@bluwy I believe you looked into this issue in the past. Did we conclude that we couldn't support it?

This looks eerily familiar but I can't quite remember what was the problem. @impcyber I can't seem to get codesandbox working, there's some sort of yarn install error, but it might be me not familiar with codesandbox. Can you provide a GitHub repo or stackblitz instead?

I also tried replicating this locally and it's working fine for me.

@bluwy Something strange happens, but the example i have provided works well now...
But anyway here is an repo (part of my real project): https://github.com/impcyber/astro-test-outdir

git clone [email protected]:impcyber/astro-test-outdir.git
cd astro-test-outdir
pnpm i
pnpm build

I have tested it now, error present:

P.S: https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-5h7msy?file=app/astro.config.mjs
stackblitz example works well too
