Describe the Bug

if there's no index.html, then the assets directory doesn't get copied to /dist, so wrangler deploy fails with an error The directory specified by the "assets.directory" field in your configuration file does not exist:.

I thought a workaround would be to manually copy, so I ran rm -rf dist && vite build && mkdir -p dist/client && cp -r public/* dist/client && wrangler deploy but even tho that copies files and prevents wrangler from erroring, wrangler deploy doesn't pick up any files and upload from from there.

Please provide any relevant error logs

now that I think about it, it can't do because vite hasn't run my app to get the entry point to my js. which makes sense. while this isn't a bug, it's definitely something to consider...
