Looks like there's a Vite plugin that might work? www.npmjs.com/package/vite...

Oooh, that would be convenient if it works. Thank you

Could try a cp this/file.js build/file.js in the build script or have it in the static/ folder Or If you’re running crons on a node server have an ingest API endpoint and run the crons against it?

I like the first idea. I came across the second idea on a forum, and it was interesting. Sounds like a fun one, but I don't want to expose an endpoint that can trigger the script. Thanks for the tips.

You can probably use the `read` function depending on how you are reading the file svelte.dev/docs/kit/$ap... Another option would be to manually copy the file after the build

Sadly, this did not work because it's a JS file. Oh well :/

Can you explain a little better the situation? What are you doing with the JS file? Where are you deploying?

Sure. Im deploying to a node server because I need background tasks to run. Using node-cron to run these, and there's a feature where tasks can run as background processes if you provide a file path. As such, node-cron tries to import that file, but it doesn't exist in the build output
