Manual pasting files into assets folder needed for build rendering

[gganapat]

I am fine tuning my existing Observable Desktop code for build using Notebook Kit. The code works fine in Desktop. The relevant snippet in Desktop is below which takes the file coolprop.js and injects it as script.

But when trying to render from the dist folder, I got "File not found" error

Once I copied over the coolprop.js and coolprop.wasm files into the assets folder, then it worked fine. It looks like the files are not automatically copied over during the build process. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or was designed to be this way.

The rendered plot likes like this BTW.

Thanks,

You need to use FileAttachment("./data/coolprop.wasm").href to resolve the path to the coolprop.wasm after the site is built. I’m not sure how to tell coolprop.js where to find the coolprop.wasm file, but it won’t work if assumes that the file is called coolprop.wasm (because when assets are built into the static site, content hashes are applied for better caching).

ok, thanks. For now, I will just manually move/paste coolprop.js and coolprop.wasm to assets folder after build.
