Can i use quinoa when making a native build?

[keesjetil]

Good day fellow developers,

I trying to work with quinoa and angular 17 in quarkus, and so far in dev mode and prod mode its working like a charm.

However when trying to write a native application using this tutorial: https://quarkus.io/guides/writing-native-applications-tips i cant seem to get the frontend working, always seeing a screen with resources not found. setting the quarkus.native.resources.includes to the build dir or to the generated target dir where the contents of the build dir are moved to did not work. I still see resource not found.

After much experimentation with maven, i found a workaround by using the frontend maven plugin to build my app and the maven ant plugin to move the resources to the META-INF dir in the pre-package phase. This is a very inefficient workaround since at the package phase the app is being build again.

long story short, is there an efficient way to configure quinoa such that native builds serve the build resources in a correct manor?

Tips and tricks are much appreciated.

With kind regards,

Kees Til

Quinoa works with Native build out of the box do you have a small Sample Quarkus reproducer you can show that its not working? I have 3 different apps all building Native Images with Quinoa just fine.

you can study my full working Quinoa demo which uses real database, rest services etc to serve a Quinoa app based on React. https://github.com/melloware/quarkus-primereact

Why are you resources outside of META-INF/ ???

[keesjetil]

Because quinoa moves them see ==> https://docs.quarkiverse.io/quarkus-quinoa/dev/config-reference.html

the [quarkus.quinoa.build-dir] and [quarkus.quinoa.just-build] move the files to the 'target/quinoa/build' dir. on top of that if you see the warning on the getting started page ==> https://docs.quarkiverse.io/quarkus-quinoa/dev/index.html the resources are not meant to go into the META-INF folder,at least that is what im seeing if i build my app.

i am looking at your project right now and just looking at it (not building yet), i do not see a reason why your generated resources would be in a META-INF folder. I will inspect your project later on today thanks for the inspiration, it might help me understanding what is going wrong.

Ok let me know. It should all just work. What language and build tool are you using? Vite? React? angular?

Unzip this:
quinoa-quickstart.zip

Run mvn quarkus:dev and go to http://localhost:8080

Its as bare bones a Quinoa app as you will find. Then build it for native.
