Missing entrypoints.json when installing webpack encore bundle from scratch on Symfony-CodePudding

Did the following to create a new Symfony 6 project:

cd /var/www/html
composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton <project>
cd <project>
composer req --dev symfony/profiler-pack
composer req symfony/apache-pack
composer req maker doctrine twig

so far nothing special. Then

php bin/console make:controller

to create a simply Home-Controller

Then I wanted to install Bootstrap with Encore Bundle according to https://symfony.com/doc/current/frontend/encore/installation.html

Now when I open the website I get the error:

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Could not find the entrypoints file from Webpack: the file "/var/www/html//public/build/entrypoints.json" does not exist.").

It's this line/command causing the problem in templates/base.html.twig (line 9) :

Just as a hint: There is not only entrypoints.json missing - but the whole folder public/build does not exist at all.

What do I have to do?

CodePudding user response：

If the public/build folder is empty, that means you haven't done any assets compilation. From here you can see that to compile assets you have to run e.g. yarn dev.

CodePudding user response：

After installing it with different methods (composer, yarn, npm etc.) using both Apache and symfony server and always running into the same error I had to use this command to (re)build the necessary folders and files to (at least) not run into the error again.

yarn build
