This is due to Manifest files are now generated in .vite directory by default

As a solution you can run a script to remove it after build or just exclude it from your pack script

I tried to set false to build.manifest according to the vite doc: https://vite.dev/config/build-options.html#build-manifest
but the npm run build generates manifest.json in .vite.
