Bundles for Philter Manager (the new one) are different on Windows and Linux. I discovered this while attempting to process #62 -- the bundles built by @midgleyc (on WSL) were different from the ones I built on my machine (Windows). If I build the bundles on Ubuntu 20.04 (WSL 2, Windows 10), the bundles were the same.

After a few days of puzzling and experimentation, I tracked this down to a Vite problem. When I disabled build.minify, Vite would produce differently named variables on Windows and Linux.

On Windows:

var C__Users_Phil_Documents_GitHub_viteReproJs_node_modules_react = { exports: {} };

On Linux:

var react = { exports: {} };

I suspect this is what causes the (minified) bundles to be different on Windows and Linux as well.

I am pretty sure this is a Vite problem, not a Rollup problem. In fact, Vite has several issues that appear to be related to this:

• Absolute paths of development environment are leaked to unminified production code vitejs/vite#2623
• Separate Source Maps' files from real files via namespace vitejs/vite#2950
• Remove absolute local path to a component from source maps vitejs/vite#2967

What can we do?

Edit: This is fixed by #77

Until this is solved, I'll have to move to WSL for generating bundles.

• [ ] Add info in CONTRIBUTING.md (We should add this first)
• [ ] Rebuild bundle in WSL
