I had the same problem

[morelearn1990]

I had the same problem.

but I have a mistake here：

[vite:build-html] No corresponding legacy polyfill chunk found for /home/projects/vitejs-vite-4znqdj/index.html

Reproduction：

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-4znqdj?file=vite.config.ts&terminal=build-w

[morelearn1990]

I printed some logs that showed that some hook functions were executed in the wrong order when using watch。

plugin vite:legacy-post-process hook transformIndexHtml execution time has been advanced.

How should i resolve this?

I had the same problem.

I have a mistake here： [vite:build-html] No corresponding legacy polyfill chunk found for /home/projects/github-kyokdx-u2bdcf/app2/index.html

my project use @originjs/vite-plugin-federation and @vitejs/plugin-legacy both. Remove @originjs/vite-plugin-federation，the mistake will gone.

I try to changed the filename in the federation configuration to "remoteEntry-legacy.js"，the mistake also will gone，but I not sure @vitejs/plugin-legacy work successfull.

Reproduction： https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-kyokdx-u2bdcf?file=readme.md,app2%2Fvite.config.js,package.json

cd app2
yarn build

[Deuscx]

same issue. any update?

[ruixiaozi]

同样的问题，何时更新啊

[ruixiaozi]

仅在-w参数时出现

[JuniorTour]

Same error, when combine createHtmlPlugin and @vitejs/plugin-legacy, vite will throw Error: [vite:build-html] No corresponding legacy entry chunk found for /.../index.html

  plugins: [
    createHtmlPlugin({
      inject: {
        data: {
          injectScript: `<script src="/public/co-channel.js"></script>`,
        },
      },
    }),
    legacy({
      targets: {
        ie: '11',
      },
    }),
]

[tonylua]

+1 同样是 federation，就算改成 -legacy， remoteEntry 也不会被编译

[nicky132]

same problem when i use" lerna run build --scope=main --stream --parallel -- --watch "to watch "vite build --mode production", how can i solve this

[JortdeBokx]

any updates?

[Miofly]

how to resolve problem

[chenhw]

any updates?

[BrahimOubbad]

Is there any way for fix this issue

[curlykay]

It's amazing that this issue came up in 2021! No solution or instructions so far? I'm experiencing the same problem.

[zoemartin01]

This plugin currently relies on a specific build order for a given OutputOptions list.

https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/b44e3d43db65babe1c32e143964add02e080dc15/packages/plugin-legacy/src/index.ts#L584-L587

This specific build order is only present in the vite rollup wrapper. https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/b44e3d43db65babe1c32e143964add02e080dc15/packages/vite/src/node/build.ts#L827-L829 https://github.com/rollup/rollup/blob/4b8745922d37d8325197d5a6613ffbf231163c7d/src/watch/watch.ts#L213

The watch flag causes vite to use rollup's watch util with uses Promise.all instead of a concurrent for-of loop to build the OutputOptions which means the build order is not guaranteed to be the way this plugin expects which then fails the following check https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/b44e3d43db65babe1c32e143964add02e080dc15/packages/plugin-legacy/src/index.ts#L665-L668
