Hi,

So I tried to do an npm run build (which I use to compile my Tailwind CSS) - and got this weird error that came up.. which may be due to me stupidly trying to install Breeze on an all ready existing application.. who knows.. anyway long story short here is the error message I get:

`forge@big-stem:~/rrdevours.monster$ npm run build

build vite build

vite v2.9.15 building for production... ✓ 1 modules transformed. [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "alpinejs" from "resources/js/app.js". This is most likely unintended because it can break your application at runtime. If you do want to externalize this module explicitly add it to build.rollupOptions.external error during build: Error: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "alpinejs" from "resources/js/app.js". This is most likely unintended because it can break your application at runtime. If you do want to externalize this module explicitly add it to build.rollupOptions.external at onRollupWarning (/home/forge/rrdevours.monster/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-689425f3.js:41797:19) at onwarn (/home/forge/rrdevours.monster/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-689425f3.js:41613:13) at Object.onwarn (/home/forge/rrdevours.monster/node_modules/rollup/dist/shared/rollup.js:23216:13) at ModuleLoader.handleResolveId (/home/forge/rrdevours.monster/node_modules/rollup/dist/shared/rollup.js:22466:26) at /home/forge/rrdevours.monster/node_modules/rollup/dist/shared/rollup.js:22427:26`

If anyone has experience of this error I can revert to where vite is working beautifully it would be much appreciated (or to check anything).

Thanks
