The base option should not be set in Electron. I think your problem is not with this option, but with your project structure and configuration.

[alex8088]

Maybe your problem is static public assets handling.

I see the point you are making here but there are specific application requirements where you would need a http server, so why would you restrict it to not setting the base in that case? The base is still ./ by default in my PR. It would just allow for more range of freedom for the usage of electron-vite.

I also have this problem. I need to output both web and exe at the same time, so that 'base' can be used normally in the web. Now, both web and exe can run normally, but I need to configure base separately. How should I solve this problem?

base option not work in Electron. The recommended way is to add a vite config with the specified different output directories and use vite to bundle your renderer.

I published my fork under https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fynnix/electron-vite, where the base parameter can be changed.
I have the same reason as you, where I output something via web and a electron window.

Your suggestion should work as long as you dont use something like preact prerendering.
