Integrate other frameworks with Express.js - not detecting server.js

[dzak83]

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools: 13.4.1

Platform: Windows

[REQUIRED] Test case

I am deploying Vite React SSR solution for Firebase Express.js but it's not detecting server.js

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

1. Clone Vite React SSR example: https://github.com/bluwy/create-vite-extra/tree/master/template-ssr-react
2. Run locally and confirm it works with vite
3. Follow firebase setup as per https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/frameworks/express, so:
4. Make sure source is set to "hosting": { "source": "." }
5. Add in package.json "directories": { "serve": "dist" },
6. firebase deploy

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

server.js is running and is replacing html parts

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

server.js is not running

I tried many configuration options but I don't think express is running at all. If I navigate manually to https://{myapp}.web.app/client the index.html from client react will render react page but without server rendering so I know that hosting is up and fine for client. When I navigate to https://{myapp}.web.app/server/entry-server.js I also see the file.

I also tried adding to package.json: "files": ["dist", "server.js"], "main": "server.js", but it didn't resolve the problem.

This feature is so new that I have issues to find any other tutorial online and after trying many configurations I think it might be broken.

Let me know if I can provide better logs to debug.
