vue.js deployment pointing to wrong static assets directory

Question

I am trying to deploy my first application made with vue-cli,

everything works in npm run dev, now when I build with npm run build, it created dist directory, with file structure: index.html static/

but every reference in index.html etc.. is to /app/static

src=/app/static/js/vendor.87e3cb

if I create a directory named app and copy static to /app than everything works.

I am obviously missing something simple.

Answer 1

simple enough, in /config/index.js file, I had assetsPublicPath: '/app/', set only for build, but commented out for dev.
