# Vite Cache Fix - 504 Error Resolved ✅

**Issue**: `GET http://localhost:3002/node_modules/.vite/deps/react-dom_client.js?v=c04e0437 net::ERR_ABORTED 504 (Outdated Optimize Dep)`

**Root Cause**: Vite's dependency optimization cache is outdated or corrupted

**Solution**: Clear Vite cache and restart server

---

## ✅ Fix Applied

### 1. Cleared Vite Cache
```bash
rm -rf node_modules/.vite
```

### 2. Restarted Dev Server
```bash
npm run dev
```

---

## 🔄 What Happened

Vite pre-bundles dependencies for faster loading. When dependencies change or the cache becomes corrupted, you get a 504 error. Clearing the cache forces Vite to re-optimize dependencies.

---

## 🚀 Server Status

- ✅ Vite cache cleared
- ✅ Server restarted
- ✅ Dependencies re-optimizing (first run takes longer)

---

## 📝 If Issue Persists

### Option 1: Full Cache Clear
```bash
cd smom-dbis-138/frontend-dapp
rm -rf node_modules/.vite
npm run dev
```

### Option 2: Reinstall Dependencies
```bash
cd smom-dbis-138/frontend-dapp
rm -rf node_modules/.vite
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm run dev
```

### Option 3: Force Optimization
```bash
cd smom-dbis-138/frontend-dapp
npm run dev -- --force
```

---

## ✅ Expected Behavior

After clearing cache:
1. First load takes longer (Vite optimizing dependencies)
2. Subsequent loads are fast
3. No more 504 errors

**✅ Cache Cleared - Server Restarted - Ready to Use!**
