clean command not detecting versions properly

[philippevezina]

Description 📖

vite_ruby uses the mtime as a reference to detect different versions of the app: https://github.com/ElMassimo/vite_ruby/blob/main/vite_ruby/lib/vite_ruby/commands.rb#L148 That being said, a single Vite build can generate files with more than one mtime. For example, vite-plugin-rails uses rollup-plugin-gzip at the end of the build which will write many files with different mtimes.

This causes files to delete unexpectedly when running bin/vite clean. It's possible this bug is hard to reproduce with a small project as all written files may end up having the same mtime.

Reproduction 🐞

Vite Ruby Info

• Run bin/rake vite:build on a big project with no currently built assets.
• Run bin/rake vite:clean[1,0]

Result: files will be deleted while there is only a single version of the built assets.

Hi Philippe, thanks for reporting!

Fixing this will likely require grouping files by modified time using a certain range (maybe 5 minutes is a reasonable default).
