Describe the bug

public assets are no longer copied when building
.output/public/ remains empty

Additional context

This is also not possible with a new nitro project.

When srcDir points to server/ you need to put all sources into server/ directory, including server/public.

I will convert issue to an enhancement since it might be more ergonomic to auto add top level public dir but it is not current expectation.

Thanks @pi0 . I followed the documentation. Perhaps this should be updated as it shows that the public folder is in the root by default.

public/
  image.png     <-- /image.png
  video.mp4     <-- /video.mp4
  robots.txt    <-- /robots.txt
package.json
nitro.config.ts
