Error when trying to load external js file in index.html (Vue)

Question

So I'm getting the following error when I try to load an external js file in the index.html

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

This how I'm calling it:

<script async src="/src/assets/fabric.min.js"></script>

I'm not sure why it's giving this error because if I use cdnjs it works fine:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/1.7.22/fabric.min.js"></script>

I can provide more details if necessary.

• user5734311: It looks like the path is wrong and your server is serving HTML instead (like a 404 error page).
• user5734311: What does it say in your browser's address bar?
• Jrey: Try to use this this link https://www.npmjs.com/package/fabric then install it using Vue.use(fabric)
• A. L: @ChrisG If you're asking about the url, I'm running on localhost: http://localhost:8080/#/
• user5734311: @A.Lau Exactly, the server sends back the index file, which starts with <. But you already solved it.

Answer 1

Solved this by moving the required file into the static folder.
