The file defined in quasar.config > bex > extraScripts > "${

Error message

The file defined in quasar.config > bex > extraScripts > "${rawName}" does NOT exist. Skipping.

What it means

extractBexScripts also processes quasar.config > bex > extraScripts. Each raw name is resolved against the src-bex directory; when the file does not exist the warning is emitted and the script is skipped instead of being compiled into the BEX.

Solutions

Move the script file into src-bex (extraScripts paths resolve relative to src-bex).
Fix the path/name in quasar.config > bex > extraScripts.
Remove the stale entry if the script is no longer needed.
Restart the dev server / rebuild after changing quasar.config so it is reloaded.

Example fix

// before (quasar.config.js)
bex: { extraScripts: ['extras/my-script.js'] } // file is at ./extras/my-script.js
// after
bex: { extraScripts: ['my-script.js'] } // moved to src-bex/my-script.js

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const fs = require('fs'), path = require('path')
for (const s of require('./quasar.config.js').bex?.extraScripts || []) {
  if (!fs.existsSync(path.join('src-bex', s))) throw new Error(`extraScripts entry missing (paths are relative to src-bex): ${s}`)
}

Prevention

Remember extraScripts resolve relative to src-bex, not the project root.
Keep extraScripts entries minimal and documented in quasar.config comments.
Restart dev/build after editing quasar.config so changes take effect.

When it happens

Trigger: quasar.config > bex > extraScripts array contains an entry whose file cannot be found via appPaths.resolve.bex(rawName) (i.e. not inside src-bex).

Common situations: Config written expecting paths relative to project root instead of src-bex; script file deleted or renamed; typos in the config entry; forgetting that extraScripts must live within src-bex.
