"includeClientSideAssets" is not working when i deploy our client-side web part
I am trying to deploy our client side web part, and this web part uses CSS & JavaScript files. where i am following steps similar to this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/serve-your-web-part-in-a-sharepoint-page.
and inside my web part's package-solution.json file >> i have the includeClientSideAssets = Yes. but when i upload the .sppkg file to our app catalog, and i add the web part inside a site collection, the web part fail to load, because it was not able to reference the CSS & JavaScript files. here is the error i got:-
but based on my knowledge , if we have the includeClientSideAssets = Yes, then all the dependencies files (such as CSS & JavaScript) should be included inside the sppkg file... but seems this is not the case??!!

This will only work if your project is created for SharePoint online and not "Share Point 2016 and later".
In your write-manifest have you modified the cdnBasePath? If so set it back to the below otherwise it will fail
{"cdnBasePath": "<!-- PATH TO CDN -->"}Also include assets should be set to true"includeClientSideAssets": true,- john johnSteel Contributor

There are 2 options in to Yomen generator so thats why I asked that, one is for SharePoint online only and the other is for both.
Did you check the values in the solution?
