@mklueh Could you run this command inside your project and share the output?

npx envinfo --system --browsers --binaries --npmPackages vite,vite-plugin-web-extension

Hmm, darn not windows. I just fixed a problem like this for windows, and you're also on the latest version...

All your screenshots look correct. Without looking at your full configuration, I can't tell what's causing this error. Can you share a git repo with a minimal reproduction?

[mklueh]

@aklinker1 I'll do that as soon as I have time.

But to be clear, it worked one week ago 😃 not sure if it was an older version back then. I might try to downgrade and try again

[aklinker1]

I was able to reproduce this. It's because you're using Vite 4, v2 only supports vite 3. Run npm i vite@3.2.5 and it will work for you. I'm looking into vite 4 support now. See #67

[aklinker1]

This has been fixed in v3.0.0 by adding vite 4 support. Just update the plugin version, and you should be good to go.

pnpm i vite-plugin-web-extension@latest

@aklinker1 nice, thank you very much :)
