multiple windows , secondary renderer process requiring npm run build

[stuartambient]

Describe the bug

I have a multiple windows app. I'm finding for the second renderer process, any changes I make in the code requires me to run npm run build first. Something I'm doing wrong ? Generally with the first renderer, it may have required me to restart (npm run dev) but not specifically use npm run build before.

/* ELECTRON VITE CONFIG */
import { resolve } from 'path';
import { defineConfig, externalizeDepsPlugin } from 'electron-vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';

export default defineConfig({
  main: {
    plugins: [externalizeDepsPlugin()]
  },
  preload: {
    plugins: [externalizeDepsPlugin()],
    build: {
      rollupOptions: {
        input: {
          index: resolve(__dirname, 'src/preload/index.js'),
          child: resolve(__dirname, 'src/preload/child.js')
        }
      }
    }
  },
  renderer: {
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        '@renderer': resolve('src/renderer/src')
      }
    },
    build: {
      rollupOptions: {
        input: {
          main: resolve(__dirname, 'src/renderer/index.html'),
          child: resolve(__dirname, 'src/renderer/child.html')
        }
      }
    },
    plugins: [react()]
  }
});```
