Build fails when using algoliasearch

Description

When using the algoliasearch/lite package in an AnalogJS project, the build process (npm run build) fails. However, the project runs as expected in development mode (npm run dev).

Nothing is generated in the output folder when the build fails. It seems like the client build phase doesn't generate an output and the SSR build phase throws an error.

I've tried adding algoliasearch and algoliasearch/lite to the noExternal configuration in vite.config.js but did not fix the problem:

ssr: {
  noExternal: ['algoliasearch'], // 'algoliasearch/lite'
},

Please provide the exception or error you saw

This can be resolved with the vite-plugin-node-polyfills package.

npm i vite-plugin-node-polyfills --save-dev

And update the vite config

/// <reference types="vitest" />

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import analog from '@analogjs/platform';
import { nodePolyfills } from 'vite-plugin-node-polyfills'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => ({
  build: {
    target: ['es2020'],
  },
  resolve: {
    mainFields: ['module'],
  },
  plugins: [
    analog(),
    nodePolyfills(),
  ],
  test: {
    globals: true,
    environment: 'jsdom',
    setupFiles: ['src/test-setup.ts'],
    include: ['**/*.spec.ts'],
    reporters: ['default'],
  },
  define: {
    'import.meta.vitest': mode !== 'production',
  },
}));

You might see a build error logged to the console at the end, but the server runs correctly.
