[BUG] Error when $lib imported from $lib with sveltekit 2

[shadow-identity]

Similar, but not the same as https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/28781

System info

• Playwright Version: v.1.41.0
• Operating System: macOS 14.2.1
• Browser: All
• Other info:

Source code

https://github.com/shadow-identity/sk2-playwright-repro [We will only be able to work on the issues that we can reproduce.]

[Please provide a self-contained example in a form of a snippet, archive or a repository.]

[Repro scenario can't be large or have external dependencies.]

Steps

• Make a fresh install of the SvelteKit with Typescript and Playwright support
• Add src/lib/foo.ts with exported foo function
• Add src/lib/baz.ts with exported baz function. The baz.ts should import and use foo function
• Import baz into tests/test.ts and use it inside of the test function call
• To be sure that it is not the same issue as https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/28781, apply the workaround

Expected

Tests are passed, "foo" is printed in the console.

Actual

Tests fails with this output

> playwright test

[WebServer] "confetti" is imported from external module "@neoconfetti/svelte" but never used in "src/routes/sverdle/+page.svelte".
Error: Cannot find package '$lib' imported from /Users/pnedrigailov/my/tmp/sk2/src/lib/baz.ts

Error: No tests found
