Vitest Runs Tests in node_modules, despite node_modules being excludedI

Describe the bug

I have the following test section in my vite.config.ts (the "exclude" section is the key part):

  test: {
      environment: 'jsdom',
      exclude: ['e2e/*', 'node_modules/*'],
      globals: true,
      // Fix for React Testing Library + Vite Test
      // @see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77611978/invalid-chai-property-in-vitest
      setupFiles: ['./setupTests.ts']
      // The above just does: import '@testing-library/jest-dom';
  },

However, despite the above exclude, tests in my e2e and node_modules folders are run.

Example Tests (from excluded folders):

 ❯ e2e/tests/aichat.spec.ts (0)
 ❯ e2e/tests/campaigns.spec.ts (0)
 ❯ e2e/tests/techniques.spec.ts (0)
 ❯ node_modules/graphiql/src/components/__tests__/GraphiQL.spec
.tsx (31)

Example failure (originating in node_modules)

    at StorageContextProvider (file:///Users/jeremywalker/new-ui/interpres-new-ui/node_modules/@graphiql/react/dist/index.mjs:42:13)
    at GraphiQLProvider (file:///Users/jeremywalker/new-ui/interpres-new-ui/node_modules/@graphiql/react/dist/index.mjs:2893:13)
    at GraphiQL (/Users/jeremywalker/new-ui/interpres-new-ui/node_modules/graphiql/src/components/GraphiQL.tsx:18:3)
..

(There are lots more of the above.)

Clearly:

  exclude: ['e2e/*', 'node_modules/*'],

is not being applied.

Reproduction

Since this doesn't seem to have anything to do with my test files (the whole problem is that it's runing files besides mine), and I've provided my vite config, I'm not sure what else I can offer to help with reproduction, but I'd be happy to provide anything else.

However, despite the above exclude, tests in my e2e and node_modules folders are run.

You have an error in you configuration. node_modules/* excludes only files in the first level - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/glob?comments=true&glob=node_modules%2F%2A&matches=false&tests=node_modules%2Fgraphiql%2Fsrc%2Fcomponents%2F__tests__%2FGraphiQL.spec.

When **, the "globstar", is used it matches zero or more directories and subdirectories. This allows for recursive directory searching easily.

Default pattern correctly excludes node_modules: https://vitest.dev/config/#exclude

['**/node_modules/**', '**/dist/**', '**/cypress/**', '**/.{idea,git,cache,output,temp}/**', '**/{karma,rollup,webpack,vite,vitest,jest,ava,babel,nyc,cypress,tsup,build}.config.*']
