We've tried to run Wallaby in your repository, and everything is working for us.

The version of Wallaby that you are using was released 6 months ago, and there have been a number of breaking changes to vitest since then that have required updates to Wallaby; we think your problem is a result of an incompatible vitest version.

Can you please update Wallaby core to the latest version, we think it will fix your problem. If your license has expired, you may request a trial license to confirm it fixes your issue.

Thank, with the update it works.
