Relative path with "sideEffects": false silently breaks pages

Build tool

Vite

Where do you see the problem?

• In the browser
• In the terminal

Describe the bug

There is a page declared in vite.config.js - page.html importing ./main.js

When there is "sideEffects": false declared in package.json
vite bundles only modulepreload polyfill ignoring main.js

When there is no "sideEffects": false declared in package.json
vite correctly bundles both modulepreload polyfill and main.js file into one file

When page.html imports /main.js instead (absolute path) it works as expected bundling both modulepreload polyfill and main.js file into one file

My fix is to use absolute paths, but I would expect either an error or relative paths working as expected

Closing temporarily as I missed one thing in reproduction and after fixing it it seems to work. I need to provide a better one because I definitely see an issue locally

Found the actual issue, renamed issue and edited description

[jacksteamdev]

I was able to reproduce this with a vanilla Vite project, and it looks like Vite is tracking this bug in this issue.

Closing since it's a Vite issue.

@filipw01 This is a truly perfect minimal reproduction. Thank you! 🤗

We should add a link to a CRXJS project on StackBlitz, it makes everything so easy.

I didn't think it might be an issue with Vite itself. Thank you for the link. I might find a moment to add a link to StackBlitz somewhere

@jacksteamdev I created this vanilla js project which I think we could link in the issue template https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-webcontainer-api-starter-humgcr
