I found something... maybe it helps why is happening but not the resolution of the case.
When i left the browser window open i see in the console trying to connect to __vite_ping socket... and is looping, and when i hit npm run dev appears the error about Access is denied. If I close everything and run again it works (throwing the error:
[vite] Internal server error: Failed to resolve import "./chunk-XXXXXXXX.js" from "node_modules\.cache\vite\client\chunk-XXXXXX.js?v=f0f3a41b". Does the file exist? but the app starts.

[antfu]

Can you clean up the node_modules and try again with a clean install. If it still persists, please provide a minimal reproduction.

[chapus]

Deleted node_modes/ and package-lock.json after npm run dev when I browse the app this error appears:

After the error there is a hot reload and the app run ok.

I stopped node, then run again npm run dev and I get the error about Access is denied.

In this case 5 errors about Access denied, if I stop and close everything and start again, 2 errors about Access denied...

It seems to be random when the app up right.

[hotrungnhan]

[chapus]

Let me check downgrading the version and post the results. @hotrungnhan

[Congb19]

same problem in vite but not use nuxt.
I guess maybe it's because of windows shell access？the problem doesn't appear in a same enviroment in Macos (the same project, the latest pnpm)
but when i use powershell as administrator, the problem still exist:

Same problem when I using node version 14.15.0, but I switch node to version 16.13.0 this problem did not show up. I delete the 'node_modules/.vite' folder and switch node back to version 14.15.0, this problem show up again.

Oh, thank u. Node 16.13.0 is ok.

Thank you! Node 16.13.0 works. I used Node 14.15.3 before.

But my node version is 16.13.0 and still have this problem.
vite: ^2.7.6
Upgrade to the latest vite still the same error.

[yll521]

卸载node 重新安装

[liangyuanzu]

I found the problem in the last row. The reason was that regular expressions were used, as follows:

export const foo = (url: string) => {
  return /\?$/.test(url) ? true : false
}

When I extracted the regularity, it passed the compilation smoothly, as follows:

export const foo = (url: string) => {
  const reg = /\?$/
  return reg.test(url) ? true : false
}

I don’t know why this happens, can anyone help me answer it?

I upgrade vite from 2.6.14 to 2.7.12 and have this problem too. I have upgraded my node.js to 16.13.2.

When I downgrade vite to 2.6.14, it reloads a few times but the server can spin up.

Then I upgrade vite to 2.7.12, It seems that server can spin up but the page doesn't work.

Here is everything from my console

After closing the browser and npm run dev, those failed to load... don't appear in the terminal anymore but the page still failed to load correctly, and the errors in the console remain the same.

I'll just stay using vite: 2.6.14 which is a working version for me.
Just tried to provide some information here, sorry if this is unhelpful.

update

After deleting package-lock.json and node_modules and reinstall the packages with npm i, now I have vite: 2.7.12 working properly, although it still shows a bunch of Failed to load source map... at the first time of running npm run dev

Thanks! Use Node.js version 16.13.2 is ok.

The same problem, but only when switching between dev and prod(dev to prod) .But my solution is different from yours, and I hope it helps.
First of all: there is no need to upgrade Nodejs to 16.x, my own version is 14.x
vite.config.js/ts has a configuration called cacheDir：
type： string
default： "node_modules/.vite"
Directory to save cache files. Files in this directory are pre-bundled deps or some other cache files generated by vite, which can improve the performance. You can use --force flag or manually delete the directory to regenerate the cache files. The value can be either an absolute file system path or a path relative to project root. Default to .vite when no package.json is detected.
The key word is --force，
Vite added caching to node_modules/. Vite to improve performance.
If you want to clear the cache, you need to add the --force directive to the startup command.
For example: NPM run vite --force, of course you can also configure your own directives in package.json:
{ "name": "test-production", "version": "2.1.2", "private": true, "scripts": { "serve": "vite", "serve:dev": "vite --mode development", "serve:prod": "vite --mode production --force", }, } // npm run serve || npm run serve:dev || npm run serve:prod

Problem solved. Thanks.

[RafaDev-IT]

In my case was because I didn't install node, and when I installed it I had to reboot my pc because consoles (cmd, cmder, powershell) wasn't recognition that node was already installed.
