Prevent proxying node APIs completely

[Ineluki]

Description

I am trying to build a vue app using vite 4.0.4. It will not run in a regular browser, but in nw.js (https://nwjs.io/) - Therefore all node APIs already exist. But vite is creating these __vite-browser-external:os proxies that prevent access to them. I am trying to completely prevent that behavior, or at least exclude all node APIs, but I have not found an option to do so.

Simplest example:

//main.ts
import os from 'os';
console.log(os.platform())

is transformed to:

import os from "/@id/__vite-browser-external:node:os";
console.log(os.platform());

The optimizeDeps.exclude option has no effect;

the resolve.alias happens, but cannot circumvent the problem.
alias: { 'os': 'node:os' } just causes the error to shift to 'node:os' instead.

Suggested solution

Add a config option that stops interception of any specified or all node:* imports

Have you tried build.rollupOptions.external? Also turn on ssr as your code is running under node-ish envs.

Vite supports browser by default only. If you're looking for node support, you should use the SSR feature, or follow this discussion: #7821
