+If you decide to process CSS files, you can configure if class names inside CSS modules should be scoped. By default, Vitest exports a proxy, bypassing CSS Modules processing.
+
+You might want to enable this, if your CSS classes are conflicting with each other, when CSS is inlined. For example, when you are accessing computed styles:
+
+```tsx
+// global.module.css
+// .error { width: 600px }
+
+// element.module.css
+// .error { width: 100px }
+
+// test
+const styles = window.getComputedStyles(<div className={error}></div>)
+// it's possible to have two different classes with conflicting styles
+expect(styles).toMatchObject({ with: '100px' })
+```
