I tested and following the exact same instructions works when using the regular Vite Solid template.

I know these sort of issues can come up with the export conditions aren't setup correct for Solid but given this only happens in Solid Start it might be something relating to SSR.

Just did a quick test and rendering Devtools via clientOnly seems to fix the issue.

This should probally be done internally by Solid Devtools for a better developer experience as devtools isn't going to need any SSR rendering.

I pushed the code using the clientOnly workaround here.
