Cypress + Vite 5 + Typescript: exports is not defined in ES module scope

Description

When I try to start cypress in a vite 5 project with typescript the console returns this error:

I think it is due to cypress having problems with the tsconfig.json structure created by vite.

I moved bug repo to the cypress repository

It happened to me, too. It seems to be caused by this line of code:

// package.json
{
  // ...
  "type": "module"
  // ...
}
