Syntax Error uncommenting a vite_rails template line

[mdesantis]

• I have tried upgrading by running bundle update vite_ruby.
• I have read the troubleshooting section before opening an issue.

Description 📖

The suggested code import.meta.globEager('./**/*_channel.js') raises the following syntax error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected token: ':'

I don't think Vite supports using import.meta.globEager without saving it in a variable, as the code above produces (with an asd_channel.js inside the entrypoints folder):

{ "./asd_channel.js": __glob_0_0,}

which is a syntax error without a variable declaration (i.e. const something = ) before.

Changing the code to something like const _ = import.meta.globEager('./**/*_channel.js') makes it work.

Reproduction 🐞

Please provide a link to a repo that can reproduce the problem you ran into.

I will if needed, but the error happens just uncommenting the line after installing vite_rails, so the repo may be useless.

That is a problem only if there's no semicolon on the previous line, so it's not a matter of whether Vite supports it or not.

Thanks!
