Follow-up to #4542, which left vite as the only optional peer dependency. It is now resolved from the user project too (src/utils/dep.ts), so Nitro ships with no peer dependencies at all.

Value imports → importVite

New src/build/vite/_import.ts helper (same shape as src/build/rollup/_import.ts).

where before now
build.ts resolveModulePath + import(viteEntry) importVite({ dir, id }) (keeps the __vitePkg__ override used by the vite7 tests)
dev.ts import { DevEnvironment } from "vite" subclass defined lazily against the resolved instance

FetchableDevEnvironment extends Vite's DevEnvironment, so the class can only be defined once vite is resolved. createFetchableDevEnvironment() is now async and builds the class against the vite resolved from config.root (cached per dir); the type stays exported via InstanceType<...>, so call sites are unchanged apart from an await.

Everything else in src/build/vite/ is import type, which needs no dependency at runtime.

The dev worker

src/runtime/internal/vite/dev-worker.mjs imports vite/module-runner at runtime, from Nitro's own dist/. That only worked because the peer entry made pnpm link vite into Nitro's node_modules — without it, a real isolated install cannot resolve it and dev breaks.

The host now resolves the module runner from the app and injects it, the same contract the other runner dependencies already use (src/dev/runner-deps.ts): writeDevWorkerEntry() generates <buildDir>/vite/dev-worker.mjs, which re-exports the runtime worker and calls its new setModuleRunner(). A generated file (rather than passing a path through IPC) keeps the import static, which is what miniflare/workerd needs.

Other

  • package.json: peerDependencies / peerDependenciesMeta dropped (vite stays in devDependencies; compatiblePackages still documents ^7 || ^8).
  • build.config.ts: vite added to optionalDeps, externals and tracedPackages no longer read pkg.peerDependencies.
  • resolveBuilder: uses ensureDep / isDepInstalled instead of its own createRequire + prompt helpers. This also fixes the 3 pre-existing test/unit/import-attributes.test.ts failures noted in feat: import optional deps on demand from the user project #4542 — the prompt was firing against a temp rootDir with no isTest guard.
  • AGENTS.md / .agents/vite.md updated.

Testing

pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck, pnpm build clean. test:rollup and test:rolldown: 964 passed each (the rollup suite is now green). No bare vite import is left in dist/**/*.mjs.

Verified against a real isolated install (pnpm pack → app with node-linker=isolated, where Nitro's own node_modules has no vite): vite dev serves a server route through the module runner and nitro build (vite builder, auto-detected) produces .output/server/index.mjs.

The miniflare dev runner was smoke-tested on examples/vite-ssr-react: the module runner loads in workerd through the generated entry. That example then fails with require is not defined (CJS React inlined under noExternal) — identical failure on main, so pre-existing and untouched here.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Removes the last (optional) peer dependency: `vite` is now resolved from
`rootDir` via `utils/dep.ts` like every other optional dependency.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Nitro now loads Vite from the user project instead of declaring it as an optional peer dependency. Development environments resolve Vite lazily. Generated worker entries inject vite/module-runner. Builder resolution uses shared dependency utilities.

Changes

Vite dependency loading and development runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Vite dependency loading and build integration
package.json, build.config.ts, src/build/vite/_import.ts, src/build/vite/build.ts, src/utils/dep.ts, AGENTS.md
Vite is removed from peer dependencies, added to optional dependencies, resolved from the user project, and loaded by viteBuild through importVite. Dependency imports now use file URLs.
Dynamic development environment and worker entry
src/build/vite/dev.ts, src/build/vite/_dev-worker.ts, src/build/vite/env.ts, src/runtime/internal/vite/dev-worker.mjs, test/unit/vite-dev-worker-reload.test.ts, test/vite/environment-cleanup.test.ts, .agents/vite.md
FetchableDevEnvironment is created asynchronously from the resolved Vite class. Generated worker entries inject the resolved module runner through setModuleRunner(). Tests await environment creation and configure the injected runner.
Builder dependency resolution
src/config/resolvers/builder.ts
Explicit builders use ensureDep with configured Rollup and Vite versions. Missing builders no longer trigger an interactive installation flow.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b9555

This PR removes Nitro’s Vite peer dependency and resolves Vite from the consuming project, but the current head still causes declaration-generation failures in two CI jobs and does not constrain already-installed Vite or Rollup versions, which can lead to failed or unsupported builds; merge should wait for these issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

Use options objects for multi-argument functions.

Both functions use positional arguments after the first parameter.

  • src/build/vite/dev.ts#L50-L60: change createFetchableDevEnvironment() to accept configuration, server, entry, and flags in a second options object.
  • src/build/vite/_dev-worker.ts#L40-L45: change _specifier() to accept to in a second options object.

As per coding guidelines, “For multi-arg functions, use an options object as the second parameter.”

63-67: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use explicit named environment types.

FetchableDevEnvironment still derives from the anonymous class returned by _defineFetchableDevEnvironment. The previous tests-checks and tests-rolldown runs reported TS4094 for inherited Vite protected/private members and an unnameable DepsOptimizer. The current inferred alias and factory return types preserve that failure.

Define named instance and constructor types. Annotate _envClasses, getFetchableDevEnvironment(), _defineFetchableDevEnvironment(), and the exported FetchableDevEnvironment type. Rerun the declaration-emitting checks.

As per coding guidelines, update types and JSDoc for API changes.

Proposed type fix
+type FetchableDevEnvironmentInstance = DevEnvironment & {
+  devServer: DevServer;
+  dispatchFetch(request: Request): Promise<Response>;
+};
+
+type FetchableDevEnvironmentConstructor = new (
+  name: string,
+  config: ResolvedConfig,
+  context: DevEnvironmentContext,
+  devServer: DevServer,
+  entry: string,
+  opts?: { preventExternalize?: boolean }
+) => FetchableDevEnvironmentInstance;
+
-export type FetchableDevEnvironment = InstanceType<
-  Awaited<ReturnType<typeof getFetchableDevEnvironment>>
->;
+export type FetchableDevEnvironment = FetchableDevEnvironmentInstance;
