We're still working on vite 4 support, but 7.0.0-beta.6 does not crash upon startup, in your reproduction.

[tmeasday]

Sure. This issue is really just about the error not being helpful rather than the crash itself @IanVS

Good golly!! I just released https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/releases/tag/v7.0.0-beta.7 containing PR #20243 that references this issue. Upgrade today to the @next NPM tag to try it out!
