When using the node:sqlite module in the backend of an Electron project, Vite outputs: Error: Module 'node:sqlite' has been externalized for browser compatibility.

I am using the node:sqlite module in the main process of an Electron project, which causes Vite to output the following error:

App threw an error during load
Error: Module "node:sqlite" has been externalized for browser compatibility. Cannot access "node:sqlite.DatabaseSync" in client code.  See https://vite.dev/guide/troubleshooting.html#module-externalized-for-browser-compatibility for more details.

However, using other Node modules does not cause any issues.

Here is the content of the vite.config:

The module using node:sqlite is referenced in the electron/main/main.ts section:

export default defineConfig(async () => ({
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    vueDevTools(),
    electron({
      main: {
        entry: 'electron/main/main.ts'
      },
      preload: {
        input: 'electron/preload/preload.ts'
      },
      renderer: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test' ? undefined : {}
    })
  ],
  clearScreen: false,
  server: {
    port: 3100,
    strictPort: true
  },
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      input: {
        fu: joinTo('apps/full-viewport/index.html'),
        mv: joinTo('apps/main-viewport-only/index.html')
      }
    }
  }
}))

I’m not sure if the issue is with my configuration or because the node:sqlite module is relatively new.
