This is not a bug in Vite. Because vim.wasm (emscripten output) uses a dynamic url to fetch the .wasm/.data file, Vite cannot detect that and cannot bundle those files. It works in dev just because the files happens to be served where vim.wasm expects.

One workaround is to use Module.locateFile. But vim.wasm doesn't expose that function and we cannot use this function.

Another workaround is to use vite-plugin-static-copy and copy the .wasm/.data files to where vim.wasm expects.
