• Read the docs.
• Make sure this is a Vite issue and not a framework-specific issue. For example, if it's a Vue SFC related bug, it should likely be reported to https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next instead.

Describe the bug

In the context of vite-plugin-ssr (or any SSR framework such as Nuxt), import.meta.glob() is called by SSR framework source code instead of being called by user-land source code. Consequently the file calling import.meta.glob() lives inside node_modules/.

Because of the following, import.meta.glob() is not processed.

// vite/src/node/plugins/importAnalysisBuild.ts

    async transform(source, importer) {
      if (importer.includes('node_modules')) {
        // The `import.meta.glob()` living inside the SSR framework source code is not processed
        return
      }

      // `import.meta.glob` gets transformed here
    }

Reproduction

npm init vite-plugin-ssr
cd vite-ssr-project/
npm run build

The generated bundles at dist/ will miss all the import.meta.glob() imports.

If vite-plugin-ssr is ln -s'd then everything works as expect because node_modules is not contained in the path anymore.

I can provide a minimal repro if needed.

https://vitejs.dev/guide/features.html#glob-import

Globbing from dependencies is not supported.

It seems that the globbing from node_modules import is not supported in document.

@ygj6 I guess it's a feature request then :-).

This is a necessary feature to be able to build a framework like Nuxt on top of Vite.
