Vite won't restart if proxy is interrupted

[wenq1]

Describe the bug

If configured with proxy, such as

server.proxy: {
    '/api':         {target: 'http://localhost:3000/'},
}

Vite won't restart when the local server is restarted, especially when server restart takes more than a few seconds (during development), throwing an error:

19:25:21 [vite] http proxy error:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3000
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1157:16)

I keep getting this error and can't fix it. Any solutions??

I'm not sure when it happened, but apparently this is fixed now. I upgraded from Vite 2.x to 4.2.1 and it works like a charm now. I'm still getting error messages from Vite when I'm restarting the proxy target server (which is fine I guess), but once the target server is ready Vite will connect to the server again.
