Temporary JS file randomly left un-deleted in .vitepress when user hit CTRL-C upon server start

[zhangyx1998]

Describe the bug

Reproduction

This happened several times when I startup the dev server and hit CTRL-C very quickly. Most of the time I just notice the extra file and manually delete it.
But there was one time that I did not notice the tmp file, and mistakenly committed it.

Expected behavior

Maybe consider using cache/ to store bundled user config?

System Info

Not relevant.

Additional context

This seemed to be caused by loadConfigFromFile().

Since this is a Vite API, it seems like we should ask them to add an extra option to specify the output location of temporary config file.

(code to blame)

Let me know if you would like to implement this change. If so, I can open a feature request to Vite.

Validations

• Check if you're on the latest VitePress version.
• Follow our Code of Conduct
• Read the docs.
• Check that there isn't already an issue that reports the same bug to avoid creating a duplicate.

I guess, for now, you can simply have *.timestamp-*.mjs there in .gitignore. I'm not sure if they will be accepting a change there as the module resolution might get messed up depending on the cache directory.

Nice catch. I'll investigate further before opening an issue on Vite repo.

Closing this issue because upstream is already tracking it at vitejs/vite#13267.
