If you only need vite, you can only use vuepress-vite, and upgrade it to the latest version:

https://github.com/vuepress/vuepress-next/blob/64de63cfacbc4d1d66430055f336eac970a5214c/packages/vuepress-vite/package.json#L2-L3

Try adding shamefully-hoist=true in the .npmrc file of your project, and re-install deps with pnpm.
