Describe the Bug

I read files to generate a content collection. Works fine during development, but fails during build with this output:

❯ astro build
17:09:47 [content] Syncing content
17:09:47 [content] Content config changed
17:09:47 [content] Clearing content store
Vite module runner has been closed.

    at eval (file:///home/projects/withastro-astro-7t9i3ppv/node_modules/astro/dist/content/content-layer.js:188:18)

What's the expected result?

Should behave identically to dev.

In the console, run astro build.

Ran into this issue updating an old website of mine, if an additional reproduction is needed: withastro/astro-issues#1

Note that I do not use content collections

It happens to me any time I import a file in a collection. Here's the smallest repro I've come up with:

export const examples = defineCollection({
  loader: async () => {
    const file = await import('/src/examples/csv/grammar.txt');
    return [];
  },
});

Commenting out const file... means build will succeed.

On your repo I replaced this line:

const allStats = import.meta.glob("/src/data/*.json");

With this line:

const allStats = {}

And the error disappeared (it was replaced with a later error but presumably that's because this object is not expected to be empty).

I wondered if dynamic imports were broken entirely but I put this at the top of an astro file and it worked fine:

const f = await import("/src/examples/csv/grammar.txt?raw")

can also confirm that this issue is happening with the following vite dynamic import functions from an integration hook (astro:config:setup) as well... we (StudioCMS team) had to disable our config file loading system (Load a users studiocms.config.{mjs|js|ts|mts|cjs|cts} in order to upgrade to v5). hopefully there will be a fix soon!

const mod = await import(configPath)

Maybe same as vitejs/vite#18962

I have a workaround, reading files with fs.readFile. Here is my loader:

    loader: async () => {
        const files = await fastGlob("src/examples/*.json");
        return await Promise.all(files.map(async f => {
            const contents = await fs.readFile(f, "utf-8")
            const json = JSON.parse(contents);
            return {
                id: json.title,
                title: json.title,
                grammar: json.grammar,
                input: json.input,
                highlighted: json.highlighted
            }
        }));
    },

I'll close this for now as the above Vite issue linked has also been fixed, which I think is the same issue here.
