Describe the Bug

Hi guys !

I tried to use await Astro.glob inside a TS file by passing Astro as an argument. Throw the error "FN is not a function", looks like a Vite-related problem.

The same function works like a charm when in an Astro file.

Error log

fn is not a function

Tried to quickly debug this on my end and it seems like importMetaGlobResult here is somehow an array of strings instead of being an array of imports. I'm guessing this happens because in a .ts files Astro.glob doesn't get processed correctly or something like that (or processed at all, now that I think about it. Our Vite plugin only works inside Astro files)

If we can't fix the underlying problem, we should at least provide a better error message pointing towards using import.meta.glob

I think this is expected as documented at https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/api-reference/#astroglob. Closing this for now.

Actually we could have better error messages when detecting the value that's passed in to Astro.glob, so re-opening 😅
