Describe the bug

At Qwik, we use Vite. When updating to 3.0.0, we found out that the app always crashes in the browser, because a SSR module leaks and it's imported through a ESM import in the browser code.

Internally QwikVite plugin uses ssrLoadModule(). seems like it's caching the transform needed for SSR and making it accessible from the client, when hitting the URL.

even manually setting transformRequest(url, {ssr: false]) returns a request that in SSR only.

This was not a problem in 2.9.9

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Module "module" has been externalized for browser compatibility. Cannot access "module.createRequire" in client code.

I am having this issue in my app since upgrading to Vite 3. The issue is coming from a library I'm using called dom-to-svg, and it only happens with vite dev.

I have a reproduction case here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/sveltejs-kit-template-default-azwtze?file=src%2Froutes%2Findex.svelte&terminal=dev

To see the error, run npm run dev, and the index page crashes with this error:

Error: Module "path" has been externalized for browser compatibility. Cannot access "path.dirname" in client code.

Interestingly, it works just fine in "prod" mode. If you run npm run build && npm run preview, it does not crash.

Hey @manucorporat, sorry for the regression. Would it be possible for you to PR Qwik CI or a part of it to https://github.com/vitejs/vite-ecosystem-ci? We can then detect these issues before releasing the next versions. A file in tests like this one is enough to get our CIs connected: https://github.com/vitejs/vite-ecosystem-ci/blob/main/tests/marko.ts

The issue appears in Qwik because you are setting build.ssr: true in the config. Most projects don't have that set during development. This is a bug in Vite though, I'll send a PR soon to include it in 3.0.2.

@manucorporat this should be fixed in vite@3.0.2
Would you contact me (@patak in https://chat.vitejs.dev)? It would be great if we could get the qwik CI in vite-ecosystem-ci so this doesn't happen again

@patak-dev unfortunately similar bugs are still there:

I'm getting similar error in browser while using y2be-player :

It seems to be related to the Class extending the EventEmitter
