"Internal server error" when root option for Vite is used

[winterkind]

Describe the bug

When I set the root option in the Vite configuration and start the dev server, I get the server error failed to transform tagged svelte request for id for several components.

For example:

[vite] Internal server error: failed to transform tagged svelte request for id src/lib/VirtualList.svelte?svelte&type=style&lang.css
  Plugin: vite-plugin-svelte
  File: src/lib/VirtualList.svelte?svelte&type=style&lang.css
      at TransformContext.transform (C:\xxx\vite-project\node_modules\@sveltejs\vite-plugin-svelte\dist\index.cjs:1128:15)
      at Object.transform (C:\xxx\vite-project\node_modules\vite\dist\node\chunks\dep-f2b4ca46.js:50923:53)
      at transformRequest (C:\xxx\vite-project\node_modules\vite\dist\node\chunks\dep-f2b4ca46.js:66706:51)
      at async viteTransformMiddleware (C:\xxx\vite-project\node_modules\vite\dist\node\chunks\dep-f2b4ca46.js:66844:32)

As far as I remember, this still worked with release next.11. In the demo project below for reproduction, the root option is just a dummy to show the issue. But I have other projects where I need to set the root option. There it blocks me from updating the plug-in.

Reproduction

1. Clone https://gitlab.com/winterkind/vite-project/
2. In vite.config.ts un-comment the root option (// root: "./",)
3. npm start and open index.html in your browser

blocking an upgrade

Can reproduce. Looks like one of the internal path resolver wasn't resolving properly when root is specified. The id should be something like /home/xxx/vite-project/src/lib/VirtualList.svelte?svelte&type=style&lang.css instead of src/lib/VirtualList.svelte?svelte&type=style&lang.css

[dominikg]

Hmm, if this worked before i suspect it happened when code to read root moved from configResolved to config hook.

going to take a closer look now.

Please note that gitlab.com seems to require users to sign in prior to being able to visit/clone https://gitlab.com/winterkind/vite-project/ a reproduction accessible on github (or without requiring an additional login) would be preferred.

ids should be rooted to vite root, so src/lib/VirtualList.svelte?svelte&type=style&lang.css is missing the leading /

[winterkind]

Apologies for the enforced GitLab registration. The project was set to private. I changed that now - a bit too late...

[dominikg]

This is indeed caused by the unresolved root. Fix coming soon, as a workaround you can do

import {normalizePath} from 'vite';
import path from 'path';
...
config: {
...
  root: normalizePath(path.resolve('./'))
}
