Describe the bug

globalThis.__vitest_broser_runner__ is not accessible within the scope of web workers, so vite's dynamic import wrapping is breaking via:

Adding this hack to the top of the worker seems to fix the issue, but it's still a bug nonetheless:

Reproduction

I'm struggling to repro on StackBlitz due to browser mode incompatibilities on the web-based IDE.

Here's some links to my open source project where this applies:

• Repo
• worker file containing hacky fix - removing this one line causes the error to resurface when running tests.
  • Line with the dynamic import that throws the error
    

To reproduce, start a web worker that contains a dynamic import...

// main.ts
const worker = new Worker(new URL('./worker-file.js', import.meta.url), { type: 'module' })

// ...

// worker-file.js

const asset = await import('any-package-or-file')
