Vitest 4.x internal typescript error with Vite <=7.1.0 #9055
Description
Describe the bug
Vitest 4.x lists "vite": "^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0" as a dependency, but if you use any version of vite before v7.1.0, TypeScript errors with:
node_modules/vitest/dist/chunks/moduleRunner.d.BxT-OjLR.d.ts:174:74 - error TS2339: Property 'createImportMeta' does not exist on type 'ModuleRunnerOptions'.
174 type CreateImportMeta = NonNullable<viteModuleRunner.ModuleRunnerOptions["createImportMeta"]>;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that this only happens if the vitest.config.ts file is included in the TypeScript context.
