TS config paths are not correctly resolved when using @nx/vite:test executor

[getlarge]

Current Behavior

I have been migrating a project from Nx 17.1 to 17.3.2 to integrate the nx release flow. When running the generated migration, it bumped the vite and vitest dependencies, which triggered some unexpected issues.

In a nutshell, here's what we found with @BioPhoton :

• When using custom vite configuration file path(s), vitest fails to resolve the TS config paths when run through the @nx/vite:test executor.
• When running the tests under the given project's folder with vitest (npx vitest --config=<custom-config-file>), they are running.
• When overriding the CWD in vitest executor implementation, TS config paths are resolved correctly.

With this patch (in node_modules/@nx/vite/src/executors/test/vitest.impl.js), i suspect that we are forcing vitest to resolve the config file by itself, probably ignoring the other resolvedOptions

// ...
+    resolvedOptions.root = '.';
+    resolvedOptions.config = _path.basename(resolvedOptions.configFile);
+    process.chdir(_path.join(process.cwd(), projectRoot));
    const ctx = await startVitest((_resolvedOptions_mode = resolvedOptions['mode']) != null ? _resolvedOptions_mode : 'test', cliFilters, resolvedOptions);
// ...

Expected Behavior

I expect the custom Vitest config file to be supported since there is an option (config) supported by the executor to declare the configuration file path.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I want to assure you that I will take a look as soon as I can. Your patience and understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated.

@Coly010 is there any rough estimate? I know is too much to ask, but just wondering. We wanted update Nx to fix issue with Vitest generator of missing path and now we hit this problem after update 🙈 We really want to move away from Jest, because it blocks us from using ESM :(

[getlarge]

Hi @huv1k, I don't know exactly what blocks you from using ESM with Jest, but I got this setup running in several ESM-based Nx workspace. One of them is open-source, feel free to have a look and send your questions.

Any updates on this issue? We are facing this issue for any nx version past 17

Sorry for the wait everyone, fix is in PR
