vite preview does not start server

[Stadly]

Describe the bug

When I run npx vite build && npx vite preview, the server is not started. It seems like npx vite preview just exists, without any output.

I have created as small a reproduction as I could manage. It is quite strange, since it involves dynamic import, an environment variable, setting a property on global, JSON.stringify, an if statement, and more. If I remove any of the elements, npx vite preview starts working again 🤔

But my use case involves all those things, so it would be great if it could be fixed :)

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce

Run npx vite build followed by npx vite preview

• Check that there isn't already an issue that reports the same bug to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Make sure this is a Vite issue and not a framework-specific issue. For example, if it's a Vue SFC related bug, it should likely be reported to vuejs/core instead.
• Check that this is a concrete bug. For Q&A open a GitHub Discussion or join our Discord Chat Server.
• The provided reproduction is a minimal reproducible example of the bug.

On mobile at the moment so couldn't test it out, but the issue might be this: rollup/rollup#4708

[bluwy]

Seems like this is an upstream issue and not much can be done in Vite. I'll close this in favour of rollup/rollup#4708

[Stadly]

Actually, I think it is an issue with SvelteKit's adapter-node: sveltejs/kit#11763
