vp dev with experimental.bundledDev fails on startup: Cannot find package 'rolldown' #3110
Description
Describe the bug
On 1.3.0, vp dev with experimental.bundledDev: true exits on startup with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND for rolldown.
vitejs/vite#23568 changed bundled dev to read the rolldown dev runtime from the installed rolldown package:
const ROLLDOWN_DEV_RUNTIME_ENTRY = "rolldown/experimental/runtime";
function rolldownDevRuntimeEntryPath() {
return fileURLToPath(import.meta.resolve(ROLLDOWN_DEV_RUNTIME_ENTRY));
}That works in Vite, which depends on rolldown. @voidzero-dev/vite-plus-core bundles rolldown under its own ./rolldown/* exports and has no rolldown dependency, so the bare specifier doesn't resolve. If another package in the project happens to install rolldown, the resolve succeeds but picks up that copy's runtime, which may not match the bundled rolldown.
This is like #2384: a path in the upstream bundled-dev code that the core build doesn't rewrite for the packaged layout.
The runtime is already in the package as ./rolldown/experimental/runtime (dist/rolldown/experimental-runtime.mjs, which has no imports of its own). Resolving that export instead fixes it. We're running this patch locally:
function rolldownDevRuntimeEntryPath() {
- return fileURLToPath(import.meta.resolve(ROLLDOWN_DEV_RUNTIME_ENTRY));
+ return fileURLToPath(import.meta.resolve("@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-core/rolldown/experimental/runtime"));
}ROLLDOWN_DEV_RUNTIME_ENTRY should keep its upstream value, because getHmrImplementation also uses it to find and rewrite the import in bundledDevClient.mjs. With the patch, vp dev starts, /@rolldown/experimental-runtime.mjs is served, and the client imports it.
A proper fix would probably rewrite the specifier in packages/core/build.ts alongside BUNDLED_DEV_CLIENT_ENTRY. The command_dev_bundled_dev snapshot from #2384 should catch it as long as no other package installs rolldown.
Reproduction
Any project on vite-plus@1.3.0 with experimental: { bundledDev: true } in vite.config.ts and no rolldown package installed. The command_dev_bundled_dev fixture from #2384 should show it.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a project with
vite-plus@1.3.0. - Set
experimental: { bundledDev: true }invite.config.ts. - Run
vp dev.

Thank you for the feedback. I will fix it soon.
fix(core): resolve bundled dev runtime from core (voidzero-dev#3111)
