Electron runtime issue - [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "virtual:i18next-loader"

[grctest]

I'm getting this blocking error during build:

error during build:
Error: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "virtual:i18next-loader" from "filepath/src/localization/index.js".This is most likely unintended because it can break your application at runtime.
If you do want to externalize this module explicitly add it to
`build.rollupOptions.external`

I tried adding the following to my vite config without success:

build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      external: ['virtual:i18next-loader'],
    },
  }

Is there a configuration I'm missing for rollup to support vite virtual modules?

Thanks

I reviewed our archetype app and we do nothing with virtual:i18next-loader to make it work.

To me, it looks like this path actually doesn't exist where rollup (via vite) is looking for it, so you might have a path problem?

Despite the console error in the dev terminal, the virtual module functions as expected.

I've created a discussion in the Vite repo in case it's an issue to do with virtual modules during vite build

vitejs/vite#16142

I have been working on implementing electron context isolation & disabling render node integration for application security best practices & the error was not breaking the build process prior to these changes, so perhaps that's a factor too?
