Describe the bug

Everything was working fine until chrome released 130 and caused chaos with CSP. However I have upgraded the CRXJS package to "@crxjs/vite-plugin": "^2.0.0-beta.26" which have a fix for it. When I am starting the vite dev server, I am getting this error:

failed to load config from XX\vite.config.ts
Error when starting dev server:
TypeError: (0 , import_vite_plugin.crx) is not a functions

Any advise or workaround? I need to ship it ASAP as my extension is not working on production for many users.

Reproduction

Install ver 2.0.0-beta.26 and npm run dev.

Logs

No response

System Info

@twicer-is-coder This looks like an import error in your config file, but it's hard to tell without more background.

1. Can you provide your config file as a minimum repro?
2. What was your last CRXJS version?

[promethyttrium]

add "type": "module" to your package.json

[abdullah-tsx]

was facing the same issue.
fixed it by updating following
"@crxjs/vite-plugin": "^2.0.0-beta.28"
"vite": "5.4.6"

None of these solutions make a difference. crxjs seems unusable at this time.

The CJS build of Vite's Node API is deprecated. See https://vite.dev/guide/troubleshooting.html#vite-cjs-node-api-deprecated for more details.

How did you resolve this? @Nantris

[Nantris]

I didn't. I moved to WXT.

[rahulbansal16]

I don't have bandwidth to change the framework for my project. My project is running on Keep The Light Mode on.

[Nantris]

Ah yeah, sorry - I had just started out. There's no version you can roll back to and removing node_modules doesn't work I guess?

[rahulbansal16]

There are changes in the chrome browser which requires new changes #928 It started happening after I downloaded the new version.

[ayalpani]

Can confirm. Same error, same versions

"@crxjs/vite-plugin": "^2.0.0-beta.28",
"vite": "^5.4.6"

@rahulbansal16 Did you find a solution?

Hi @jacksteamdev !

Thanks for this amazing library, I have been using it successfully for a year now. Unfortunately now I am stuck and can not do any new releases. Can you give me a quick hint: will this be resolved any time soon?
