How to fix [vite-node] Failed to load module?

[PavelDemyanenko]

Hi, upon testing react components i get this error message: Error: [vite-node] Failed to load 'module name'. What is the issue here and how to fix it?

Can be anything. You might misspelled it. You might not have it installed. The path might be wrong.

Those are tests which successfully ran with jest, but after i've added vitest and tried to run with it, it fails.

the issue is that i used absolute path for module importa from root dir, and vitest didn't understand this. i had to rename to relative paths in app.

in my case i had a path like src/folder/folder2 and vitest wont know the actual location of src, so in this case we should use an alias
to help vite resolve src . For example by adding

resolve: {
    alias: {
      src: path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"),
    },
  },

to our vitest.config.js
