WebWorkers problem in Angular related to Vite `optimizeDeps`

Clone bản reproduction được liên kết của cornerstonejs/angular-cornerstone3d và chạy npm i, sau đó là npm run start; so sánh thiết lập Angular của bản này với các ví dụ Vite đang hoạt động. Điều tra cách Angular CLI xử lý Vite optimizeDeps, bộ nhớ đệm và module worker, sau đó xác minh rằng cảnh báo đã được giải quyết, worker sử dụng đúng đường dẫn và npm run build chạy thành công.

Command

serve

Is this a regression?

• Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

Description

We have a library that utilizes web workers. It employs the new Worker interface:

const instance = new Worker(
    new URL('./decodeImageFrameWorker.js', import.meta.url),
    { type: 'module' }
);

We have successfully consumed the lib in various scenarios, whether based on Webpack or Vite. See the examples below:

• https://github.com/cornerstonejs/vite-react-cornerstone3d
• https://github.com/cornerstonejs/vue-cornerstone3d
• https://github.com/cornerstonejs/nextjs-cornerstone3d

When integrating into a Vite-based framework, a warning appears regarding one of the dependencies. This is a known issue in Vite, specifically with esbuild. To resolve this, we should add the library to optimizeDeps in the Vite config - recommended by vite maintainers, which works well.

I attempted to integrate a poc of the same library in Angular and encountered a similar warning. I tried customizing Vite but faced a limitation, as there is no way to override optimizeDeps in Angular, as noted here.

In some threads, I see that setting

"cli": {
    "cache": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }

removes the warning above, but then the worker is requested from an incorrect path.

I also have tried the following

"development": {
        "buildTarget": "angular-vite-6:build:development",
        "prebundle": false
}

still no success

Minimal Reproduction

This is basically minimal repo for reproduction

• https://github.com/cornerstonejs/angular-cornerstone3d

commands to run

npm i 

npm run start

Exception or Error

With the cache enabled, the Vite warning appears, and disabling the cache loads the worker from the wrong path.

Your Environment

Angular CLI: 19.0.2
Node: 18.19.1
Package Manager: npm 10.2.4
OS: darwin arm64

Angular: 19.0.1
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic, router

zone.js                         0.15.0

Anything else relevant?

I want to emphasize that other Vite-based implementations for Vue, React, and Quasar work, so it's only Angular that's not working.

In addition, the npm run build also does not work and tries to load the worker from a wrong path (Again the build with vite, and webpack works)
