Research direction

Start by reproducing the certificate error with the shown vite.config.ts and the npm run dev -- --https command, focusing on the basic SSL plugin and ServiceWorker registration at the reported scope. Done means the development server's certificate is accepted by the browser and the ServiceWorker script registers without the SSL error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I get this error :

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope ('https://127.0.0.1:5173/src/') with script ('https://127.0.0.1:5173/src/sw.ts'): An SSL certificate error occurred when fetching the script.

And this is my vite.config.ts file :
`
import { fileURLToPath, URL } from "node:url";

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import vue from "@vitejs/plugin-vue";
import basicSsl from '@vitejs/plugin-basic-ssl'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
vue(),
basicSsl()
],
resolve: {
alias: {
"@": fileURLToPath(new URL("./src", import.meta.url)),
},
},
server: {
https: true
},
});
`

Also, I have vue 3.2.45 and vite 3.2.4.
And I launch the dev server with the command
npm run dev -- --https
