ReferenceError: exports is not defined in ES module scope

Reproduce the failure in a Bun workspace using the provided vitest.config.ts, package.json, and tsconfig settings. Start with the generated .vite-temp/vitest.config.js and the Vite loadConfigFromBundledFile path shown in the stack trace; done means the VS Code extension loads the tests without the ES module ReferenceError.

Describe the bug

Vitest vscode extension gives this error when it loads the tests in a workspace. I have set up all my package types to module, so it should not error about this.
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ReferenceError: exports is not defined in ES module scope

Expected behavior

It should not error for exports usage. I am not using commonjs

Reproduction

Open Vitest in a bun workspace and add configurations via vitest.config.ts for one of the packages.

import solid from "vite-plugin-solid";
import { defineConfig } from "vitest/config";

export default defineConfig({
	plugins: [solid()],
	resolve: {
		conditions: ["development", "browser"],
	},
	test: {
		environment: "happy-dom",
		globals: true,
		include: ["src/**/__tests__/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}"],
	},
});

My vite version is 7.3.1

Here's package.json:

{
	"name": "test-workspace",
	"private": true,
	"main": "src/index.ts",
	"type": "module",
	"dependencies": {
		"solid-js": "^1.9.11"
	},
	"devDependencies": {
		"@solidjs/testing-library": "^0.8.10",
		"@testing-library/user-event": "^14.6.1",
		"@testing-library/dom": "^10.4.1",
		"@testing-library/jest-dom": "^6.9.1",
		"happy-dom": "^20.7.0",
		"vite": "^7.3.1",
		"vite-plugin-solid": "^2.11.10",
		"vitest": "^4.0.18"
	}
}

and tsconfig (merged from extends for easier understanding

{
	"extends": "./node_modules/@tsconfig/bases/strictest.tsconfig.json",
	"compilerOptions": {
		"strictBuiltinIteratorReturn": false,
		"strictPropertyInitialization": false,

}
