Description

Astro Info

Astro                    v5.7.13
Node                     v24.12.0
System                   Windows (x64)
Package Manager          pnpm
Output                   server
Adapter                  @astrojs/node
Integrations             @astrojs/react

Even latest version of Astro has this issue.

If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

This started about 3-4 days ago and I've been troubleshooting it for days with no clear errors. Only happens with running astro in dev mode.

[ERROR] transport invoke timed out after 60000ms (data: {"type":"custom","event":"vite:invoke","data":{"name":"fetchModule"...}})

Reproduction

Having timeout/slow loads issues :

pnpm dev in WSL2 terminal, project on Windows filesystem

and

pnpm dev in WSL2 terminal, project on WSL filesystem (loads but has hydration / css / html issues)

and

pnpm dev in Docker (Both WSL and Windows filesystem)

What's the expected result?

Normally pnpm dev would work in docker. Also I would expect pnpm dev in WSL2 terminal, project on WSL filesystem to work as well.

Research direction
Investigate the cause of 'transport invoke timed out' errors in Astro dev mode. This seems related to Vite's fetchModule mechanism (see error JSON). Check if the issue is caused by port binding or network delays in Docker/WSL environments. Look into Astro's server adapter (@astrojs/node) and how it communicates with Vite's HTTP transport. Review recent changes in Astro v5.7.13 or Node v24.12.0 that might have introduced this behavior. The comments might contain additional reproduction details.
