`defineConfig` from `vite-plus` rejects any plugin typed against the real `vite` package with TS2321

[filipfalcon]

Describe the bug

vite-plus aliases "vite": "npm:@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-core@0.2.6", so its defineConfig is typed against that package's UserConfig/Plugin, while apps and plugin packages (@tailwindcss/vite peers on ^5 || ^6 || ^7 || ^8) type against vite itself. Comparing the two structurally identical Plugin types overflows the checker's depth limit.

Consequence: no vite.config.ts in a Vite+ project can be type-checked, despite vp lint running typeCheck — configs have to go in ignorePatterns.

Thanks for the report. I'll look into.

[jong-kyung]

Oh, I checked the reproduction you provided. This isn't a supported vite-plus setup. Could you run vp migrate and let me know if the issue still occurs after that?

vp migrate adds an override like:

"overrides": {
  "vite": "npm:@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-core@0.2.6"
}

Confirmed — that was it, thanks.
