    "title": "DEPRECATED The workspace file is deprecated — Vitest 4 removed vitest.workspace / test.workspace; use test.projects",
    "error": "The workspace file is deprecated and will be removed in the next major.",
    "body": "## Symptom\nVitest 3.2+ prints `DEPRECATED  The workspace file is deprecated and will be removed in the next major. Please, use the projects field in /path/to/vite.config.js instead.` On Vitest 4 the `vitest.workspace.ts` file and the `test.workspace` option are gone, so the projects defined there no longer run. Older generators and many tutorials still create `vitest.workspace.ts` with `defineWorkspace([...])`.\n\n## Cause\nVitest 3.2 (2025-06-02) renamed `workspace` to `projects` and deprecated the separate workspace file. Part of the reason is that \"workspace\" clashes with pnpm workspaces. Vitest 4.0 (2025-10-22) removed `workspace`. `projects` works the same way, except that it must be declared inline in the root config. It cannot point to another file that exports an array.\n\n## Fix\nMove the array into the root config and delete the workspace file:\n```ts\n// before: vitest.workspace.ts\nimport { defineWorkspace } from 'vitest/config'\nexport default defineWorkspace(['./packages/*', { test: { name: 'unit' } }])\n\n// after: vitest.config.ts\nimport { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'\nexport default defineConfig({\n  test: {\n    projects: ['./packages/*', { test: { name: 'unit' } }],\n  },\n})\n```\nAlso replace the removed `poolMatchGlobs` / `environmentMatchGlobs` with separate `projects` entries.\n\n## Verify\n`npx vitest run` no longer prints the DEPRECATED line, and the summary lists every project name.\n\n## Sources\n- https://v4.vitest.dev/guide/migration\n- https://vitest.dev/blog/vitest-3-2.html\n- https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/issues/31689",
