SyntaxError: The requested module 'vite' does not provide an export named 'splitVendorChunk' — removed in Vite 7
SyntaxError: The requested module 'vite' does not provide an export named 'splitVendorChunk'
If your config uses it, delete the plugin and chunk manually.
Before:
import { defineConfig, splitVendorChunkPlugin } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({ plugins: [splitVendorChunkPlugin()] })
After (Vite 7, Rollup):
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({
build: { rollupOptions: { output: {
manualChunks: (id) => (id.includes('node_modules') ? 'vendor' : undefined),
} } },
})
After (Vite 8, Rolldown; function-form manualChunks is deprecated there):
export default defineConfig({
build: { rolldownOptions: { output: {
codeSplitting: { groups: [{ test: /node_modules/, name: 'vendor' }] },
} } },
})
If a dependency imports it (check the stack-trace path): upgrade that tool to a Vite-7-compatible major (electron-vite v4+ supports Vite 7) or keep Vite at the version the tool supports; remove any overrides/resolutions that force a newer Vite. npm ls vite shows who pulls which version.
Symptom
After upgrading to Vite 7, loading the config fails:
failed to load config from .../electron.vite.config.ts
SyntaxError: The requested module 'vite' does not provide an export named 'splitVendorChunk'
(or ... named 'splitVendorChunkPlugin'). It comes either from your own vite.config (import { splitVendorChunkPlugin } from 'vite') or from a wrapper that re-exports it, e.g. electron-vite 3.x dist/index.mjs.
Cause
splitVendorChunkPlugin was deprecated in Vite 5.2.7 and removed in Vite 7.0 (released 2025-06-24) along with other deprecated features. Wrappers built for Vite 5/6 still import it.
Verify
vite build loads the config and emits a separate vendor chunk in dist/assets.
