vite run using v0.22.1 gives "Cannot use 'import.meta' outside a module"

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Hi, When compiling the vite project after updating to v0.22.1 (v0.22.0 works fine), I am getting the following error:

SyntaxError: Cannot use 'import.meta' outside a module
    at wrapSafe (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1001:16)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1049:27)

    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\...\unplugin-vue-components\dist\vite.js:3:24)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1085:14)

The Vite version is: 3.0.4. Let me know if I can provide anything else to help debug.

No need to downgrade, you can temporarily add "type": "module" to package.json to fix the problem
