Unable to run tests with Vite dev server

I have a Vite dev server running on port 3000 with a functioning application. Running the e2e tests in a separate thread works fine. But together run by start-server-and-test it stucks after starting the Vite server.

• version 1.11.7
• platform MacOS
• expected behavior: Runs the tests after the dev server started.
• actual behavior: start-server-and-test hangs when Vite start the webserver. The server is up and running and the tests can be run in a separate terminal.

My package json setup:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "vite",
    "test:e2e:javascript": "start-server-and-test start http://localhost:3000 e2e:javascript",
    "e2e:javascript": "jest --config=jest.e2e.config.js e2e/javascript"
  }

Reproduction: In my https://github.com/blacksonic/vue-3-playground repository run: npm run test:e2e:javascript

Is it correct that this still needs to use http-get to work? It doesn’t seem to work otherwise for me using Vite 2.0.5 and start-server-and-test 1.12.0.

I would gladly add a mention in addition to webpack-dev-server in the README if that’s the case.

Well if this is so simple then it looks to be the Vue / Vite problem, no? They serve pages before they are ready I guess.
