Extremely slow config resolution (55s+) on macOS

Describe the bug

I started using Vitest (and Vite) for the first time this morning, and I’m running into the issue that the config resolution seems to be extremely slow. After Vite has booted up, recompilation is fast.

The debug output shows that the config lookup is fast, but then it takes 55 seconds to resolve the config.

I don’t encounter the issue when running Vite in a Docker container.

Reproduction

1. npm create vite@latest 2. npm install 3. npm run dev – --debug

Sorry, I forgot to mention before, but /Users/timon.vanspronsen/package.json did indeed have a workspaces field. /Users/timon.vanspronsen/Code/Timon/vite-test/package.json does exist.

Would you run Vite by node --inspect-brk node_modules/vite/bin/vite.js and record profile with the debugger and save/upload the profile json?
