Just booted up my windows machine and I can confirm that it works now, even when downgrading to Node 12.

[bjarkihall]

kolorist assumes env variable is already defined before essentially doing undefined.endswith.

It had this commited and released 3 hours ago (as 1.3.0 and create-app has dependency on “^1.2.9”): https://github.com/marvinhagemeister/kolorist/commit/ec85371ce6b1695db28d505210b1c3ae00d30c0a#diff-a2a171449d862fe29692ce031981047d7ab755ae7f84c707aef80701b3ea0c80

Which causes a runtime error when the module is required. It can be resolved by pinning a stable version of kolorist in @vite/create-app (to prevent kolorist from being able to break vite installs again) and/or by submitting a PR with a fix for 1.3.1 to kolorist.

edit: I just prepared a PR.
