Vite build fails with esbuild error

Describe the bug

I just invested for the redesign of my own project HowCanI with replacing Tailwind with the ready to use MaterialUI library Svelte Materialify. After I’m done with it I wanted finally run vite build and it fails with an follwing esbuild-error:

Is there any way, to find out, what exactly the issue is and what I could do to fix it?

How to reproduce:

• https://github.com/janbaer/howcani.git
• git checkout feature/css-redesign
• yarn install
• yarn build or npx vite build

It would be great to get some hints, how to solve the issue. On the master branch the build is still working fine. Also Vite is running in my feature branch in the dev mode without any issues.

Thanks in advance!

Reproduction

• git clone https://github.com/janbaer/howcani.git` - git checkout feature/css-redesign - yarn install - yarn build or npx vite build

It’s working in the meantime fine for me, after updating from vite 2.7 to 2.8. Sorry that I forgot to close the issue

I found a workaround for my build problem. When I deactivate the minification in the build options, the build finishes without any error. But of course the asset folder is now more than 1 MB.

So the issue comes clearly from the code minifaction with esbuild. But what exactly causes the issue, I don’t know.
