Same issue here, with following log:
Update:
About VSCode:
I tested various versions and it seems that the version introducing this error is 1.26.4.
Note that before version 1.26.4, and at least from 1.12.1, another error prevents the extension to start:

Hi! I had the same problem and found a temporary workaround.
In vitest.config.ts:
By default, the
rootproperty indefineConfigis set toprocess.cwd(). Even thoughprocess.cwd()andimport.meta.dirnameseem to resolve to the same path at runtime in my environment, settingrootto the latter solved the issue for me.Hope this helps!
