Problem

bun run desktop never opens a window on a fresh clone. Vite's dep optimizer dies during beforeDevCommand, taking the whole desktop shell with it:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open
'.../frontend/node_modules/@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog/dist-js/index.js'
    at extractExportsData (vite/dist/node/chunks/node.js:32594:26)
    at async prepareRolldownOptimizerRun (...)

Cause

The alias in frontend/vite.config.js hardcodes the nested layout:

'@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog': path.resolve(
  __dirname,
  'node_modules/@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog/dist-js/index.js',
),

This is a bun workspace ("workspaces": ["frontend"]). bun hoists the package to the workspace root, so after bun install the real file is at node_modules/@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog/dist-js/index.js and frontend/node_modules/ is empty:

$ ls frontend/node_modules | wc -l
0
$ ls node_modules/@tauri-apps/
api  cli  cli-darwin-arm64  plugin-dialog  plugin-opener  plugin-process  plugin-updater  plugin-window-state

Vite reads the aliased path directly, so a path that does not exist is a hard crash rather than a fallback.

Fix

Probe both layouts, and omit the alias entirely when neither exists so Vite falls back to its own resolution (the package declares exports.importdist-js/index.js, which resolves correctly on its own) instead of crashing the optimizer.

Verification

macOS 26.6 (Apple Silicon), bun 1.2.22, clean clone of main:

  • Before: desktop shell exits 1, no window.
  • After: window opens, backend serves on :3900, GET /engines and GET /sysinfo respond.
  • bun run test:frontend — 80 passed.
  • bunx vite build — succeeds (the alias is exercised in the production build too).

Untouched: everything else in the config, including the @src alias.

The Vite configuration now checks nested and workspace-root node_modules paths for @tauri-apps/plugin-dialog, then uses native Vite resolution if neither path exists. This fixes bun run desktop on fresh clones when Bun hoists the package. The change has low risk; frontend tests and the Vite build passed.

Greptile Summary

Resolves the Tauri dialog plugin from nested or workspace-hoisted dependencies, while falling back to Vite’s native package resolution when neither candidate exists.

  • Adds focused coverage for nested, hoisted, ambiguous, and missing dependency layouts.
  • Verifies that the Vite alias is conditionally included without affecting the source alias.
  • Documents the fresh-clone desktop startup fix in the changelog.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
frontend/resolveDialogEsm.mjs Selects the first existing dialog-plugin ESM entry from nested and workspace-hoisted layouts.
frontend/vite.config.js Conditionally applies the resolved dialog-plugin alias and otherwise preserves native Vite resolution.
frontend/src/test/dialogAliasConfig.test.js Verifies conditional alias construction and preservation of the source alias.
tests/frontend/dialog-resolution.test.mjs Covers nested, hoisted, dual-installation, and missing-package resolution behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Vite configuration now resolves the dialog plugin from nested or workspace-hoisted dependencies through a shared resolver. It applies the alias only when a valid entry exists, tests four dependency layouts, and documents the fresh-clone fix in the changelog.

Changes

Dialog plugin resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dialog plugin path resolver
frontend/resolveDialogEsm.mjs, tests/frontend/dialog-resolution.test.mjs
The resolver checks nested and hoisted plugin paths. Tests cover nested, hoisted, both, and missing layouts.
Conditional dialog plugin alias
frontend/vite.config.js, CHANGELOG.md
Vite uses the resolved path when it exists and otherwise uses Vite resolution. The changelog records the fresh-clone fix and related highlights.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b1194

The change restores desktop startup when Bun hoists the dialog plugin, but the Vite alias behavior itself lacks a regression test. This is a bounded maintenance risk and should be covered before merge.

Comment thread CHANGELOG.md Outdated
`bun run desktop` dies before the window opens on a fresh clone:

    Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open
    '.../frontend/node_modules/@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog/dist-js/index.js'

The alias hardcoded `frontend/node_modules/...`, but this is a bun
workspace: bun hoists the package to the workspace root and leaves
`frontend/node_modules` empty, so the path the alias names does not
exist. Vite's dep optimizer reads it directly and throws, taking
`beforeDevCommand` — and the whole desktop shell — down with it.

Probe both layouts and fall through to Vite's own resolution when
neither is present, so a missing package degrades to normal resolution
instead of crashing the dev server.

Verified on macOS 26.6 (Apple Silicon), bun 1.2.22, fresh clone: the
window now opens and the backend serves.

Add a regression test for the conditional alias.

tests/frontend/dialog-resolution.test.mjs exercises resolveDialogEsm, but no test executes the changed frontend/vite.config.js alias construction, so a broken import, condition, or spread can pass all four layout tests. Add a fail-before/pass-after test for the Vite consumer and harden the test seam against future wiring regressions. As per coding guidelines, changed JavaScript paths require a fail-before/pass-after regression test and recurrence hardening.
