What version of Vitest are you using?

[armbzk]

• vscode vitest extension v1.8.1
• vitest 2.1.7

[Skrypt]

I'm getting the same issue but it happens only when trying to debug a Vitest unit test in VS Code.
Running "npx vitest" works though.

using:

Vitest 2.1.8
VS Code Vitest extension v1.8.1
Node: 22.11

[Skrypt]

I reverted to
Vitest 2.0.0 and now it works.

[Skrypt]

Starts failing at 2.1.4

[Dykam]

Same as what Skrypt is experiencing.

Debugging in:
Vitest 2.1.3 works
Vitest 2.1.4 fails
Vitest 3.0.2 fails

VS Code Vitest extension 1.10.2
Node: 18.20.2

Personally I had no need to update to vitest 3 for other reasons, so I simply reverted. But this might become a problem in the future.

[tsirlucas]

Same issue with vitest 3. one thing i noticed is that if i dont import

import { describe, it } from 'vitest'

it shows the test cases correctly. but if i import it, i get the following error in output

EDIT: NVM the error log I had was unrelated.

EDIT 2: I managed to run the repo and updating vitest version to v3 makes it reproducible.

Main issues comes from getName function. It is now receiving callee as an SequenceExpression, which is not handled in there.

vscode/src/worker/collect.ts

Line 79 in a466c6b

const getName = (callee: any): string | null => {

Addin the following fixes the issue:

if (callee.type === 'SequenceExpression') {
      const memberExpression = callee.expressions.find((e) => e.type === 'MemberExpression')
      if (!memberExpression) {
        return null
      }
      return getName(memberExpression)
    }

But I dont have enough knowledge in ASTs to know how safe this is

[tsirlucas]

Correcting myself on previous comment: the problem seems to only happen if youre using vite 6

code sent to AST using vite 6:

const __vite_ssr_import_0__ = await __vite_ssr_import__("/node_modules/vitest/dist/index.js", {"importedNames":["describe","it"]});
(0,__vite_ssr_import_0__.describe)("should included", () => {
  (0,__vite_ssr_import_0__.it)("is included because of workspace plugin setting", () => {
  });
});

while in v5:

const __vite_ssr_import_0__ = await __vite_ssr_import__("/node_modules/vitest/dist/index.js", {"importedNames":["describe","it"]});

__vite_ssr_import_0__.describe("should included", () => {
  __vite_ssr_import_0__.it("is included because of workspace plugin setting", () => {
  });
});

Looks like (0,__vite_ssr_import_0__.describe) is parsed as the sequence... I wonder if its safe to assume we will always have a memberExpression as 2nd item. or at least inside the array. Id say its probably safe for us to just do the .find but AST's are new to me

[gkn06]

I can't debug tests. Facing this same issue. Any workaround on this ?

[huchenlei]

Same problem here. Click the debug button reports this error while normal test execution is fine. Our project is using vite5.4.14
