Vite
Vite failed because code requires non-strict mode
[ERROR] With statements cannot be used with the "esm" output format due to strict mode
Vite encountered code that only works in sloppy mode, but Vite uses ESM and strict mode, so the code cannot be transformed safely.
Observed message
[ERROR] With statements cannot be used with the "esm" output format due to strict mode
Why it happens
- Application or dependency code relies on non-strict JavaScript behavior.
- A dependency uses `with` statements or similar patterns that are incompatible with ESM strict mode.
- Legacy code is being bundled through Vite without modernization.
How to fix it
- Remove or rewrite non-strict mode patterns in your own code.
- Patch or replace dependencies that rely on sloppy-mode-only behavior.
- Keep legacy code out of the Vite client pipeline if it cannot be modernized.
