Failed to resolve import. Does the file exist? since 5.1.0-beta.4 (5.1.0-beta.3 was fine)

[jrmyio]

Describe the bug

Since 5.1.0-beta.4 I get Failed to resolve import. Does the file exist? on a new folder/file even though they exist.

You can replicate the issue by coping a folder that is part of a import.meta.glob. However, I think I have ran into this issue multiple times without using import.meta.glob.

Note: In <= 5.1.0-beta.3 the issue was not present.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-m9sunu?file=package.json&terminal=dev

Steps to reproduce

To reproduce. Open a terminal in stackblitz copy the Test folder:
cp src/Test src/Test2 -r

When you create these folders and files by hand it seems fine.

5.1.0-beta.4 (here things break)
https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-m9sunu?file=package.json&terminal=dev

5.1.0-beta.3 (here things work fine)
https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-qzv2h4?file=src%2FApp.tsx&terminal=dev

System Info

I guess it may be related to the path cache. Try adding the following configuration.

server: {
  fs: {
    cachedChecks: false
  }
}

[jrmyio]

server: {
  fs: {
    cachedChecks: false
  }
}

That indeed seems related. Adding that in 5.1.0-beta.4 seems like the error doesn't occur.

[jurijsk]

had the same issue with vite 5.1.3 when adding resolve.alias . @XiSenao's suggestion to add cachedChecks: false worked for me.

[febkosq8]

Have the same issue in vite@5.1.4, randomly imports using alias keep failing.
Adding the cachedChecks: false fixed the issue for now
