vite Build fails when Web Worker dynamically imports module also dynamically imported by the main thread

Describe the bug

I have created a Web Worker with type: module that dynamically imports a module shared with the main thread. In dev mode this works as expected, but when building I get (full logs below)

rendering chunks (2)...The emitted file "assets/logger.c9021ab8.js" overwrites a previously emitted file of the same name.
[vite:build-import-analysis] Cannot read property 'importedCss' of undefined

Reproduction

git clone https://github.com/esturcke/web-worker-dynamic-import-error
cd web-worker-dynamic-import-error
yarn && yarn build

For a workaround, add a module that re-exports everything from logger.ts and use it instead in worker.

// logger2.ts
export * from './logger'

// worker.ts
onmessage = e => {
    import("./logger2").then(({ log }: any) => log(`worker: ${e.data}`)) // use logger2
}

export {}

Thanks @sapphi-red, this looks like a nice workaround for direct imports. Unfortunately I ran into this while porting a project from Webpack to Vite and there are multiple dynamic imports brought in indirectly several levels deep. I'm not sure how feasible it will be to fork the entire call chain.

Update: I was able to get it to work with the workaround. Thanks!

Also struggling with this. In my case I'm not sure how to apply the workaround. My worker is a tiny wrapper around a class.

// Worker.ts
import { MyClass } from './MyClass'
import { expose } from 'comlink'
expose(MyClass)

MyClass is sometimes used within a worker, sometimes directly, depending on some settings.

Inside MyClass I make a dynamic import to a JS module, and since that is an implementation detail of MyClass, and not something I do directly in the worker, I'm not sure how to apply the workaround.

@esturcke It sounds similar to your case. Could you shed any light on your approach?

Interestingly, when using worker that requires the vite react plugin both the main app & the worker i don't get any of these errors and just see that all the dependencies have been bundled twice. Once for the use inside the worker and once in the main thread. This is the same result when using the workaround of reexporting the module suggested by @sapphi-red.

Even though this works, it increases the bundle size considerably in my case because both react and a large lib i.e. @react-pdf/renderer is getting bundled twice.
