I can't reproduce this issue using my Windows and your repo with vite. The error message seems to say the command esbuild --version returns an empty string. Can you test that in your node_modules manually?

> node node_modules\esbuild\bin\esbuild --version
0.21.5

:: if node_modules\esbuild\bin\esbuild is an exe, you can run it without node
> node_modules\esbuild\bin\esbuild --version

For your reference, here's what I did to migrate your project to vite in a second:

> npm pkg set type=module
> npm i -D vite @vitejs/plugin-react autoprefixer

Write a vite.config.js with contents below:

import {defineConfig} from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()]
})

Start the server:

> npx vite

I'm closing this issue because it doesn't provide sufficient reproduction instructions.
