Reproduction

I am unable to provide a reproduction for 2 main reasons:

1. This is part of a production app, and I am willing to share it happening in real time privately
2. It's inconsistent, as on Windows it fails completely and on Ubuntu it fails to run the e2e tests, so I can't even confirm it locally with a different configuration (I can provide the error it provides on Windows which causes it to abort even the initial test screen)

I can, however, provide the overall configuration and a sample of the tests: nuxt.config.ts modules:

modules: ["@nuxt/content","@nuxt/ui", "@pinia/nuxt", "@nuxt/image", '@nuxt/test-utils/module', "@nuxtjs/i18n", "@nuxtjs/seo",
		"@nuxtjs/turnstile", "nuxt-security", "@nuxt/scripts", "@nuxt/fonts"],

vitest.config.mts:

import { defineVitestConfig } from '@nuxt/test-utils/config'
export default defineVitestConfig({
	test:{
		environment:'nuxt',
		hookTimeout:50000
	}
})

Sample of test/e2e/e2e.nuxt.test.ts:

import { expect, describe, it } from "vitest"
import {setup, $fetch, fetch, createPage} from "@nuxt/test-utils/e2e"
describe("app", async () => {
	await setup({
		server:true,
		runner: 'vitest',
		build:true,
		setupTimeout:300000
	}
	)
       describe("images", async () => {
		it("should return correct data for existent images", async () => {
			const {body, status, headers} = await fetch('/images/image.webp')
			expect(status).toBe(200)
			expect(headers.get("Content-Type")).toBe("image/webp")
		})
		it("should return 404 for non-existent images", async () => {
			const {body, status} = await fetch('/images/nonExistent.jpg')
			expect(status).toBe(404)
		})
	})
})

Describe the bug

The cucumber test runner appears to execute the tests despite runner option of the setup of e2e to 'vitest' (or trying to use the default). Maybe because of this and maybe because of a different, unseen cause, it simply breaks all e2e tests with the error I provided in the Logs section.

I believe this is part of a bigger issue which I have not unearthed yet that could also explain the respective failures on both environments

Additional context

Attempting to upgrade/reinstall the project's deps does not appear to help. Unit tests are not affected by it, it affects only those that depend on the setup from the e2e section.
