When i tried fresh installation in my Nuxt3 apps, they are using Vite v5.4.11 the Cypress works fine. That's why I tried this version also in my project, but it didn't help.

Also I dont know if it's relevant, but in my project the installation of cypress takes signifcantly more time than in nuxt projects.

Could you suggest what am I doing wrong? Thank you very much for any help

Hi @MartinLednarLedo. Thank you for opening an issue. I have created a repository with a basic reproduction but I am unable to reproduce. Are you able to help me fill in the blanks?
