Plugin doesn't respect tsconfig.json exclude files.

[jtillwickEA]

I have a simple react project and I want to prevent vite from transforming certain files from within my src directory. I have an exclude line in tsconfig.json and tsc ignores these files, but vite doesn't. It complains that it can't find modules imported in those files. I don't want those files transformed at all.

How do fix?

That's how bundler works, they try to resolve imports that are not type only. If your import is a runtime one, what would it mean to no transform it?
