forceRerunTriggers #

• Type: string[]
• Default: ['**/package.json', '**/vitest.config.*', '**/vite.config.*']

Glob pattern of file paths that will trigger the whole suite rerun. When paired with the --changed argument will run the whole test suite if the trigger is found in the git diff.

Useful if you are testing calling CLI commands, because Vite cannot construct a module graph:

test('execute a script', async () => {
  // Vitest cannot rerun this test, if content of `dist/index.js` changes
  await execa('node', ['dist/index.js'])
})

::: tip Make sure that your files are not excluded by server.watch.ignored. :::
