Description

Currently __dirname/__filename cannot be declared at top level in config files since Vite injects those variables.
The code below is a common pattern but an error will happen.

import path from 'node:path'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

const __dirname = path.dirname(new URL(import.meta.url).pathname)

export default defineConfig({})

This PR makes it possible to declare those at top level.
esbuild's define only replaces top-level values (it's not a static replace) so this works.

refs #9147
