Cannot find package $app

[MichaelBrunn3r]

Fresh install with these commands:

npm init @svelteness/kit-docs docs
> Skeleton project
> Typescript
> eslint
cd docs
pnpm i
pnpm dev

Yields this error:

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '$app' imported from ...\node_modules\.pnpm\@svelteness+kit-docs@0.23.0_svelte@3.49.0\node_modules\@svelteness\kit-docs\client\polyfills\focus-visible.js

The culprit:

// @svelteness/kit-docs/client/polyfills/focus-visible.js
import { browser } from '$app/env';

$app would lead me to believe this is a missing alias?

@MichaelBrunn3r same error for me 😐

@MichaelBrunn3r I think that this bug come from sveltejs/kit#5005, the SvelteKit upgrade from Vite 2 to 3.

In short term, I propose to pin Vite version here (see also this comment).

Can be fixed by #56

Should be resolved now on latest.
