In getodk/central-frontend#671, we started using Vite for the build. However, we still use Vue CLI (webpack) together with Karma for testing. I'm still working through some questions related to Vitest, so I'm filing a separate issue about moving from Karma to Vitest. As part of this issue, we'll be able to remove Vue CLI from the codebase entirely.
Benefits of moving to Vitest:
- Vue CLI is in maintenance mode.
- Consistency between build and tests
- Right now, it feels like build time is reducing the cadence of testing locally for us: even if tests themselves run quickly, it takes some seconds to start them. Moving to Vitest should address that.
Better stack traces in testing
