esbuild tried to read "../../.." , in vite , using npm run dev #3783
Description
When running npm run dev in windows 11 powershell without admin priveldges , it shows the following error
vite version 5.0.8
I have tried the same thing with git bash and cmd.
> part1@0.0.0 dev
> vite --base "./"
✘ [ERROR] Cannot read directory "../../..": Access is denied.
✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "C:\\Users\\Harsh\\Desktop\\website\\website\\vite.config.js"

note that i added --base "./" to make it the root directory , even before it didnt work.
here's my vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react()],
base: '/',
});
Also npm run dev works if i give it admin priveldges or if i use older versions of vite like 2.5
Something similar in #2261 but didnt help
