vitest: [Windows] vitest exits silently without watching or printing coverage when using canvas

Describe the bug

(It seems the issue described here applies to Windows only. All failing cases listed below pass on Ubuntu via WSL2 in Windows but fail in Windows PowerShell.)

For some runs of vitest,

• it doesn’t watch. It does print the watch output (i.e. “Waiting for file changes…”, etc.).
• it doesn’t print a coverage report. It does print the coverage output (i.e. “% Coverage report from c8”).

Reproduction

1. Clone https://github.com/kleinfreund/vue-accessible-color-picker/tree/a650e7fd451e1ea23eeb2f95ce4d29ec8183b3c2 (sorry, can’t reproduce this in a more minimal case but the repo should be small enough), run npm install.
2. Set test.singleThread to true in vite.config.js.
3. Run the following commands:
   • npx vitest
     ❌ doesn’t watch
   • npx vitest .\src\utilities\
     ❌ doesn’t watch
   • npx vitest --coverage
     ❌ doesn’t watch, doesn’t print coverage report
   • npx vitest --coverage .\src\utilities\
     ❌ doesn’t watch, doesn’t print coverage report
   • npx vitest run --coverage
     ❌ doesn’t print coverage report
   • npx vitest run --coverage .\src\utilities\
     ❌ doesn’t print coverage report
   • npx vitest .\src\utilities\color-conversions\
     ✅ watches
   • npx vitest --coverage .\src\utilities\color-conversions\
     ✅ watches, prints coverage report
   • npx vitest run --coverage .\src\utilities\color-conversions\
     ✅ prints coverage report

More context

• Running tests using wildcards in path segments doesn’t seem to work whatsoever. All the following runs produce the “No test files found, exiting with code 1” error. Path separator doesn’t seem to matter; filter, include, exclude, and watch exclude values seem to all be correct and correctly normalized. I suspect this is some sort of lack of path resolving against the current working directory in Windows environments.
  • npx vitest run --coverage .\src
    ✅
  • npx vitest run --coverage .\src\**\*.test.js
    ❌ prints “No test files found, exiting with code 1”
  • npx vitest run --coverage .\src\utilities\*.test.js
    ❌ prints “No test files found, exiting with code 1”
  • npx vitest run --coverage .\src\utilities\**\*.test.js
    ❌ prints “No test files found, exiting with code 1”
• This is not related to Vue. I’ve ported the package to a separate web component and the exact same issue occurs in that project as well.
