Description
I am running @clerk/tanstack-react-start in a vite project and I get the following error:
The error occurs in src/tokens/clerkRequest.ts in @clerk/backend. There are no other libraries referencing the cookie package (verified in package-lock). The error only occurs when running vite dev, in production there are no errors. Could possibly use cookie-es or similar instead?
If anyone else runs into this: A temporary fix is to add the following into vite.config
optimizeDeps: { include: ["cookie"] },
