Description

TanStack Devtools version

0.3.11

Framework/Library version

React 19.2.0

Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

If the Vite command is run from a different directory than what the Vite root is (we do this because we have a big monorepo), the click-to-code feature does not work. When making a custom editor config, I can see that the filePath includes duplication of some parts of the path (/Users/literalpie/my-repo/config/Users/literalpie/my-repo/src/App.tsx)

I believe the problem is that cwd is used to clean up the path, but cwd might not match what's in the vite id path.

Do you intend to try to help solve this bug with your own PR?

No, because I do not have time to dig into it

Research direction

Start in packages/devtools-vite/src/inject-source.ts around line 259, where cwd is used to clean up the Vite id path. Reproduce the issue with the linked StackBlitz example using a Vite command from a different directory than the Vite root, then verify click-to-code produces a non-duplicated filePath.
