Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

When using TanStack Devtools in a React TanStack Start app with Vite 8, the following warnings appear in the terminal and browser when starting the dev server

❯ bun run dev
$ vite dev --port 3000

  VITE v8.0.3  ready in 1039 ms

These warnings do not appear with Vite 7 using the exact same dependencies and configuration.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Clone the repro repo and install dependencies:
    git clone https://github.com/abed-daloopa/tanstack-devtools-solid-warnings
    cd tanstack-devtools-solid-warnings
    bun install
    
  2. Run the dev server:
    bun run dev
    
  3. Open http://localhost:3000 — warnings appear in the browser console and terminal.

To verify Vite 8 is the cause, downgrade to Vite 7:

- "vite": "^8.0.3"
+ "vite": "^7.3.1"

Or add resolve.dedupe: ["solid-js"] to vite config

Reinstall and run ➡︎ warnings disappear.

Root cause: Vite 8 resolves Solid.js as multiple instances at runtime, even when only one copy exists in node_modules. Vite correctly deduplicates it.

Note: Adding resolve.dedupe: ["solid-js"] to the Vite config fixes the issue.

Research direction

Start with the linked minimal reproduction and its Vite configuration, then compare the dev-server behavior under Vite 7 and Vite 8. Inspect the TanStack devtools Vite integration and the reported Solid.js resolution path; done means the Vite 8 setup no longer emits the duplicate-instance and disposal warnings without relying on the reported dedupe workaround.
