fix(module): apply vitest setup only when loaded from vitest config

[yamachi4416]

🔗 Linked issue

resolves #747
resolves #1833

📚 Description

Scope unignoring of test file patterns to Vitest setup only

• Move other Vitest-only configurations into the Vitest setup conditional block
• Stopped removing Nuxt's default test file patterns, ensuring they remain ignored during directory scanning
• Delayed adding negated ignore patterns until right before Vitest execution

Tested with Nuxt(runtime,e2e), nuxt/ui, and npmx.dev(runtime)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Vitest module now applies import mocking and test-file exclusion when _fromVitestConfig is enabled. Test-file filtering moved from setupImportMocking into setupNuxtIgnore, with unit tests for ignore patterns and plugin entries. A new example adds co-located app and server tests across four Vitest projects. The full Vitest example adds two tests and updates its expected Nuxt spec-file count.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk | ⚪ Minimal · up to ed6cb

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ed6cb

The investigated changes preserve ordinary build behavior and do not cause colocated tests to enter Nuxt’s initial app scan. No merge-blocking issue remains identified.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2c7d3

The change narrows test-only behavior and strengthens exclusion of co-located tests from application discovery. No new production attack path was established, but server-side discovery and lifecycle ordering remain incompletely validated.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed gate is local module configuration, not request authentication. Its discovery effects apply across the selected Nuxt application's source categories. The inspected routed pages provide no request-input path into that gate; selecting Vitest setup or supplying the internal option requires configuration-level control.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — If Nitro is initialized under Vitest-originated setup, co-located server tests remain eligible for server scanning after the default ignore is removed; the application cleanup hooks do not filter Nitro handlers. This exclusion gap predates the PR because the base performed the same default-pattern removal without server cleanup. It is not evidence of a newly introduced production attack path, and runtime execution was not verified.

🟡 Minor · Exclude co-located test files from Nitro's handler scan. · ignore.ts:30-39

src/module/ignore.ts:30-39
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude co-located test files from Nitro's handler scan.

Nuxt must keep the default ignore removed so test-file plugins can run. Add equivalent patterns to Nitro's configuration instead. Otherwise Nitro registers the co-located .spec.ts files as server handlers.

Suggested fix

   nuxt.options.ignore = nuxt.options.ignore.filter(i => i !== '**/*.{spec,test}.{js,cts,mts,ts,jsx,tsx}')
+  nuxt.hook('nitro:config', (nitroConfig) => {
+    nitroConfig.ignore ||= []
+    for (const modifier of TEST_FILE_PATTERN.modifiers) {
+      for (const extension of TEST_FILE_PATTERN.extensions) {
+        nitroConfig.ignore.push(`**/*.${modifier}.${extension}`)
+      }
+    }
+  })

Update the ignore handling in the module setup so co-located test files remain
