bug: plugin messes up vitest boot sequence

having the plugin used as in the README will prevent vitest from starting correctly (depending on adapter, error may change)

the only way is to defineConfig(({ mode }) => and return a config with loaded plugin when mode !== 'test' which is far from pretty.

any chance to disable the plugin for tests? even with an option?

I can confirm that this issue exists. I get this exception:
