vite-plugin-istanbul fails with "minimatch is not a function" due to test-exclude import incompatibility

[sunil-techverito]

Describe the bug

When using vite-plugin-istanbul with minimatch v3.x, the plugin throws an error:
Internal server error: minimatch is not a function
This is caused by test-exclude importing minimatch as { minimatch } = require('minimatch'), but minimatch v3 exports the function directly. The error occurs at test-exclude/index.js:98 when calling minimatch(...).

Reproduction

Vite should start without errors and code coverage should work

Steps to reproduce

Install vite-plugin-istanbul and minimatch@3.x.
Start Vite.
Observe the error in the console.

System Info

Nothing

Used Package Manager

yarn

Logs

Update the import in test-exclude to:
const minimatch = require('minimatch');
Or ensure compatibility with minimatch v3.x

Validations

• Read the Contributing Guidelines.
• Check that there isn't already an issue that reports the same bug to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Make sure this is a vite-plugin-istanbul issue and not a framework-specific issue. For example, if it's a Vue SFC related bug, it should likely be reported to vuejs/core instead.
• The provided reproduction is a minimal reproducible example of the bug.

I tested this against both the published vite-plugin-istanbul@9.0.1 package and the current next branch.

Test matrix:

• Node.js 24.15.0
• Yarn Classic 1.22.22
• root dependency minimatch@3.1.2
• vite-plugin-istanbul@9.0.1
• Vite 8.0.13

Yarn resolves the versions independently:

node_modules/minimatch                                  3.1.2
node_modules/test-exclude                              8.0.0
node_modules/test-exclude/node_modules/minimatch      10.2.5

I initialized the plugin, ran its config and configResolved hooks, and transformed a TypeScript module. The source was instrumented successfully and no minimatch is not a function error occurred. The same check also passed with pnpm 11.1.2.

The likely resolution was #386, which upgraded test-exclude from 7.0.1 to 8.0.0. Unless there is a reproduction that still fails on vite-plugin-istanbul@9.0.1, I think this issue can be closed as resolved. If it still occurs, please share the lockfile and any Yarn resolutions entry, since forcing test-exclude to consume minimatch 3 would reproduce the incompatible export shape.
