[Vite] No auth token provided in dev/watch mode warning

[cleptric]

On https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/vue/sourcemaps/uploading/vite/, we mention

The Sentry Vite plugin doesn’t upload source maps in watch-mode/development-mode. We recommend running a production build to test your configuration.

However, running vite, I get the following output.

❯ npm run dev

> dev
> vite

It seems:

Vite doesn't load .env files by default

So I needed to follow Vite's guide on how to use Environment variables within their config file

Not sure if this has changed recently but this plugin's example is wrong.

@owenjs I don't think any bundler loads .env files by default. I also don't think our example is wrong. If you wanna use vite's way of accessing environment configuration you have to do that, otherwise (as it says in those docs) "Environmental Variables can be obtained from process.env as usual".

@cleptric thanks for raising this, will fix.

Using loadEnv did the trick https://main.vitejs.dev/config/#using-environment-variables-in-config
Thank you
