About rollup-plugin-import-trace
rollup-plugin-import-trace
Rollup/Vite plugin that adds import traces to build errors.
When a build error is thrown, the plugin adds an importTrace property showing the chain of imports that led to the problematic file:
[!NOTE] Rollup errors have a watchFiles property that may look similar, but it's just files for watch mode to monitor. It includes all files imported from the entry point, not just the chain that led to the error.
Install
Usage
[!IMPORTANT] List importTrace() first in the plugins array. Its resolveId hook needs to run before other plugins to record import relationships for error recovery.
Works with Rollup and Vite (both dev and build modes).
Formatting Utility
In Vite dev mode, the error message is automatically formatted for the browser overlay:
For other cases (e.g. CLI tools), use patchErrorWithTrace(error) to format and append the trace to the error message:
Output:
[!TIP] patchErrorWithTrace accepts unknown—safely does nothing if the error doesn't have an importTrace array.
