[Bug]: Vite `Pre-transform error: Failed to load url /sb-preview/runtime.js `

[Hecatron]

Describe the bug

When running storybook via vuejs, currently the following shows up in the console

12:55:22 [vite] Pre-transform error: Failed to load url /sb-preview/runtime.js (resolved id: /sb-preview/runtime.js). Does the file exist?

This is due to a new pre-transform feature of vite 5 I think
Currently storybook does already add the following in to the vite config as part of builder-vite

  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      external: ['./sb-preview/runtime.js'],
    }
  }

What I think is also needed is the following

assetsInclude: ['/sb-preview/runtime.js'],

Fix pulled from the following

• Vite ignoring external files during Pre-transform vitejs/vite#15374

To Reproduce

pnpm create vue@latest
pnpm dlx storybook@latest init

System

I was facing this error on Storybook 7.6, after upgrading to Vite 5.
I confirm that assetsInclude: ['/sb-preview/runtime.js'] added to .storybook/vite.config.ts solved it.

Hi @ErickPetru
I am not able to solve this issue by adding assetsInclude: ['/sb-preview/runtime.js'] to vite.config.ts
