Current and expected behavior

While testing the v5.3.1 update I started getting test failures I was not getting in v5.3.0 with vite & vitest. Downgraded just to confirm and reapplied the update and get the following error:

bash
Error: Cannot find module 'node_modules/react/jsx-runtime' imported from node_modules/react-chartjs-2/dist/index.js
Did you mean to import "react/jsx-runtime.js"?
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Serialized Error: { code: 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND', url: 'file:///node_modules/react/jsx-runtime' }

Reproduction

Trying to use a Bar chart in a component in a test

chart.js version

v4.5.1

react-chartjs-2 version

v5.3.1

Possible solution

It seems like https://github.com/reactchartjs/react-chartjs-2/pull/1309 is the underlying change
