Logs

Can't reproduce with the steps provided.

I notice that you are using an outdated version of node 14 (14.4.0). Please update it and try again.
vite-plugin-svelte requires "node": "^12.20 || ^14.13.1 || >= 16"

If it still fails and you did any modification to the template after creating it, please provide a repository with them.
