Vite dev server unable to find vite.json file

[aslam]

Describe the bug

I am trying to run the Vite dev server on a Windows system with Cygwin. The issue described in npm/cmd-shim#45 is not the cause since I don't have any special characters in the path.

// package.json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "sass": "^1.56.1",
    "vite": "^3.2.3",
    "vite-plugin-ruby": "^3.1.2"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@ant-design/icons": "^4.8.0",
    "antd": "^5.0.0",
    "axios": "^1.1.3",
    "i18n-iso-countries": "^7.5.0",
    "localforage": "^1.10.0",
    "match-sorter": "^6.3.1",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0",
    "react-router-dom": "^6.4.3",
    "sort-by": "^1.2.0"
  }
}

❯ node -v
v18.12.1

The dev server fails to start with throwing the following error:
