dev server returns url for imported assets

[lament pecan]

I have an application that I have recently swtiched to vite which is incorrectly importing assts in dev. Specifically, regardless of which suffix is added, the import resolves to the asset url. This is not a problem when building for production. It's also not a problem when the page is being server-side rendered. This only occurs when the code reaches the browser.

Would really appreciate any suggestions to isolate the issue further. Thanks.

Not sure if this is signifcant but using vite-plugin-inspect, I can see that there is a transform by vite:import-analysis which converts the import suffix from ?raw to ?import&raw
