Using vite-plugin-gltf with SvelteKit

This is a minimal reproduction of an issue trying to use vite-plugin-gltf in a SvelteKit project. Threlte is used for attempting to render the model.

See src/lib/Test.svelte for the main test file. The .glb asset is stored in src/lib/assets/pineapple.glb (credit: Lassi Kaukonen).

the problem

Running the dev server, we see the following error:

ReferenceError: location is not defined
    at /src/lib/assets/pineapple.glb:1:70
    at instantiateModule (file:///home/ixxie/repos/sveltekit-gltf/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-3007b26d.js:52400:15)

the solution

It seems disabling SSR solved this issue:

// +page.js/ts
export const ssr = false;
