[Python] Problem with the vite django integration (TypeError)

I'm currently working on integrating Vite with my Django project using the django-vite package. However, upon running the Django development server, I encounter the following error:

TypeError: django_vite.core.asset_loader.DjangoViteConfig() argument after ** must be a mapping, not bool


Project Setup:

Django Version: 5.1.5
django-vite Version: [Specify Version]

Vite Configuration:
The vite.config.js is set to output build files to Django's static directory, and the manifest is enabled.

Django Settings:
django_vite is added to INSTALLED_APPS.

DJANGO_VITE configuration is defined as follows:

DJANGO_VITE = {
"dev_mode": DEBUG,
"manifest_path": os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static", "manifest.json"),
"static_url_prefix": STATIC_URL,
}


vite.config.ts

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
test: {
globals: true,
environment: "jsdom",
setupFiles: "./src/setupTests.js",
include: ["**/__tests__/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
},
base: "/static/", // Entspricht dem STATIC_URL in Django
build: {
outDir: "../backend/static/", // Pfad zum statischen Ordner von Django
manifest: true,
rollupOptions: {
input: "src/main.jsx", // Haupteinstiegspunkt
},
},
});


Error Details:

The traceback indicates the error originates from the DjangoViteConfig class in the django_vite package:

File "path_to_python_env\Lib\site-packages\django_vite\core\asset_loader.py", line 731, in _apply_django_vite_settings
config = DjangoViteConfig(**config)
TypeError: django_vite.core.asset_loader.DjangoViteConfig() argument after ** must be a mapping, not bool


Configuration Verification: Ensured that the DJANGO_VITE settings are correctly defined as a dictionary.

Dependencies Check: Verified that all related packages are up-to-date and compatible with each other.

Code Review: Searched through the codebase to identify any unintended boolean values being passed where a mapping is expected.
