Describe the bug

On watch mode, if a project uses a vitest workspace config (either a workspace/project file, or test.workspace notation in vite config), changes to the set up file are not picked up.

Example:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    workspace: [
      {
        test: {
          setupFiles: ['setup-file.ts'], // making changes here won't trigger re-tests
        },
      },
    ],
  },
});
