Meteor 3 connect to a different server

Question

I'm trying to connect my meteor app running on localhost:4000 to the server of another meteor app running on localhost:3000;

reading the docs, I'm trying to do

import { DDP } from 'meteor/ddp-client'

As soon as I add this import, the app starts crashing with this error: [vite] (client) Pre-transform error: Failed to resolve import "../common/namespace.js" from "meteor/ddp-client". Does the file exist?

my vite.config.js:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import vue from "@vitejs/plugin-vue";
import { meteor } from "meteor-vite/plugin";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    meteor({
      clientEntry: "imports/ui/main.js",
      serverEntry: "server/main.js",
      enableExperimentalFeatures: true,
      stubValidation: {
        ignorePackages: ["meteor/mongo"],
      },
    }),
    vue(),
  ],
  optimizeDeps: {
    exclude: ["vue-meteor-tracker"],
  },
});

my package.json:

...
"dependencies": {
    "@babel/runtime": "^7.23.5",
    "@tailwindcss/postcss": "^4.1.10",
    "@vueuse/core": "^13.5.0",

  },
  "meteor": {
    "modern": true,
    "mainModule": {
      "client": "client/entry-meteor.js",
      "server": "server/entry-meteor.js"
    },
    "testModule": "tests/main.js"
  },

    "prettier": "^3.5.3",
    "prettier-plugin-tailwindcss": "^0.6.13",
    "vite": "^6.0.11"
  }

This seems to be a bug with the vite package not correctly covering export. Currently in the ddp-client package the server/server.js contains the following code:

export { DDP } from '../common/namespace.js';

Your can for now fix this locally by creating a packages folder and copy the ddp-client folder as it is into packages and change server/server.js to the followng:

import { DDP } from '../common/namespace.js';

export { DDP };
