I am trying to use lingui on a tanstack start project deployed on cloudflare, but running into a problem with macro

[capaj]

This is the error:

  ✘ [ERROR] The macro you imported from "@lingui/core/macro" is being executed outside the context of compilation. 
This indicates that you don't configured correctly one of the "babel-plugin-macros" / "@lingui/swc-plugin" / "babel-plugin-lingui-macro"Please see the documentation for how to configure Vite with Lingui correctly: https://lingui.dev/tutorials/setup-vite [plugin vite:dep-scan]

         ╵                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  This error came from the "onResolve" callback registered here:

Check that you have vite configured like here:
