I encountered this error, and discovered it was because I ran npx vite-bundle-visualizer in the wrong directory.

Suggestion if you hit this: Check that you are running it in a directory with a package.json that includes vite.

It would be nice to have a sanity check so that vite-bundle-visualizer produces a more clear error message when run in the wrong directory. Sorry, I'm not going to make an MR for that myself.
