During Legacy builds worker files are not generated with renderModernChunks set to false

[christowiz]

Describe the bug

I am trying to create a legacy-only build (no modern chunks) using the Legacy plugin that outputs working code which includes the web worker files.

What is happening is that when renderModernChunks is set to false the worker file is not created during the build but is still referenced inside the bundled code. When renderModernChunks is either set to true or absent from the config the worker files are generated correctly.

This works correctly in dev mode

From a cursory examination I found that if I removed the conditional inside the legacyPostPlugin.configResolved method the worker files are generated correctly and the index.html file is output correctly. I haven't had time to dig any deeper.

Note: The reason I need a legacy only build is the HTML that is generated which supports both legacy and modern does not work on older browsers. This is a separate issue.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-zsxp4m?file=vite.config.js

Steps to reproduce

• Run vite build (or npm run build)
• View /dist/assets, no worker file exists
  • 
• View /dist/assets/index-legacy-HASH.js file to see reference to worker file

Testing

• Run vite preview or npx serve dist
• In preview mode console will log errors and serve will display 404 errors for missing worker file

With Modern

• Change renderModernChunks to true or remove completely from vite.config.js
• Run vite build
• View /dist/assets, worker file exists

Difference being the generated index.html file

Is this the same as #16639 (but english)?

I guess it is (after viewing the translation). Looks like that is from May 8th with no comments.
