# forceRerunTriggers&#x20;

* **Type**: `string[]`
* **Default:** `['**/package.json/**', '**/vitest.config.*/**', '**/vite.config.*/**']`

Glob pattern of file paths that will trigger the whole suite rerun. When paired with the `--changed` argument will run the whole test suite if the trigger is found in the git diff.

Useful if you are testing calling CLI commands, because Vite cannot construct a module graph:

```ts
test('execute a script', async () => {
  // Vitest cannot rerun this test, if content of `dist/index.js` changes
  await execa('node', ['dist/index.js'])
})
```

::: tip
Make sure that your files are not excluded by [`server.watch.ignored`](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-watch).
