electron-vite-react: How to use ESM modules in main process? Dynamic import broken after build

I’m just trying to use execa in the main process with:

import { execaCommand } from "execa"

But I hit the Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module issue.

---

If I switch to a dynamic import:

const { execaCommand } = await import("execa")

This works fine with npm run dev, BUT breaks when building with npm run build with the following error:

(I’m using electron-unhandled to capture the error)

Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, stat '/Users/johnlindquist/dev/electron-vite-react/release/2.1.0/mac-arm64/electron-vite-react.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/dist-electron/main/node_modules/execa'

Thanks for any help!
