TypeScript Forge configuration fails to load for Node >=23.6 #3872
Description
Pre-flight checklist
- I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
- I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project uses.
- I have searched the issue tracker for a bug that matches the one I want to file, without success.
Forge version
7.6.1 aswell as 7.7.0
Electron version
34.0.0
Operating system
Arch Linux
Last known working Forge version
7.7.0 but with Node 23.5
Expected behavior
The command npm run package should work on node-versions greater than 23.5 as "good" as on version 23.5 and less.
Actual behavior
On node 23.6, 23.7 and 23.8:
pm run package
> my-app@1.0.0 package
> electron-forge package

Failed to load: /tmp/test/my-app/forge.config.ts
(node:7471) [MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON] Warning: Module type of file:///tmp/test/my-app/forge.config.ts is not specified and it doesn't parse as CommonJS.
Reparsing as ES module because module syntax was detected. This incurs a performance overhead.
To eliminate this warning, add "type": "module" to /tmp/test/my-app/package.json.
An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
