Expected behavior

The electron-forge make command successfully runs, packaging my project into an installer file.

Actual behavior

Error occured while running the electron-forge make command.

Must use import to load ES Module: mypath\webpack.main.config.ts
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of mypath\webpack.main.config.ts from
mypath\forge.config.cts is an ES module file as it is a .ts file whose nearest parent
package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .ts files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from
mypath\package.json.

Note: My forge config file has been renamed to forge.config.cts, but it still be recognized as an ES module file.

Steps to reproduce

1. Init an electron-foge project
2. set "type" field to "module"(Because my project depends a package which use "exports" field to export entries, so I think I should set "type" to "module").
3. npm run make
