code not includes @truffle/hdwallet-provider dependency in built

[israel-gonzalezmedina]

• Electron-Builder Version: 23.0.3
• Node Version: 16.9.1
• Electron Version:
• 18.0.1
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly):

• Target: https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react-boilerplate

  Expected Behavior

  binary runs fine without errors

Current Behavior

the @truffle/hdwallet-provider dependency is not loaded in the binary so the call inside the code returns an error

when running binary the call of the hd provider object gives an error

Steps to Reproduce

** I reproduce the error with minimal changes to the original template

• clone the boilerplate repository
• install native package @truffle/hdwallet-provider in release/app with $npm install @truffle/hdwallet-provider
• create a provider with a http url and a private key on a function that is loaded at the begining.
• create the binary using $ npm run package
• run the binary

  to create a provider on the third step I created an account in mumbai test net. With it, import the dependency on the src/main/preload.ts file import HDWalletProvider from '@truffle/hdwallet-provider';

and add the following lines inside function "once" on src/main/preload.ts let provider = new HDWalletProvider({ privateKeys: ['0x65eac84ea2b63f6844cd179b70d8edeab6490d399220c932304dcee620e4feb5'], providerOrUrl: 'https://rpc-mumbai.maticvigil.com/v1/e0052982a1645cd014792bf58692c3f65c663f70' });

Possible Solution (Not obligatory)

I look on the web and it seems there is a possible bug with electron builder related to the package directory name constructor https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70901907/electron-builder-not-including-entire-dependency-in-built-version the accepted solution proposes a change in the installed package that really works however, not a good solution. There are others suggestions referring to configuration

I recall doing that investigation. asar package seems to not consider anything named "constructor" to be valid. AFAIK, the minimal-entry route is to use asarUnpack to circumvent the issue
