I'm experiencing the same on Ubuntu 22.04 and node 16. When debugging, I see that the errors happen when a package uses import. I saw this multiple times on the output, when using axios:

function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import axios from './lib/axios.js';
                                                              ^^^^^^

@fcastilloec I am running into a similar issue as above. Do you have any recommendations on how to fix the import issue?

[kuema]

As a workaround, you can include the files in question as assets. The warnings will still be present at build time, but at least you have the files included. They load properly at runtime, just tested it with the axios package.

   "assets": [
      "node_modules/axios/**"
    ]

I'm having the same issue, running on Windows 11, Node 18. I think the paths are wrong, in your example there is: C:\snapshot\DBD-Advanced-Ticket-Bot...

That C:\snapshot doesn't seem right, and it's doing that for me as well.

Update: I saw in another issue that ESM (import) isn't supported, which I am definitely using, will try with CommonJS instead and see if that works.

It might be good if "pkg" could spit out an error message when it seems ESM modules? (until they are supported of course)
