I am creating an application that uses selenium-webdriver and chromedriver, when I use npm start my application works perfectly, but when I use npm run build:win, it does not find chromedriver what am I doing wrong?

const log = require('electron-log')
const { parentPort, workerData } = require('worker_threads')
const { Builder, By, until } = require('selenium-webdriver')
const chrome = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome')
const chromedriver = require('chromedriver')

log.info(chromedriver.path)

// [info]  D:\Github\electron-vite-vanilla\my-app\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar\node_modules\chromedriver\lib\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe
