How to disable transpilation to commonjs?

[felipecrs]

Hi,

I'm using Electron 34 which should have full support for ESM, requiring no transpilation to commonjs. How do I configure Electron Vite to avoid commonjs transpilation?

Specifically, I'm trying to replace my top-level require() with top-level await import(), but they don't work, and I believe it's related to commonjs transpilation.

Or, if you have any clue on what else the problem could be, I would deeply appreciate.

When following that documentation, it says:

When using this way, the main process and preload scripts will be bundled as ES module files and end with the .mjs extension. You need to fix the main field (Electron entry point) in package.json and the file names that reference these preload scripts in your code.

However, that doesn't happen for me:

And the issue remains (top-level await import()) doesn't work.
