dist-electron/main.js not being created

[sev-b]

I am stumped: Have been trying to add this lib to an existing nuxt/electron app today and everything seems to work fine when running npx nuxi dev initially but for some reason only preload.js gets created in dist-electron but no main.js leading to the error:

Cannot find module dist-electron\main.js. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

 ERROR  [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "fsevents" from "D:/GIT/ut-wizard/front-end/node_modules/rollup/dist/es/shared/node-entry.js".
This is most likely unintended because it can break your application at runtime.
If you do want to externalize this module explicitly add it to
build.rollupOptions.external
