Error: Cannot find package 'file-type'

[Default-01]

What happened:
I get this error when I use some features in my Discord bot, I've spoken to staff from the Framework of Discord.js and they believe this has to do with incorrect importing.

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'file-type' imported from C:\Users\Nando\Downloads\AdvancedTicketBot1.1\node_modules\@discordjs\rest\dist\index.js
Did you mean to import file-type/index.js?

What you expected to happen:
To not show this error and import properly.

Anything else we need to know?:
no

Environment:

• Host Node Version: V16
• Target Node Version: V16
• Nexe version: 4.0.0-rc.1
• Python Version:

I hit this problem too. v13 is fine but v14 crashes with this error when trying to send a message with a file attachment.
Someone reported the same issue on discord.js : discordjs/discord.js#9508
They are using vercel/pkg which looks like it creates an exe package same as nexe
They closed the issue blaming vercel/pkg ... so who will investigate and fix this?

If you're saying it works in v13, but not in v14, then perhaps thats the thing I didn't know which would make them actually investigate the bug now that v14 is known to be the issue here.

I would assume it would be a problem with how they build their library over how nexe handled the bundling of common js files.

I investigated today and it seems the issue is that discord.js v14 is using ESM modules. Both nexe and vercel/pkg don't support ESM...
#815
vercel/pkg#1291

So your options are to use v13 or ... be reckless and irresponsible like me and hack the @discordjs\rest\dist\index.js file so it doesn't import the file-type package.
