Node-pty and ElectronJS

I am trying to use node-pty from within an ElectronJS app, but I'm struggling to get it to work.

I am using Electron React Boilerplate as the base for my project.

Repro of the issue:

git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react-boilerplate.git test-electron-nodepty
cd test-electron-nodepty
npm i
cd release/app
npm i --save node-pty
cd ../..
npm i

(note: I installed node-pty in release/app per the instructions here for installing native dependencies in Electron React Boilerplate)

Then I update src/main/main.ts with the following:

import pty from 'node-pty';

pty.spawn('bash', [], {
  name: 'xterm-color',
  cols: 80,
  rows: 30,
  cwd: process.env.HOME,
  env: process.env,
});

Running npm run start, I get the error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'spawn')

I've also tried:

npm run build
node release/app/dist/main/main.js

And I get this error:

I've spent a considerable amount of time trying solutions from changing package versions to using electron builder, but I can't seem to figure out the correct magic sauce to make everything work together.

I'm using an ARM Mac.
