Unable to fix Node Path in packaged Electron App

I'm building a simple Electron app for MacOS (using React as the frontend). The purpose of the app was to make executing certain terminal commands a lot easier (using child_process.spawn. Primarily I am interested in using the sfdx Salesforce CLI commands.
When I run the app in dev, everything works fine. However when I package the app, the PATH variable gets changed and I'm no longer able to locate the sfdx library. (*note it is still able to find git commands though).
I found a very similar issue here and a bug report in GitHub, both of which recommend the use of the fix-path package. This is where I run into another issue. According to the docs, I should import the package like this:
import fixPath from 'fix-path';
However when I do that inside of my electron.js file I get this error: SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module. I've seen other resources that use require to bring in the package:
const fixPath = require('fix-path');
But again, when I do that I get this error require() of ES Module not supported.
I tried adding "type": "module" to my package.json file, but that breaks my app as well.
I feel like there is something simple that I am missing here, but can't seem to figure out. I believe that if I could import and use the fix-path package, then this would solve my problems. But if that isn't possible, does anyone know of a way for me to fix the path in my app so that it works in prod?
Thank you in advance!
Some extra details:
The two dependencies I check for are git and sfdx. The following image shows where both of those live on my machine:
And this is the response to the same commands within the packages asar file:

I found a workaround, it looks like fix-path made a move to ESM during the last release. Because I am using CJS modules I just needed to install version 3 of fix-path by running npm install fix-path#3.0.0 --save

I've created an extension, but when loaded can't find a dependency

I've created an extension for VSCode which generated barrel files for Dart and Flutter projects.
I've used Javascript and I've used the package loadash. However, now that I have installed it, I keep getting the error: Cannot find module 'lodash'.
I've been looking around and I do not know how to fix it, since I would not want that all users should install the loadash dependency. Aren't dependecies added when created the extension package with vsce package?

I solved it by removing the node_modules/** line from the .vscodeignore file.

The global CKEDITOR_VERSION constant has already been set on vue

I am creating Vue spa and integrating CKEditor here using this package I tried to do just like the tutorial by adding this to my app.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import ClassicEditor from '#ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic'
import documentEditor from '#ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-decoupled-document'
import VueCkeditor from 'vue-ckeditor5'
const options = {
editors: {
classic: ClassicEditor,
document: documentEditor
},
name: 'ckeditor'
}
Vue.use(VueCkeditor.plugin, options);
and to make it work I doing NPM install to those 2 editors (ClassicEditor and documentEditor)
npm install --save #ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-decoupled-document
and since I also need CKEditor but with much more simpler or to being said without image upload features then I for the ckeditor5 build classic and remove those plugin from there and then NPM build and then I am doing this on my Vue spa
npm install --save #ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic
after that, I open #ckeditor folder on node_modules and find the ckeditor5-build-classic folder and replace build folder with my custom version of CKEditor build classic
but then I get this error
ckeditor-version-collision: The global CKEDITOR_VERSION constant has already been set.
even though the editor still working, but I don't like the idea my console showing error

This problem is precisely described in docs, you can't run two editors from different builds on the same page (or mixing builds and source code).
tl;dr; The easiest way to enable running two different editors on the same site is to create a custom build that will export these two builds. This is described in the above docs.
The behavior has changed ~3 months ago and the error has been added to such situation to prevent bugs and big size of the bundle. Therefore the author of the https://github.com/igorxut/vue-ckeditor5 can just update the readme to follow the latest version's API.

I recommend to create "super build".
For example you can clone repository of classic build and change 3 files.
Check my gits.
I updated example1 for using this build.

Import local JS files into Meteor

I'm having terrible problems when trying to import an external JS project into my meteor folder. This is the project I'll like to use: http://www.outsharked.com/imagemapster/default.aspx?demos.html#beatles
As you can see, it is necessary to import two scripts. The first one is JQuery, and that was easily solved by adding it with meteor add jquery.
The problem came out when I tried to import the second script. I'm not sure how I can use it because, as far as I know, on meteor you cannot just import your script into the head section. For that reason, I've created a new template that is rendered and I put the code in there, but nothing happenend. Later on I've created an event that calls the JS when the image is clicked but without any success.
My question is, Which is the correct way to import a local JS code in meteor as in HTML is done with:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../dist/jquery.imagemapster.js"></script>

Since jquery-imagemapster is available as an npm package you can do:
$ npm install jquery-imagemapster
In your project directory and make it available to your project that way.
In early versions of Meteor packages were only available via atmosphere and $ meteor add. Later they added npm support and all npm packages became available.

Prefix npm installs with “meteor” -> “meteor npm install —save ‘js file’. Initializing will be the same as it would be in any other front end environment as will importing it. If you’re having trouble after that, check for it’s existance in your browser console and work from there using its built in properties and methods.

Bootstrap Touch Carousel with Webpack

I am in the process of moving a legacy webapp over to run on some sort of frontend dependancy manager. In this instance im using Webpack and NPM.
I have been able to migrate 90% of the app over, however I am stuck on an issue with bootstrap-touch-carousel.
It seems even though I have installed it via npm, I am still not able to call it via the normal require(./bootstrap-touch-carousel).
Are the some dependencies that need to be required differently? Or am I on the wrong track?

You cannot import it with require('bootstrap-touch-carousel') because in this module package.json there isn't main file
You must explicitly import distributed .js file by doing this:
require('bootstrap-touch-carousel/dist/js/bootstrap-touch-carousel')
