Integrating sentry electron using ESM: regression caused for electron-updater: require is not defined

[CatStudioApp]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

No response

Steps to Reproduce

We're using this template: https://github.com/electron-vite/electron-vite-react.git

import * as Sentry from "@sentry/electron/main";

export async function initSentry() {
  Sentry.init({
    debug: import.meta.env.DEV,
    environment: import.meta.env.DEV ? "development" : "production",
    dsn: "xxx",
  });
}

btw, this can work around this bug:

import { createRequire } from "node:module";

const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);

export function initSentry() {
  const Sentry = require("@sentry/electron/main");
  const log = require("electron-log");
  Sentry.init({
    debug: true,
    environment: import.meta.env.DEV ? "development" : "production",
    dsn: "xxx",
  });
  log.info("Sentry initialized");
}

initSentry();

Expected Result

everything should work

Actual Result

electron-updater stopped from working after integrating sentry electron.
require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension

Sorry, you will need to supply a more complete example because I can't reproduce this issue when I add Sentry to the above repository.

For reference, I checked out the above repo and made these changes and don't get any build or runtime errors:
