Pre-flight checklist

• I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
• I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project uses.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a bug that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Electron Forge version

latest

Electron version

latest

Operating system

windows 11

Last known working Electron Forge version

unknown

Expected behavior

Running npm init electron-app@latest my-new-app -- --template=webpack properly creates a electron-forge project with webpack compatibility.

Actual behavior

Running npm init electron-app@latest my-new-app -- --template=webpack creates a electron-forge project without webpack compatibilty, and without several required files. Following is an image of file explorer with the created directory. The command was working as soon as 3 days ago however it recently broke for an unknown reason
from "my-new-app" directory

"my-new-app/src"

Steps to reproduce

create a webpack template. I literally have no idea if this is a recent change or me being dumb but it looks nothing like the other electron-forge project I have been working on this week.

Additional information

The command used is directly from the electron-forge website under "built-in-templates" in "webpack". Downloading the template even shows an error after running npm start. that being:

Uncaught Exception:
(Index.js path):1
import {app, BrowserWindow} from 'electron'
^^^^
Syntax Error: Cannot use import statement outside module.

I took this as more evidence something is wrong rather than another error in itself given that it has a pretty simple fix. That being adding a "type" : "module", line after "productName" in the package.json.

I'm sorry if there's something wrong with this but I don't have much experience with JavaScript or large complicated projects like this. And most of my coding experience is with small python projects. I just want to learn a front-end framework for desktop and move on with my life.
PS: sorry for the weird formatting i'm a bit new to markdown.

If you're on Windows, this might be an issue with the npm CLI on Windows: #3662

This issue is an accidental duplicate of #3662 due to a strange name. My bad.
