I've been trying to use Webpack in an electron-forge app to load assets (images, specifically) but I haven't succeeded.
The main issue is that when I use the example rule for png with "asset/resource" as a type, the app won't run and an error gets thrown.
My rules are as follows:
module.exports = [
// Add support for native node modules
{
test: /\.node$/,
use: 'node-loader',
},
{
test: /\.(m?js|node)$/,
parser: { amd: false },
use: {
loader: '@marshallofsound/webpack-asset-relocator-loader',
options: {
outputAssetBase: 'native_modules',
},
},
},
{
test: /\.tsx?$/,
exclude: /(node_modules|\.webpack)/,
use: {
loader: 'ts-loader',
options: {
transpileOnly: true
}
}
},
{
test: /\.(png|svg|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/i,
type: 'asset/resource'
}
];
The error that gets thrown is the following:
An unhandled error has occurred inside Forge:
Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
- configuration.module.rules[3].type should be one of these:
"javascript/auto" | "javascript/dynamic" | "javascript/esm" | "json" | "webassembly/experimental"

I've searched for similar errors and nothing comes up. The rule is copied directly from the official documentation (https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/). The webpack version being used is the latest one available as of right now.
I'm out of ideas now, maybe somebody with more experience can shine some light.
Thanks!
