Electron Build Tests Error Before Packaged Output

[Garrett Michael Flynn]

When using electron-builder in a vitest context, an error is thrown that fails the test and will not allow for further development (e.g. adding tests to cover the actual Resource folder of the output application)

Note: To trigger this behaviors, you can modify the skipPackageStep in tests/utils.ts to not include isElectron.

The quickest way to fix this would be to run the build command before running vitest at all, targeting the application that was built before.

Fixed when upgraded to latest dependencies.
