#Building .exe file with pkg results in "Failed to make bytecode"

Hey, I'm trying to build my node discord.js project into .exe file for ease of use. I managed to do so with https://www.npmjs.com/package/pkg by simply running it with pkg . --targets node18-win-x64 and below configuration:

  "pkg": {
    "scripts": "commands/**/*.js"
  }

I got following warnings though:

> Warning Failed to make bytecode node18-x64 for file C:\snapshot\bounty-rune-bot\node_modules\file-type\index.js
> Warning Failed to make bytecode node18-x64 for file C:\snapshot\bounty-rune-bot\node_modules\file-type\core.js
> Warning Failed to make bytecode node18-x64 for file C:\snapshot\bounty-rune-bot\node_modules\file-type\supported.js
> Warning Failed to make bytecode node18-x64 for file C:\snapshot\bounty-rune-bot\node_modules\file-type\util.js

and I have noticed that the .exe won't work without all node_modules copied into it's directory. I suspect it might be related to file-type not being bundled correctly, but maybe I'm missing something else. Thanks for help in advance.
