Unable to load preload script \@capacitor\electron\dist\electron-bridge.js

Describe the bug Just migrated from electron 8.5.5 to 19.0.9 for an electron ionic desktop application project. When trying to open electron window with the command 'npx cap open electron', it throws an error: Unable to load preload script: ..electron\node_modules@capacitor\electron\dist\electron-bridge.js

Implementation

mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 400,
    height: 700,
    resizable: false,
    title: "Desktopia",
    show: false,
    icon: path.join(__dirname, 'favicon.ico'),
    webPreferences: {
      backgroundThrottling: false,
      nodeIntegration: true,
      preload: path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules', '@capacitor', 'electron', 'dist', 'electron-bridge.js')
    }
  });

Expected behavior Electron window should open with the command 'npx cap open electron'

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows

'npx cap open electron' is referencing discontinued electron platform, and not the capacitor-community platform where you are writing this issue. If you want to use this capacitor-community platform read the docu
