Describe the Bug

https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#subpath-imports

In my application(esm), I have specified mappings to internal directories so that I can use them easily instead of specifying the full relative path.

package.json

{
  "name": "@testapp/demo",
  "main": "app.js",
  "type": "module",
  "imports": {
    "#lib/*": "./lib/*"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "DEBUG=knex:query nodemon --experimental-json-modules app",
    "start": "node --experimental-json-modules app.js"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=18.x.x"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@koa/router": "^10.1.1",
    "koa": "^2.13.4",
    "pkg": "^5.7.0"
  }
}

app.js

import 'dotenv/config';
import Koa from 'koa';
import router from '#lib/routes.js';

const app = new Koa();
app.use(router.routes());

const server = app.listen(config.port || 6001, () => {
  console.log('Example app listening at port %s', server.address().port);
});

Command: npx pkg --target node18 app.js

Result:

npx pkg --target node18 app.js
> [email protected]
> Warning Cannot find module '#lib/routes.js' from '/Users/<user>/projects/<project>/testapp/demo'  in /Users/<user>/projects/<project>/testapp/demo/app.js
> Warning Failed to make bytecode node18-arm64 for file /snapshot/demo/app.js

The application is running correctly using the npm scripts.

A binary is created but when I execute that I'm getting:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:942
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module '/snapshot/demo/app.js'
....
....

Expected Behavior

Application correctly built

To Reproduce

• Create an imports entry in package.json
• Import something using the imports entry in the script that you are trying to compile
• Compile
