Packaging is taking 15+ minutes on windows because of fast-glob bin deletion.

Pre-flight checklist

• I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
• I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project uses.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a bug that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Forge version

7.7.0

Electron version

26.6.10

Operating system

Windows 11 (10.0.22631)

Last known working Forge version

No response

Expected behavior

electron-forge package only looks for bins to delete in the path.join(buildPath, '**/.bin/**/*').

Actual behavior

electron-forge package seems to be looking into the cwd instead of the passed path to look for the bins to delete.

forge/packages/api/core/src/api/package.ts

Line 235 in aee077f

const bins = await glob(path.join(buildPath, '**/.bin/**/*'));

Although the buildPath seems to be correct fast-glob seems to be starting at cwd.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new Forge app with e.g. npx create-electron-app@latest test-app --template=vite-typescript
2. Optionally add a bunch of dependencies since this is more pronounced the more dependencies you have.
3. Run npm run package

I'm closing this as it was PEBCAK. Somehow there was a self reference to the project in the package.json.

Thanks for the update @JellyO1!
