solid-start dev works, solid-start start does not

My program uses tesseract.js, and it works fine in dev mode as the title states. However, when I try to run it with start, I get the following error:

file:///home/user/code/fr33split/dist/server.js:17744
     workerPath: path.join(__dirname, '..', '..', 'worker-script', 'node', 'index.js'),
                           ^

ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined in ES module scope
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/home/user/code/fr33split/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

The error is easy enough to understand, but I can't figure out why it would not occur using dev. I also cannot find a solution to fix this. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
