I've successfully built node.js addon, which works well with Node on Windows. Now, I want to create a Windows app using Electron. When loading the module in HTML file, I got the error:

var dbr = require('./build/Release/dbr');

enter image description here

Something wrong with ATOM_SHELL_ASAR.js. enter image description here

The issue only occurred on Windows. On Linux and Mac, it worked well.

How can I fix it?

Thanks!

You need to rebuild your native Node addon for Electron, the steps are outlined in the docs.

  • I have rebuilt the module for Windows, and it's working now. Could you explain why I don't need to rebuild the module for Linux and Mac? Thanks. – yushulx Mar 17 '16 at 01:55

I'm using Electron 2 version and have the same error with another module.

I solved this problem by this advise on Electron page: To ensure your native dependencies are always matched electron version, simply add script "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps" to your package.json.

And then I changed: "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps && npm run lint:fix". Then npm run postinstall.
