Electron package fails to load native module dynamically

[khakra]

Version: 4.2.6

Short overview

A simple electron app that just moves mouse to co-ordinate (100,100) when started.

Issue occurs on

• Dev/Host system

node version: v23.9.0

OS type and version: MacOS

Detailed error description

Error: Could not dynamically require "/Users/xyz/work/my-app/electron-app/out/my-app-darwin-arm64/my-app.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/build/libnut.node". Please configure the dynamicRequireTargets or/and ignoreDynamicRequires option of @rollup/plugin-commonjs appropriately for this require call to work.

Full code sample to reproduce

main.ts looks like -

const { keyboard, Key, mouse, Point, straightTo, centerOf, screen } = require("@nut-tree-fork/nut-js");
mouse.move([new Point(100, 100)]);

Additional content
The electron app works fine when started using npm run start, but once a package is created using npm run package and then the binary is directly run, the app fails with below error -

Error: Could not dynamically require "/Users/xyz/work/my-app/electron-app/out/my-app-darwin-arm64/my-app.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/build/libnut.node". Please configure the dynamicRequireTargets or/and ignoreDynamicRequires option of @rollup/plugin-commonjs appropriately for this require call to work.

Please provide any (mandatory) additional data to reproduce the error (Dockerfiles etc.)
The app uses electronforge to simplify the packaging

Hi @krusadellc 👋

this problem most likely stems from missing/wrong config when bundling the application.

Did you look into the suggestion outlined in the error message?

[khakra]

yes, I already tried dynamicRequireTargets, ignoreDynamicRequires, extraResources, etc. Nothing seemed to help :(

[s1hofmann]

Can you link a repo?
And which OS are you using?
