Cannot use native modules when asar is enabled

Just Like the image.I run this in dev type is very ok. But When I package it, something go wrong....

Thanks for filing an issue! In order to help you with your problem, we're going to need more information about it. In particular:

• Console output when you run electron-packager with the environment variable DEBUG=electron-packager. Please include the stack trace if one exists.

• What command line arguments are you passing? Alternatively, if you are using the API, what
  parameters are you passing to the packager() function?

• What does your package.json look like?

• Please provide either a failing minimal testcase (with code) or detailed steps to reproduce your
  problem. Using electron-quick-start is a good starting point.

Sorry, so late to provide these info.
the config.

module.exports = {
	appVersion: pkg.version,
	arch: ['x64'], // ia32, x64, armv7l, all
	asar: true,
	dir: path.join(__dirname, '../app'),
	icon: path.join(__dirname, '../app/icons/icon'),
	ignore: /renderer/,
	out: path.join(__dirname, '../builds'),
	overwrite: true,
	platform: process.env.PLATFORM_TARGET,
	extraResource: [ 
		path.join(__dirname, '../app/mind/mind_darwin'), 
		path.join(__dirname, '../app/mind/mind_win32.exe')
	]
}

And I solved this problem after I remove the asar: true (default: false) opt on Windows.
I've read a lot of issue. Maybe this should not be the electron-packager's duty.
I'm not sure.But Windows is really confusing.
Thx. @malept

This is a known issue with asar and native modules, and also why I hesitate to make asar default to true.

I'm facing the same problem, I think the native module should be copied beside the asar file not the temp folder, and the require should be able to load the node module outside the asar file.

set --asar.unpack=*.{node,dll} in command line or set asar: { unpack: '*.{node,dll}' } in config object will do the trick.

set --asar.unpack=*.{node,dll} in command line or set asar: { unpack: '*.{node,dll}' } in config object will do the trick.

I tried the same config, but I am getting the same issue, but this time it is not referencing the temp folder.
Please check this link for the details.

Thanks
