Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed on electron but it's fine on node js

I'm trying to load a custom module in electron written in D with node_dlang package, which is fine with node, but it fails within electron.

the test with node, that runs just fine, goes like this:

const nativeModule = require('./module.node');const assert = require('assert');assert(nativeModule != null);assert(nativeModule.ultimate() == 42);

But when I went to use it within electron.js, through the preload script, it returns in an error.

the preload script goes like this:

const {    contextBridge,    ipcRenderer} = require("electron");const nativeModule = require('./module.node');const assert = require('assert');assert(nativeModule.ultimate() == 42);function pageLoaded(){   // ...}window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', pageLoaded);

the error when I attempt to load the module within electron application is:

A JavaScript error occured in the browser process--------------------------- Uncaught Exception: Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

What's causing this and how do I fix this?

version

node version is: v14.17.0electron.js: v13.1.1

both are 64-bit.

the module source code goes like this:

import std.stdio : stderr;import node_dlang;extern(C):void atStart(napi_env env){    import std.stdio;    writeln ("Hello from D!");}int ultimate(){    return 42;}mixin exportToJs! (ultimate, MainFunction!atStart);

it's compiled with dub command line. No arguments.

UPDATE 1 Do I need to rebuild this module? I found this but it didn't work for me either. I installed the electron-rebuild package by npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild and rebuild with .\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd -v 13.1.1 the command ran fine but I still got same error.

UPDATE 2: inside the console, I clicked in the javascript source code file link in the error message (from the exception) it points to this line of code, where there's this comment saying that:

no static exports found

what does that mean? is this related to the methods in D class? they're marked as public... not sure if related
