Electron asar Error 'ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE

Question

I have a problem with electron asar, when I use the command asar extract app.asar source-code, in the resource folder of the compressed electron application, I get a source-code folder, which contains 10 files without extension, with a name made of numbers and letters, like '2c038301f4fd0f66706f18083669f6494d16e47f5a7931c2dbba8a674e8e`. I mostly get an error on the terminal side

node:buffer:363
    throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE.RangeError('size', size);
    ^

RangeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The argument 'size' is invalid. Received 4.614001365766979e+307
