electron-builder@25 crashes if electron-builder.env exists

[Dozorengel]

• Electron-Builder Version: 25.0.0 - 25.0.5

• Node Version: 20.17.0

• Electron Version: 31.4.0
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: mac, windows

If there is electron-builder.env (even empty), any build command throws an error with the following stacktrace:

❯ npx electron-builder
  ⨯ require(...) is not a function  failedTask=build stackTrace=TypeError: require(...) is not a function
    at loadEnv (/Users/dozorengel/projects/glabix-screen-recorder/node_modules/read-config-file/src/main.ts:140:27)

If I delete this file, build is working fine. The latest working version is 24.13.3

I'll take a look at this asap. There's other issues appearing with the updated dependency read-config-file, so I may have to just copy the logic directly into electron-builder for more control of the implementation.

Looks like it's failing at this line

require("dotenv-expand")(parsed)

[mmaietta]

Quick note: I've extracted read-config-file into electron-builder, updated dotenv-expand in this PR #8455 and was unable to reproduce the issue, so hopefully that was just a simple fix.

+1 same here

This should be fixed in electron-builder 25.1.2, can you please give that a shot?
