Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.

[erg]

On WSL Ubuntu, I'm trying to run this in Chrome 108.0.5359.125 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable).

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.
    at decodeWasmBinary (http://localhost:3000/static/js/bundle.js:1598:18)
    at http://localhost:3000/static/js/bundle.js:1591:16

My code is just the example code:

import argon2 from 'argon2-browser';
const hashIt = async (email, password) => {
    const res = await argon2.hash({ pass: 'password', salt: 'salt' });
    ...
}

Some of the code in question is below:

  function loadWasmBinary() {
    if (global.loadArgon2WasmBinary) {
      return global.loadArgon2WasmBinary();
    }
    if (true) {
      return Promise.resolve(__webpack_require__(/*! ../dist/argon2.wasm */ "./node_modules/argon2-browser/dist/argon2.wasm")).then(wasmModule => {
        return decodeWasmBinary(wasmModule);
      });
    }
    const wasmPath = global.argon2WasmPath || 'node_modules/argon2-browser/dist/argon2.wasm';
    return fetch(wasmPath).then(response => response.arrayBuffer()).then(ab => new Uint8Array(ab));
  }

  function decodeWasmBinary(base64) {
    const text = atob(base64);
    const binary = new Uint8Array(new ArrayBuffer(text.length));
    for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
      binary[i] = text.charCodeAt(i);
    }
    return binary;
  }
