Error while packaging with electron-builder

Hi,

I am running into a issue while packaging the app for distribution using electron-builder. (macOS) While the electron-releases#v10.0.0-wvvmp-beta.25 is specified in my Dependecies in package.json:

"devDependencies": { "electron": "https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases#v10.0.0-wvvmp-beta.25", "electron-builder": "^22.8.0" }

yarn or npm is still crashing on following:

" ⨯ cannot resolve https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v10.0.0-wvvmp-beta.25/electron-v10.0.0-wvvmp-beta.25-darwin-x64.zip: status code 404"

It is obviously trying to connect to the official electron GitHub repo and download the fork from there. Any idea how to fix it ?

Best regards, Ondrej

I can’t remember exactly but I think they moved this option at some point. Anyway, you need to include it under build in your package.json and add an extra v compared to the above URL. E.g. something like this:

{
  "name": "MyApp",
  ...,
  "build": {
    "electronDownload": {
      "mirror": "https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases/releases/download/v"
    },
    ...,
    "afterPack": "build/after-pack.js",
    "afterSign": "build/after-sign.js"
  }
}

It might work with environment variables too, but I’ve not tested that.

Emil, yet again you are absolute lifesaver. The “v” and the end of the url was the issue (And I can see why now…).
