--asar-unpack = "./node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/**" not working

See original GitHub issue

whadup!!!

part of my package.json:

  "devDependencies": {
    "coffee-script": "^1.10.0",
    "electron-rebuild": "^1.0.2"
  },

Executing on a Mac

electron-packager   ./app/ \
    "App Name" \
    --platform="darwin" \
    --arch="x64" \
    --version="0.34.3" \
    --out="dist/osx" \
    --icon="./assets/osx/icon.icns" \
    --app-bundle-id="com.app.name" \
    --app-version="0.0.1" \
    --ignore="node_modules/(electron-packager|electron-prebuilt)" \
    --prune \
    --asar \
    --asar-unpack="node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/" \

Even though I use the option ‘prune’ and the option ‘ignore’ on the node modules “electron-packager”,“electron-prebuilt”, ‘app.asar.unpacked’ is NOT created

@Asar reported issue @node-notifier reported issue

Okay, I’m sorry to say this but, why the fuck did you bother to help me in the first place if you don’t know a lot about asar? Can you forward this issue to someone who’s more familiar with asar? Or can you tell me at least where to look, so I can try to fix it my self? The least you can do is setting the asar dependency version to ‘0.8.3’ (the latest), you’r currently using ‘0.6.1’… There is a great chance that will help…

Since there hasn’t been a response to whether --unpack-asar-dir solved the issue in some time, I’m closing it. If the problem still exists, please feel free to reopen.
