Avoid the double dash when passing command line arguments to the app

I noticed that once the app is packaged, command line arguments must be passed after a double dash: $ ./myApp -- --arg1 --arg2

On Windows, I even noticed that you need to add it twice: $ ./myApp.exe -- -- --arg1 --arg2

Is there a way to avoid this behaviour in order to use a simple $ ./myApp --arg1 --arg2 instead?

Which version of electron-packager are you using?

"electron-packager": "^5.2.1"

What CLI arguments are you passing? Alternatively, if you are using the API, what parameters are you passing to the packager() function?

Please see: https://github.com/brrd/Abricotine/blob/845b4016bda252ea6f58846c63cf7529c169314b/scripts/packager.js#L42

What version of Electron are you building with?

"electron-prebuilt": "^0.35.0"

What is the host platform are you running electron-packager on?

Linux Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bits. I could not try it on OS X.

What target platform(s)/architecture(s) are you building for?

Same as above.

Is there a stack trace in the error message you’re seeing?

None.

Please provide either a failing testcase or detailed steps to reproduce your problem.

Download one of the provided binaries: https://github.com/brrd/Abricotine/releases/tag/0.2.2

And run:

• $ ./Abricotine --debug => not working
• then $ ./Abricotine -- --debug => working (the Debug menu appears)

Any solution for this issue?

I don’t think this is an Electron Packager specific issue. You’ll have better luck getting support from one of the community forums: https://electronjs.org/community
