To Reproduce

Follow this tutorial.

Additional Information

I’m having a problem building two projects (shell and shell-kiosk) where I followed the same process as the tutorial linked to above. I think I’ve narrowed the problem down to electron-packager because the example in the tutorial no longer builds successfully on build.snapcraft.io where it did before.

My assumption is that something has changed in electron-packager which is causing the build to fail. I am able to get the build to work locally by changing the line:

cp -v -R ./webian-shell-kiosk-linux-$ARCH $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/webian-shell-kiosk

to

cp -v -R /root/parts/webian-shell-kiosk/build/shell-kiosk-linux-$ARCH $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/webian-shell-kiosk

but with this change the build still fails on the snapcraft build server with the same error as before.

Has there been some change to where the command:

electron-packager . --overwrite --platform=linux --arch=$ARCH --output=release-build --prune=true

will output to?

For more information, see my post on the Snapcraft forums.

Apologies if this has nothing to do with electron-packager and I’m barking up the wrong tree.

As of Electron Packager 14.1.1, proxy support is always enabled when using the CLI (#1077).
