Error while packaging a JavaScript file not in a subfolder

See original GitHub issue

Im getting this error after I package my app and then try to run it:

Uncaught Exception:
Error: Asked for ...Path/App.app/Contents/Resources/app/main.js but it was not precompiled!
    at FileChangedCache.getHashForPathSync (...Path/out/App-darwin-x64/App.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/electron-compile/lib/file-change-cache.js:249:15)

Any idea onto why this is happening?

@AhadCove Your JS files must be inside a directory (not just sitting in the top level of your app). I.e. If you move main.js to be somewhere like src/main.js and update your package.json accordingly the packaged version will work.

/cc @malept We should probably catch this issue ourselves

Sadly, it’s not. I’m going to keep picking away at it though. I definitely like the idea of forge though so I may be back when I get this figured out. Thank you for everything
