• Electron Version:
  • 17.1.2
• Operating System:
  • Ubuntu 20.04 x64

Expected Behavior

Building Win32 packages from my Ubuntu machine (with Wine installed) using electron-packager . --platform=win32 --out=./builds Should get me Win32 artifacts in the ./builds folder.

Actual Behavior

Building Win32 packages from my Ubuntu machine (with Wine installed) using electron-packager . --platform=win32 --out=./builds results in error message: Unsupported GLOBAL_AGENT.HTTP_PROXY configuration value: URL protocol must be “http:”. The error originated from global-agent which is an optional dependency of @electron/get.

To Reproduce

1. find a Linux machine, create an empty nodeJS project, setup a barebone package.json
2. put the following in package.json “devDependencies”: { “electron”: “^17.1.2”, “electron-devtools-installer”: “^3.2.0”, “electron-packager”: “^15.4.0” }
3. try npx electron-packager . --platform=win32 --out=./builds, you shoule see the error message
