[20.10.x] "icon directory [...]/build doesn't contain icons" when targetting linux/deb/x64

• Version: 20.10.5

• Electron Version: 12.0.0
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: linux/deb/x64

Getting a build failure of electron-builder trying to load icons:

⨯ icon directory /home/avi/projects/electron-app/build doesn't contain icons
github.com/develar/app-builder/pkg/icons.CollectIcons
        /Volumes/data/Documents/app-builder/pkg/icons/collect-icons.go:73
github.com/develar/app-builder/pkg/icons.doConvertIcon
        /Volumes/data/Documents/app-builder/pkg/icons/icon-converter.go:191
github.com/develar/app-builder/pkg/icons.ConvertIcon
        /Volumes/data/Documents/app-builder/pkg/icons/icon-converter.go:66

My config is fairly simple:

{
  "appId": "com.test.electron-app",
  "productName": "electron-app",
  "directories": {
    "output": "./build"
  },
  "files": ["node_modules", "dist"],
  "asar": false,
  "linux": {
    "target": [
      {
        "target": "deb",
        "arch": ["x64"]
      }
    ]
  },
  "win": {
    "publisherName": "Test",
    "target": [
      {
        "target": "nsis",
        "arch": ["x64"]
      }
    ]
  },
  "mac": {
    "target": [
      {
        "target": "dmg",
        "arch": ["x64"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

v22.9.1 is the last working version when it doesn’t fail because of the icons. Needless to say, I don’t have any icons that I’m trying to set.

Nice catch. Will fix this asap.

@AviVahl looks like the problem was on my side. I had assets/icons folder with some images and when I changed the name of the directory everything worked smoothly.

Thank you for your help. Looks like this issue can be closed.
