App-update.yml is missing in NSIS builds

See original GitHub issue

Version: electron-builder: 20.3.1 electron-updater: 2.21.0 electron-publisher-s3: 20.2.0

Target: NSIS

Notes Error from logs: No such file or directory, open C:...\resources\app-update.yml. I’ve read a lot of related issues, but still suffer from this issue on windows with NSIS target. For mac with default target file is created successfully.

My build config:

productName: PRODUCT_NAME,
appId: APP_ID,
artifactName: '${productName}.${ext}', // eslint-disable-line no-template-curly-in-string
directories: {
	app: paths.dist(),
	buildResources: paths.project('resources-pack'),
	output: paths.outputs(),
},

// OSX paltform:
mac: {
	icon: BETA ? 'icon-beta.icns' : 'icon.icns',
	publish: {
              provider: 's3',
              bucket: 'mybucket',
	      path: `desktop/macos`,
              region: 'us-east-1',
        },
},
dmg: {
	...
},

// Windows platform:
win: {
	icon: BETA ? 'icon-beta.icns' : 'icon.icns',
},
nsis: {
	publish: {
            provider: 's3',
	    bucket: 'mybucket',
 	    path: `desktop/windows`,
	    region: 'us-east-1',
        },
},

Hello, I have this problem, I do everything in the documentation, now I did it like that, but even so it keeps saying that there was no finder “app-update.yml” when the Build was generated, I don’t know what else to do. I’m using Linux x64

The issue was fixed by adding publish property to win config. But publish is not available in win according the docs. Even though, providing publish to nsis must be enough for successful creation of app-update.yml for nsis target
