Auto updater with s3 provider on a private bucket fails on electron 7.1.1.

See original GitHub issue
  • Version: 21.2.0
  • electron: 7.1.1
  • electron-updater: 4.2.0
  • Target: macOS 10.15

Autoupdate with s3 fails.

autoUpdater.on("checking-for-update", () => {
  log.info(updateLog, "Checking for update...");
  let opts = {
    service: 's3',
    region: 'us-west-1',
    host: 'abc.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com',
    path: process.platform === 'win32' ? '/latest.yml' : '/latest-mac.yml'
  }
  aws4.sign(opts, {
    accessKeyId: ACCESSKEY,
    secretAccessKey: SECRETKEY,
  })
  autoUpdater.requestHeaders = opts.headers
});
autoUpdater.on("error", (ev, err) => {
    log.error(updateLog, "Error in auto-updater: ", err);
});

package.json

"build": {
    "publish": {
      "provider": "s3",
      "region": "us-west-1",
      "bucket": "abc",
      "acl": "private",
      "channel": "latest",
      "encryption": "AES256",
      "publishAutoUpdate": "true"
    },
  },

This prints:

[info] [AUTOUPDATE]  Checking for update...
[error] [AUTOUPDATE]  Error in auto-updater: Cannot check for updates: Error: net::ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
[info] Handle rejected promise (Error: net::ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT) here.

Works fine with:

  • Version: 21.2.0
  • electron: 6.0.4
  • electron-updater: 4.2.0

Happy to contribute if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks

This is still broken on electron 8. Is there no way to use s3 with acl:private with updater? Thanks

I am using S3 with acl: private electron: 8.1 electron-updater: 4.2.4 target: nsis (windows 10)

I am setting the headers with aws4 signing and aws-sdk: {Host: s3.region.amazonaws.com, 'X-Amx-Content-Sha256': XXXXXXXX, 'X-Amx-Date': 'YYYYMMDDTHHddmmZ', Authorization: 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=XXX, SignedHeareds=XXXX, Signature=XXXX'}

I have been doing some reading and everything points to changes introduced in how Electron implements net from version 7.

electron-updater using electron’s net: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/c01b7c0b55d3466b826ea9cc9a11ad34118801c1/packages/electron-updater/src/electronHttpExecutor.ts#L54

I guess some agument passed in “options” is not valid, and we get the error in auto-updater: ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
