autoUpdater event update-downloaded called with null

See original GitHub issue

Version: 22.9.1
Electron Version: 11.2.2
electron-updater Version: 4.3.5
Target: macOS (darwin 19.6.0),

On macOS I’ve couple times noticed that autoUpdater event update-downloaded hander was called with null. If it’s valid then it’s not documented.

code looks like this:

import { autoUpdater, UpdateInfo } from "electron-updater";
....
autoUpdater.on("update-downloaded", (updateInfo: UpdateInfo) => {
  console.log(updateInfo.version)
})

and the error like this:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'version' of null

    at c.emit (events.js:315:20)
    at c.EventEmitter.emit (domain.js:483:12)

@mmaietta Thanks for taking a look at this.

From the PR I would assume the issue would be constant and reproducible and it seams to be random… I do see it was published at v22.11.8 and we are art v22.11.7.

I’ll try to update and see if it still happens.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
