Building for Windows on MacOS using Docker container

• Version: 7.18.0

• Target: Windows 64

I’m trying to build for Windows from my macOS using the Docker container provided (electronuserland/electron-builder:wine). Everthing works great building for Linux, but when I tried to build for Windows, throw an error:

Error: Exit code: 1.

The steps to run the container and build are these:

1. Run: docker run --rm -ti -v /my/folder/project:/project -v ~/.electron:/root/.electron electronuserland/electron-builder:wine /bin/bash
2. Run inside the container: npm run build:win64 (equals to build --win --x64)

Am I doing something wrong?

How did you install Docker? Parallels and VMWare are broken. Please use only latest official Docker for mac (https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/mac/#/docker-for-mac). Please do not use Docker Toolbox.
