Cannot cleanup: TypeError: Cannot read property 'provider' of null
See original GitHub issue- Version: 22.4.0
- Target: MacOS default
Trying to run minimal setup:
# in an empty directory
npm init --yes
npm install --save-dev electron electron-builder
echo "console.log('foo')" >> index.js
npx electron-builder
I get the following (formatted as output by electron-builder, some personal data censored):
• electron-builder version=22.4.0 os=18.7.0

The same happens with some basic project configuration (appId, name and icon) and a proper electron application. It seems some publish configuration is either mandatory despite what the docs say or mishandled. Considering I did not specify any publish options, I don’t think that part of the code was supposed to run in the first place.

I managed to get around this error with specifying publish to be null.
