electron-updater latest.yml added to my generic server url

• electron-builder Version: 22.6.0

• Electron Version: 8.2.5
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• electron-updater Version: 4.3.1

• Target: Linux and Windows

I’m using electron-updater when I try autoUpdater.setFeedURL(http://localhost:3000/update/${process.platform}/${app.getVersion()});. when I tried to make a request to my hazel custom update server as response it throws this exception:

Error: Error: Cannot find channel "latest.yml" update info: HttpError: 404 Not Found
"method: GET url: http://localhost:3000/update/win32/1.5.2/latest.yml?noCache=1e9l4bis0\n\nPlease double check that your authentication token is correct. Due to security reasons actual status maybe not reported, but 404.\n"

So I just need to remove the /latest.yml?noCache=1e9l4bis0 from the URL and everything should be fine. Does someone know how to do this ?

I added a route to my custom server instead. Election updater needs latest.yml to check if the update needs to take place. So thae file should be available from the generic server.
