Issue setting S3 publish provider via Programmatic Access

This is probably a dumb question, so I’m sure it’ll get responded to quickly, but, just in case, I donated (video proof below)!

https://www.useloom.com/share/1f9a77069e9e4f01a03b16ae8748b031

• Version: 20.20.4

• electron-updater Version: 3.0.3

• Target: Windows (NSIS) and Mac (default - Zip + DMG)

When trying to publish the package to S3, I’m running into issues where the configuration seems to be wrong. This is the config I’m using (programmatic access):

await builder.build({
  mac:    ['default'],
  win:    ['nsis'],
  config: {
    appId:        APP_BUNDLE_ID,
    buildVersion: appVersion,
    directories:  {
      app:    './',
      output: './builds'
    },
    icon:        path.join(__dirname, './assets/application-icons/salmon-app.icns'),
    productName: name
  },
  publish: {
    provider: 's3',
    acl:      'public-read',
    bucket:   bucketName,
    region:   'us-west-1'
  }
});

Below is the error I’m getting. I’m not sure what I’m not setting. When I try to change the mac and win keys to any other data type (tried doing { win: { target: 'nsis', publish: ['s3'] } }), I get an error about the value not being iteratable. I can’t make out what I’m doing wrong based on the docs.

Set publish: “always” in the options object.

You can use config file as js — electron-builder.js You are not forced to use yaml or json.

@develar thank you! I did that and now the error is gone, but nothing is publishing. I can verify that my ~/.aws/credentials file exists but can’t seem to figure out why the publish step isn’t triggering. Is it perhaps because I haven’t passed in always as a publish option? I’m not sure where to put that in the programmatic API if that’s the case. I’ve bumped the version in package.json.
