Not all files in /app are packaged

• Version: 19.20.1
• Target: win

This is my app folder that should be being packaged:

/root/app

/root/app/dist

When I turn off asar packaging, and run the command build --win --x64 --ia32 --dir, it appears that not all files are packaged up. This is what the dist directory looks like:

/root/dist/win-unpacked/resources/app

So basically, it’s missing the dist folder.

Has something changed in electron-builder since v18.6.2 that may have caused this? Up until recently, this hasn’t seemed to be a problem.

There’s nothing crazy going on in the development/project package.json as far as I’m concerned, but here are the relevant parts in any case:

"build": {
  "appId": "myapp",
  "asar": false, 
  "artifactName": "${name}_${os}_${arch}-setup.${ext}",
  "mac": {
    "category": "public.app-category.business"
  },
  "nsis": {},
  "publish": [
    {
      "provider": "generic",
      "url": "http://myapp.com/downloads"
    }
  ]
}

Bug: !dist{,/**/*} is added, but it is incorrect in case of “Two package.json structure is used”.

So it excludes any subfolder in the output directory that matches the output directory’s name? This seems nonsensical, is undocumented and should be considered a bug in my opinion.
