publish does not work with generic provider

See original GitHub issue

Electron-Builder Version: 22.14.5

Node Version: v14.15.1

Electron Version: 11.0.1
Electron Type (current, beta, nightly):

Target: NSIS Winx64

When provider is set to generic and following macro is invoked electron-builder build --win --x64 --publish always electron builder does not emit any request to the web server

Provider looks to be configured correctly, since app is trying to get updates from the server when launched:

"publish": [
      {
        "provider": "generic",
        "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/apps/My First App"
      }
    ],

[13/Dec/2021 10:46:37] "GET /api/apps/My%20First%20App/beta.yml?noCache=1fmpivgae HTTP/1.1" 200 448

Looking at the source code seems publish functionality for generic provider is not implemented at all 😦

...
/** @internal */
  scheduleUpload(publishConfig: PublishConfiguration, event: UploadTask, appInfo: AppInfo): void {
    if (publishConfig.provider === "generic") {
      return
    }

    const publisher = this.getOrCreatePublisher(publishConfig, appInfo)
...

This should be correct, as it is up to the developer to upload the dist files manually.

Okay, sounds good.

I tested with the electron-quick-start-typescript project
