Small Critical Error: Cannot download differentially, fallback to full download: Error: Maximum allowed size is 5 MB

• Version: 20.38.5

• Target: Windows

Error: Cannot download differentially, fallback to full download: Error: Maximum allowed size is 5 MB.

This Error is only thrown for a private Github repository. If I set it to public again this error is not thrown. Probably a small bug somewhere… I cannot figure out whats wrong 😞

I just got it to work by reverting electron-builder to version 20.38.0 and electron-updater to version 4.0.4. I’m not sure which was causing the problem.

[grantcv1]

I have reverted everything in my environment back as suggested above and I’m still getting this problem. I am using a private GitHub repo with GH_TOKEN set. Windows is the target. Both my current installation and my new update are built with the same configuration as below:

UPDATE: Despite the error ridden traceback below, it does appear to do the download. However, there seems to be some failure running the update – the end result are zombie icons and the app itself appears to be uninstalled. I presume the update is done silently when you close the app??? I’ve never seen the auto-update work before.

electron: 5.0.0 electron-builder: 20.38.0 electron-updater: 4.0.4

"nsis": {
  "installerIcon": "images/LegisPro.ico",
  "installerHeaderIcon": "images/LegisPro.ico",
  "createDesktopShortcut": true,
  "license": "LICENSE.txt",
  "oneClick": false,

    "vPrefixedTagName": true,
    "private": true,
    "releaseType": "draft"
  }
}

My code is:

autoUpdater.setFeedURL({ provider: “github”, owner: “Xcential-Corporation”, repo: “LegisPro-Sunrise”, token: process.env.GH_TOKEN }); autoUpdater.allowPrerelease = false; // Letting default errors on old releases without latest.yml files autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify();
