Symlinks in asarUnpack are not copied
See original GitHub issue- Version: 15.2.0
- Target: Linux x64
With the asarUnpack option, it is possible to specify directories. The symlinks in those will not be copied in the app.asar.unpack/ destination folder.
I think we can see here that only files are added to the array filesToUnpack, and that no symlink will be added to filesToUnpack.
