Can't package with pkg module

It will result then following

> Warning Cannot include file %1 into executable.
  The file must be distributed with executable as %2.
  ..\node_modules\node-notifier\vendor\notifu\notifu.exe
  path-to-executable/notifier/notifu.exe

OS:windows 10

Not sure for Windows as I haven’t got around to it yet but you usually have to copy that .exe file to the folder where your pkg executable is built.

i.e. copy notifu.exe to path-to-executable/notifier/notifu.exe

For any Mac user who got here, it was slightly different and PKG wasn’t totally clear.

> Warning Cannot include file %1 into executable.
The file must be distributed with executable as %2.
node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/MacOS/terminal-notifier
path-to-executable/notifier/terminal-notifier

You copy the terminal-notifier executable to the location like it states but you also need to copy the following files to the same location

- node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/Info.plist
- node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/MainMenu.nib

So in the end you should have the following structure at your build folder.

- path-to-executable/app
- path-to-executable/notifier/terminal-notifier
- path-to-executable/notifier/Info.plist
- path-to-executable/notifier/MainMenu.nib

Doing the above worked for me and executed the notification from the built pkg file.

@normen I found a workaround:

You need to copy the necessary files into the path-to-executable dir, in my base bin/

cp node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/mac.noindex/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/MainMenu.nib bin/notifier
cp node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/mac.noindex/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/Info.plist bin/notifier
cp node_modules/node-notifier/vendor/mac.noindex/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/MacOS/terminal-notifier bin/notifier

Then you need to create your own notifier, using customPath:

const notifier = new NotificationCenter({ customPath: path.resolve() + '/notifier/terminal-notifier', });
