Building dist bundle for production without building Electron app

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When I run npm run electron:build --legacy --mac, the plugin creates a wonderfully operational /dist_electron/bundled folder, which works with CORS and remote execution from Electron.

However, when I run npm run build or vue-cli-service build, the bundled files contain errors related to fs.

I’d really love to see a npm run electron:build --bundle-only command. And in the meantime, if possible, some workaround.

Thank you so much for this life-saving project.

If you use npm run electron:build -- --linux dir it should only take a few seconds extra to build since it only needs to create the linux-unpacked build. I will add a --onlyBundle flag but for now you can just use the workaround.

I don’t think I’ll add a flag as the use case is pretty rare and all it will save is a few seconds. If you are happy with the current solution then I will leave it as is.
