Electron app name or productName ignored

The package.json name and productName field doesn’t get read and the app name is always Electron even if the property is set, because the npm run dev script calls this: node .electron-vue/dev-runner.js which spawn electron on this line and probably (but I’m not sure since I’m still a noob) doesn’t set the root folder where package.json lives…

This is what I came up after some searches… is this correct?

I was reading something about this and I found this comment which explains something similar: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/3391#issuecomment-155606143

Temporary i’m using this to set the correct userData path:

path.join(app.getPath('userData'), `../${pkg.name}`)

Same issue here, and I also think it’s a bug.

@p418, shouldn’t the workaround be this instead?

import {app} from 'electron'
import path from 'path'

const {build} = require('../../package.json')
const appData = app.getPath('appData')
app.setPath('userData', path.join(appData, build.productName))

Sorry, I realized that my previous code isn’t working (didn’t tried befeore submiting).

Try this one:

import {app} from 'electron'
import path from 'path'

const {build} = require('../../package.json')
const originalUserData = app.getPath('userData')
app.setPath('userData', path.join(originalUserData, build.productName))
