Steps to Reproduce:
Performing a regular build with
fails since the BuildCommand seems to pass invalid CLI arguments to
electron-builder.I'm getting the following output:
Please note how the
BuildCommandpasses arguments forplatformandarchtoelectron-builder, both don't seem to be supported.I've also noticed that the BuildCommand performs a global installation of
electron-builderon each run, which results in always using the latest version. This seems very prone to similar errors like this due to future breaking changes inelectron-builder.Would it be possible to simply install
electron-builderlocally with a fixed version? That should also solve the problem of it not working on Linux. If you're OK with that, I'd be happy to provide a PR.Btw, this is currently totally blocking for me and I don't have any workarounds😊
@fabio-basedev commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2019):
Hi! I have same problem! Its the first time that I trying Electron.NET and I can't generate executable of my application...
@GeorgDangl, changing to old version will work?
@GeorgDangl commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2019):
@fabio-basedev, as far as I can tell, an older version won't help you either since it's internally calling the
electron-buildernpm package, which is always installed in the latest version:)@denisHordienko commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2019):
I think the problem with https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-builder version 21.* if update command "npm install electron-builder --global" to "npm install electron-builder@20.44.4 --global" application will be created as usual
@denisHordienko commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2019):
@GeorgDangl steps for a workaround
@GeorgDangl commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2019):
@denisHordienko, thanks for the input!
I've created PR #289 with the fix. Looking forward to feedback!
@fabio-basedev commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2019):
Awesome! Here works like a charm!
Thanks!
@robalexclark commented on GitHub (Jul 12, 2019):
Arghh - I can't use this fix as I'm building my releases on Azure DevOps. Any ideas when a fix will be applied to the nuget packages / Electron.net global tools?
@GeorgDangl commented on GitHub (Jul 12, 2019):
@robalexclark, it's the same for me in my CI builds. I think you could do automate the replacement for the changed binaries in the CI environment, but that's a route I wouldn't want to go😉
@robertmuehsig, @GregorBiswanger, do you have an ETA for how fast you can merge this PR and create a new release? If you're not available, I can upload a fork with the fix to NuGet to be used as temporary workaround.
@GeorgDangl commented on GitHub (Jul 12, 2019):
Hey guys, I've uploaded a temporary package with the hotfix: ElectronNET.CLI-hotfix.
You can install it via
and just use
electronize-hotfixinstead ofelectronize. I've just tried it in one of my CI builds, I've been able to generate the app, so everything seems to work for now.@GregorBiswanger commented on GitHub (Jul 12, 2019):
@GeorgDangl Thank you very much for your support!
We will gladly accept your PR. I think additional NuGet packages would only irritate.
For the new version, however, I have time until next week.
@rakista112 commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2019):
I can't seem to make this work. I still get the error

Unhandled Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (The given key 'target' was not present in the dictionary.)UPDATE: the hotfix worked in CMD. I used the original electronize and it had this bit at the end.

@robalexclark commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2019):
Hi - Any news on when updated nuget packages and tools will be published? My CI pipeline is not longer continuous...
@GeorgDangl commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2019):
Hi @robalexclark, I‘ve published the ElectronNET.CLI-hotfix Package on NuGet last week, see my comment a few posts above. You should be able to use this in the meantime.
@GregorBiswanger commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2019):
Hey Community,
my wife was operated on the knee and my son has a high fever today. Next week Thursday I will have full time for Electron.NET again and I will get a new update going.
@GeorgDangl commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2019):
Hey @GregorBiswanger, no worries, sometimes there are more important things. Thank you for the great work you're doing with Electron.NET, I really appreciate it!
@rakista112 commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2019):
@GregorBiswanger I agree with @GeorgDangl , family comes first.
@rakista112 commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2019):
RESOLVED
@GeorgDangl I'm currently using your hotfix as Chrome doesn't open using the original electronize.
With your hotfix, Chrome opens and my javascript runs but I encountered a problem during startup.
This error regarding service worker registration comes up in the console.
Is there a fix for this?

@GeorgDangl commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2019):
Hi @rakista112, unfortunately, I have no idea what's causing this. All I did was create a NuGet package that includes PR #289 and released it. Do you have any idea where the relevant bits of the code are? I'm not yet familiar with the Electron.NET codebase.
@rakista112 commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2019):
RESOLVED
@GeorgDangl oh it seems to be caused by my Vue build. Nothing to do with Electron. I'll just mark my comments as resolved.
@GregorBiswanger commented on GitHub (Jul 26, 2019):
I implemented the support for the newest electron-builder.
The next update 5.22.14 will support it.
