My project is an ASP.NET MVC Web Application in .NET 5
Here is my electron.manifest.json file

{
  "executable": "Bsr",
  "splashscreen": {
    "imageFile": ""
  },
  "name": "Bsr",
  "author": "Aykut DEMİRCİ",
  "singleInstance": true,
  "environment": "Production",
  "build": {
    "appId": "com.Bsr.app",
    "productName": "Bsr",
    "copyright": "Copyright © 2020",
    "buildVersion": "0.0.8",
    "compression": "maximum",
    "directories": {
      "output": "../../../bin/electron"
    },
    "extraResources": [
      {
        "from": "./bin",
        "to": "bin",
        "filter": [ "**/*" ]
      }
    ],
    "files": [
      {
        "from": "./ElectronHostHook/node_modules",
        "to": "ElectronHostHook/node_modules",
        "filter": [ "**/*" ]
      },
      "**/*"
    ]
  }
}

When I ran the electronize build /target win command, at the end of the process, neihter electron executable file nor setup exe file are creating. Also, although the output directory is ../../../bin/electron in my electron.manifest.json file, Electron, extracts the files to /obj/desktop/win/bin directory.

I don't know why. Before today, It was working normally. Maybe I do something wrong.

ElectronNET.API 11.5.1
ElectronNET.CLI 11.5.1
.NET 5

Here is my StackOverflow question maybe could help

And here is another StackOverflow question about same issue asked before mine
