Uncaught Exception: Error: Cannot find module './bin/electron.manifest.json'

Occurs after I copied linux build folder to Ubuntu and tried to run it. The error originates in the main.js when it cannot find this file (doesn't exist in linux build, nor does a bin folder). I didn't see any additional steps I'm supposed to take in the readme, but I suspect there must be something I missed.

I've seen this error on Windows when the C# part of the build process reported errors but they were buried far enough up in the build process that they weren't visible in the terminal, so the building/packaging appeared at first glance to have succeeded. Fixing the C# errors resolved the issue in those cases.

I was using the command line to "dotnet electronize build linux" and didn't see any errors. The windows build worked fine.

I'm having the same issue on Mac. Are there any workarounds?
