Originally created by @Thokerb on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024).

ElectronNET.CLI Version: 23.6.2.0

Version:

.Net 6
Node.JS v18.18.2

Target:
electronize build /target win

When building the project with target win as portable and then trying to run it, the following error message is appearing.
There are no errors during building the application.
cannot find module '@socket.io/component-emitter'
After inspecting the created app.asar archive, the package is included.
When running electronize start, then the app is starting without problems.

Steps to Reproduce:

Run electronize build /target win
Try to start the portable executable
Error message cannot find module '@socket.io/component-emitter' appears

Reason:

This is related to the issue https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/8244 . I don't know the exact problem of the new electron-builder, but when switching back to version 24.13.3 of the electron-builder the application can start after building.

Intermediate solution:

Set electron-builder version to 24.13.3 locally

npm install -g electron-builder@24.13.3
npm link electron-builder

Proposed solution

Set a fixed version of electron-builder in the https://github.com/ElectronNET/Electron.NET/blob/main/src/ElectronNET.CLI/Commands/BuildCommand.cs#L201 to avoid unexpected behaviour in the future.
