Default screen when building app about electron-builder HOT 6 CLOSED

@dietlev

Still having problems here?
Will have a look at it today - if so.

Good morning ( in Belgium )
Yes, I still have the same issue. My app is finished, just the building part is not working properly.

Thanks in advance :)

Cool. 👍

But I shall still check https://github.com/dietlev/electron-build-demo ?

from electron-builder.

Yes, if that's working I can see where the actual app is going wrong

The problem appears already in electron-packager, right?
That's what I noticed - point is that you're missing a package.json in your app folder.

From the electron docs.

Main Process
In Electron, the process that runs package.json's main script is called the main process. The script that runs in the main process can display a GUI by creating web pages.

So with this package.json in root of your dummy demo project ( I updated also electron-packager )

{
  "name": "ElectronTest",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "electron ./app",
    "clean": "rm -rf ./dist",
    "clean:osx": "rm -rf ./dist/osx",
    "clean:win": "rm -rf ./dist/win",
    "build": "npm run clean && npm run build:osx && npm run build:win",
    "build:osx": "npm run clean:osx && electron-packager ./app LooplineSystems --out=dist/osx --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --version=0.25.3 --icon=assets/osx/loopline.icns",
    "pack": "npm run pack:osx && npm run pack:win",
    "pack:osx": "npm run build:osx && electron-builder \"dist/osx/LooplineSystems-darwin-x64/LooplineSystems.app\" --platform=osx --out=\"dist/osx\" --config=packager.json"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "electron-builder": "^2.0.0",
    "electron-packager": "^5.0.0",
    "electron-prebuilt": "^0.35.0"
  }
}

and this dummy package.json in app folder

{
  "name": "app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "MIT"
}

your demo app in development, the .app and .dmg run fine.

I'm closing here - feel free to reopen if you have still troubles.
