Might be related: #7729

[mmaietta]

Not sure what changed, as it sounds related to your build/CI environment changing, not electron-builder internally.

Also looking at #7729 (comment) and your error log

shell: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.EXE -command ". '{0}'"

You should be using powershell.exe from what the linked comment states

[stoefln]

@mmaietta interesting, thanks for your comment! Somehow I missed that obvious part! Even more interesting: I am not calling pwsh.EXE myself, it seems to be called automatically when this command is executed: npm run package:win
The npm script contains this: electron-builder build --win --x64 --publish never --config electron-builder.json

Now I tried to eliminate the npm script call and directly pasted the line into the action. Like this:

      - name: Build App
        run: |
          ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --publish never --config electron-builder.json -w ${{ steps.config.outputs.build-args }}

However, the error stays the same. It seems github just defaults to pwsh.EXE.

[stoefln]

Solved!
I don't know if you consider this an electron-builder bug. But it took me many frustrating hours to find a solution.

This works:

- name: Build App
        shell: powershell
        run: |
          ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --publish never --config electron-builder.json -w ${{ steps.config.outputs.build-args }}

Glad to hear you got it resolved!
