Unable to build windows installer #56

mistermoe · 2016-04-02T18:56:25Z

development package.json has the following:

  "build": {
    "app-bundle-id": "com.datafiniti",
    "app-category-type": "public.app-category.visual-scraper",
    "iconUrl": "build/icon.ico"
  },

  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "install-app-deps",
    "pack": "build --platform=all",
    "dist:win": "build --platform=win32"
  }

when running npm run dist:win i run into the following error:

Packaging app for platform win32 x64 using electron v0.37.3
Error: Failed with exit code: 1
Output:

Please set DEBUG env to electron-windows-installer:* to get debug log.

mistermoe · 2016-04-02T19:18:46Z

thanks for the quick response. I'm running into this error through electron-builder.

so i just set up a test winstaller script:

"use strict";

var electronInstaller = require('electron-winstaller');

var resultPromise = electronInstaller.createWindowsInstaller({
    appDirectory: './app',
    outputDirectory: './test',
    authors: 'My App Inc.',
    exe: 'myapp.exe',
    description: 'test description'
  });

resultPromise.then(() => console.log("It worked!"), (e) => console.log(`No dice: ${e.message}`));

and then ran: DEBUG=electron-windows-installer:* node win_installer.js

and i run into the following:

electron-windows-installer:main Using Mono: '/usr/local/bin/mono' +0ms
electron-windows-installer:main Using Wine: '/usr/local/bin/wine' +0ms
No dice: Cannot read property 'description' of null

not too sure what description its referring to. I've got it defined in the object being passed to windowsInstaller as well as my app's package.json

I'm running into this error through electron-builder.
i just set up a test winstaller script:

electron-builder passes a lot of options, so, it will be better just to enable debug logging and then provide log here, without test script. I am sure that it is a electron-builder issue.

develar · 2016-04-02T19:42:03Z

@havenchyk Please note — original issue about "Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid." I suspect that it is an electron-builder bug and want a debug log to see nuspec file.

do the src attributes of the file XML Elements require a more specific path?

for example:

 <file src="resources/**" target="lib\net45\resources" />

does src need to be ./path/to/packaged-win32-x64/resources/* or does the script that attempts to build the package from xxxx.nuspec run with ./path/to/packaged-win32-x64/ as it's current working directory?

develar · 2016-04-02T20:35:42Z

Bingo — iconUrl must be an URL. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/master/docs/options.md#user-content-#BuildMetadata-iconUrl

mistermoe · 2016-04-02T20:36:47Z

ah! stupid mistake on my part. sorry about that. Thanks!

develar · 2016-04-02T20:38:17Z

@mistermoe Well, it is not your stupid mistake, but *** windows design issue :( electron-archive/grunt-electron-installer#73 mentioned in the docs and I hope it will be fixed someday.

havenchyk · 2016-04-02T20:53:13Z

Maybe it makes sense to throw an exception and prevent handling on the start?

lukeapage · 2016-04-03T06:51:34Z

Good idea ;)

develar · 2016-04-03T07:07:47Z

@havenchyk electron-builder already check setupIcon (because windows *** tools throw unclear cryptic messages) and iconUrl check will be also checked.

This issue appears to have been resolved in this thread, iconUrl must be a URL (think http / https)
