Unable to build on windows with 22.10.5

[danatcofo]

• Version: 22.10.5

• Electron Version: 11.1.1

• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: windows

Building on an Azure DevOps build server. I have 2 builds and the only difference between a working and an non-working is the electron-builder version and that its a Windows target. The macos target builds fine.

working: electron-builder 22.9.1
not working: 22.10.5

here are the outputs. I'll truncate the stacktrace as it doesn't really have any value being repetative.

Happy to get this fixed asap. I'm not sure why istextorbinary is failing.

Can you create a minimum repro repo for this? Such as with electron-quick-start? It'd help a lot in debugging further locally.

[danatcofo]

Yah I'll spend some cycles on this in the morning. Much rather not be version locked.

[danatcofo]

So I've been working at this all day and basically came down and recreated the environment locally after trying to recreate with the electron-quick-start, electron.net source and my local project that is failing.

and nothing.... it works, it just simply works...

I have no idea why its working. however notably the only real difference in the ouput between local and the build server is the downolading of the files. locally, using my same commands I get no downloads of 11.1.1, winCodeSign, nsis or nsis-resouces, but the build server IS doing thos downloads during the electron-builder call

Powershell output locally, notice the lace of downloading calls.

  ΓÇó building block map  blockMapFile=Y:\repos\prefix-app\dist\stackify-prefix.exe.blockmap
Y:\repos\prefix-app\src\prefix-app\obj\desktop\win>
... done

So, I'm kind of stumped here. feels more and more like I've got some weird edge case I should be able to tinker around with to get working.

any thoughts?

[mmaietta]

Hi @danatcofo, I'm honestly sure why the downloads would fail for electron-builder on local but not on the build server. It does indeed seem like an edge case.

Curious, if you change the electron version, would it still fail? Can you run with DEBUG=electron-builder and post what the logs throw out?

[AllinolCP]

I have a same issue on Mac while using this with github actions, any idea on how to fix this? (electron 11.3)

[vangberg]

I have the same issue on macOS with electron 12.0.1 and electron-builder 22.10.5. I would be happy to give @mmaietta access to the repo, if that helps.

[mmaietta]

Many thanks all for confirming the different electron + electron-builder versions, I appreciate it.
I'm working on setting up my Windows gaming machine for development so I can test this further.

[vangberg]

FWIW my issue was fixed by upgrading from Node 13.8.0 to 15.12.0.

[juwonjung-hdj]

I have same issue when packing on electronuserland/builder:wine docker image with electron 12.0.1 and electron-builder 22.10.5.
Downgrading electron-builder version to 22.10.4 resolved issue.

Stack trace when build failed is following.

[F-fengzi]

Same thing happened for me, Travis CI, 22.10.5
Just updated to NodeJS 16.0 I'll try downgrading it.

Thankfully this was fixed for me after downgrading NodeJS from 16.0.0 to 15.14.0.

On Mac arm64 this is happening too.
It looks like a node v16 incompatibility just before the signing process
