  • Version: 19.35.1
  • Target: Linux AppImage

I am trying to use the electron-updater to implement auto-updates for Windows, Mac, and Linux Electron Apps on Ubuntu 14.04 system. When I was building the win32 target and Mac target, the app-update.yml and latest.yml(latest-mac.yml) are all generated successfully. But when I am trying to build Linux target, none of these two files(app-update.yml, latest-linux.yml) was generated in build/linux-unpacked/resources and build , and so when I run the released app, the auto-updater doesn't work, the ERROR log is:

~/Code/Orthodontic-assistant/Orthodontic-assistant-front-end/build(feature/auto_update*) » ./dental-assistant-0.0.1-x86_64.AppImage                                hviktortsoi@l430

I'm sure that the target is Linux AppImge(using the default option), so the solution in #2498 doesn't work for me....

My build comman is:
DEBUG=electron-builder:* npm run build -- --linux

Same here (electron-builder 20.38.5).

Edit:
The app-update.yml seems to be skipped if there are no publish options specified for the build target, so, adding some placeholder values allowed me to bypass said issue.

Why is this closed? This is a severe bug!

We most likely ran into the issue described by @negativalpha on 20.44.4
