Hi all,
I’m trying to create mac/win/linux installer for theia electron app starting from theia repository using electron-builder tool.
Just to start from easiest scenario, I decided to create an unpackaged app.
Since theia seems to be a two package.json structured project, I follow these steps:
-
git clone https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia & cd theia-master -
yarn install -
yarn add -W --dev eclipse-builder -
yarn rebuild:electron -
created electron-builder.yaml in repo root folder
-
added script line
“dist”: “electron-builder”to package.json in repo root folder -
finally,
yarn run dist
After last step, successfully mac app is generated under root dist folder.
The problem is that when I try to start the generated app I got a dependency error: not found fix-path at src-gen/font-end/electron-main.js line 7.
Digging a bit, fix-path is in the dependencies of yarn.lock file and I found fix-path module correctly installed in node_modules of repo root folder (dev context of a two package.json project), but not in the node_modules of /examples/electron app folder (app context of a two package.json project)
My electron-builder.yml file has these main lines:
asar: false
directories:
buildResources: buildResources
app: examples/electron/lib
extraResources:
- from: plugins
to: app/plugins
Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance,
Regards
