Pre-flight checklist

I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project uses.
I have searched the issue tracker for a bug that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Electron Forge version

6.4.0, 6.3.1 as well (older version did not test)

Electron version

29.3.0

Operating system

macOS 14.4.1 (tried on Windows, no issues, seems this is specific for macOS)

Last known working Electron Forge version

No response

Expected behavior

The package process should finish without an error and provide a successful macOS build.

Actual behavior

Below is the console output of the npm run package command that ends with an error without a successful build.

✗ npm run package

Steps to reproduce

I've been using NodeJS 20.9.0, NPM version is 10.1.0.

$ npm init electron-app@latest electron-experiments-vite-ts -- --template=vite-typescript
$ cd electron-experiments-vite-ts
$ npm i -S typeorm
$ npm run package

You will get an error posted in "Actual Behavior" section. I even have no idea why is it happening.
But once typeorm is removed (npm uninstall typeorm), now the build is successful. Kinda a "special" reaction on the typeorm.

Additional information

I did not specify the config files here, cos it is reproducible using a raw vite-typescript template without any modifications.
In fact, the files by those symlinks exist:

➜  electron-experiments-vite-ts git:(main) ✗ ls -l node_modules/typeorm/node_modules/.bin
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 ihor.levchenkoedisen.com  staff  24 Apr 11 20:44 glob -> ../glob/dist/esm/bin.mjs
lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 ihor.levchenkoedisen.com  staff  29 Apr 11 20:44 mkdirp -> ../mkdirp/dist/cjs/src/bin.js

➜  electron-experiments-vite-ts git:(main) ✗ ls -l node_modules/typeorm/node_modules/glob/dist/esm | grep bin.mjs

-rw-r--r--@ 1 ihor.levchenkoedisen.com  staff  14768 Apr 11 20:44 bin.mjs.map

Even in a temp folder:

➜  ~ ls -l /var/folders/cx/jfcxhpvd7pdb2q0bw3nzgwd40000gq/T/electron-packager/tmp-fiXHPP/Electron.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/typeorm/node_modules/.bin/

➜  ~ ls -l /var/folders/cx/jfcxhpvd7pdb2q0bw3nzgwd40000gq/T/electron-packager/tmp-fiXHPP/Electron.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/typeorm/node_modules/glob/dist/esm | grep bin.mjs
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 ihor.levchenkoedisen.com  staff   9754 Apr 11 20:46 bin.mjs
-rw-r--r--@ 1 ihor.levchenkoedisen.com  staff  14768 Apr 11 20:46 bin.mjs.map

Except typeorm, other packages also have symlinks from their .bin folder to the specific JS files:

➜ cd node_modules && find . | grep -i "node_modules/.bin/"
./normalize-package-data/node_modules/.bin/semver
./temp/node_modules/.bin/rimraf
./temp/node_modules/.bin/mkdirp
./eslint-plugin-import/node_modules/.bin/semver
./yarn-or-npm/node_modules/.bin/semver
./yarn-or-npm/node_modules/.bin/which
./typeorm/node_modules/.bin/glob
./typeorm/node_modules/.bin/mkdirp
./execa/node_modules/.bin/semver
./execa/node_modules/.bin/which
./electron/node_modules/.bin/semver
./global-prefix/node_modules/.bin/which
./@electron/get/node_modules/.bin/semver

➜  electron-experiments-vite-ts git:(main) ✗ ls -l node_modules/electron/node_modules/.bin
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 ihor.levchenkoedisen.com  staff  23 Apr 11 20:44 semver -> ../semver/bin/semver.js

Probably the issue is mostly related to the @electron/asar behavior, however, it is a part of the template vite-typescript that I'm using, so it is posted here.

NOTE: For the webpack-typescript there is no issue, it works as expected with typeorm. The problem happens only when vite-typescript template is used!

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Probably, this is the related issue #3549

I have the same issue with blow error.

Tried to update @electron/asar@3.2.10, but still not work.

Tried to update @electron/asar@3.2.10, but still not work.

It turns out that my issue is a problem with a specific package (optimization-js). After elimination of the package, build works well.
