Platform-specific build option targets ignored since 15.2.0

[belltown]

• 15.3.0:

• Linux:

I have scripts in my package.json file to build for different platforms. When building for linux, I can specify which target I want in the script. The script will only build for the one target I specify. At least it worked that way as far as the 15.1.1 release. From 15.2.0 onwards, it builds for all linux targets even though I only want one target build.

For example, if I run npm run dist-deb, I used to only get the deb target build. Now I get all the linux targets: AppImage, deb, and rpm.

Is there something I can change in my script to get back to the original behavior of specifying a specific build target option?

Here is my current package.json file:

You have

    "linux": {
      "target": [
        "AppImage",
        "deb",
        "rpm"
      ],

in your config. It means that Linux --linux will build specified targets.

But you explicitly specify target in the command line, so... it is bug.

That fixed it in 15.4.2! Thanks a lot for your help.
