Building on Windows fails with Update.com Error Code

[framerate]

Running npm run dist on windows exists with the following error:

\node_modules\electron-winstaller-fixed\vendor\Update.com failed with exit code: 4294967295

npm run pack works just fine. I'm trying to create an MSI and work towards windows autoupdating.

Running the latest Windows Technical Preview, in case that matters. Tried both @latest and @3.11.0 suggested in #366

Please attach node_modules/electron-winstaller-fixed/vendor/SquirrelSetup.log.

Assuming this is the relevant part:

2016-05-10 19:33:06> Unhandled exception: System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.ValidationException: Description is required.

Apparently a blank package.json description shits the bed. I fixed that and now I get 2016-05-11 19:55:42> Unhandled exception: System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.

EDIT: Found it, http icons only for windows. Weird

[develar]

Weird, but it is Windows :( Reopened — must be checked on our side, not on *** Windows *** tool.

[framerate]

Gotcha. Let me know how I can help!

We have the same issue, the strange thing is that all worked until yesterday...
@framerate what does it means "EDIT: Found it, http icons only for windows. Weird"?
I'm using https:// for the icon URL. is this the problem?

[develar]

@marcopiraccini The same error in the node_modules/electron-winstaller-fixed/vendor/SquirrelSetup.log?

[marcopiraccini]

Here, on Windows 7 32 bit. Yesterday it worked!

[marcopiraccini]

(Indeedm the file 'C:\app\dist\win\TestApp-0.1.6-full.nupkg' does not exists...)

[develar]

@marcopiraccini As a workaround, set electron-buidler version to 3.20.0. Does it help?

(Indeedm the file 'C:\app\dist\win\TestApp-0.1.6-full.nupkg' does not exists...)

What exists? Please list files.

[marcopiraccini]

Under "win"? Nothing.
In the xxx-win32-ia32 there is all the working application

[marcopiraccini]

Is electron-builder nos supporting ia32 anymore? 079989a#diff-6456376d7ed2e6f2d66ffc860e13af6eR55

[develar]

@marcopiraccini Fully supported, it is just a warning. Try to set version to 3.20.0 until your issue is not fixed.

[marcopiraccini]

The same. Also with 3.17.0 (which used to work 3 days ago!)
It seems something broke on a recursive dependency.

(tried again, forgot the caret in dep, with "electron-builder": "3.17.1", works)

[develar]

@marcopiraccini Reproduced. Fix will be soon. Our test suite didn't check ia32 and error was not catched during CI run.

[marcopiraccini]

Tnx very much :)

[develar]

@marcopiraccini BTW, may be you can just migrate to x64 ;)?

[marcopiraccini]

I cannot, ia32 it's a requirement :(

[marcopiraccini]

@develar Tested with v3.22.1, but I have the same problem :(

[marcopiraccini]

Summarizing, Windows 7 ia32, using (main package.json, not the app one):

    "electron-builder": "^3.22.1",
    "electron-prebuilt": "^0.37"

build --platform=win32 --arch=ia32 -> Creates the xxx-win32-ia32 folder. Ok
build --platform=win32 --arch=ia32 -d -> Creates the folders in the image:

...with win-ia32 empty, and win-ia32-unpacked with this content:

...then the nupkg is not created and the subsequent Squirrel releasify fails.

[marcopiraccini]

(why this is not labelled as "bug"? )

[develar]

@marcopiraccini Because this issue about "Apparently a blank package.json description shits the bed. " Please try version 3.26.0 and open new issue in case of error (and please attach Squirrel log file and output).

[L3V147H4N]

Still doesn't work on 3.26.3
Just keep getting Update.com failed with exit code: 4294967295
Only pack works
