Electron Forge packaging configuration not working

I am trying to package my application with using the electron-forge package

following configuration:

"config": {
  "forge": {
    "make_targets": {
      "linux": [
        "deb"
      ],
      "win32": [
        "squirrel"
      ]
    },
    "electronPackagerConfig": {
      "asar": false,
      "dir": "./src",
      "platform": [
        "linux",
        "win32"
      ],
      "arch": [
        "ia32",
        "x64"
      ],
      "ignore": [
        ".idea"
      ]
    }
  }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

The version electron-forge

I am using is 3.0.1.

Only values asar

and are ignore

recognized, and dir

, platform

and are arch

ignored. I see no error and really appreciate help, hint or link to any working example.

Update:

It has since been suggested here to use the command line to provide these options.

While

electron-forge package --arch=ia32,x64 --platform=win32,linux

      

        
        
        
      

    

makes this app for all specified systems, although the output looks like this:

✔ Checking your system
✔ Preparing to Package Application for arch: ia32,x64
✔ Compiling Application
✔ Preparing native dependencies
✔ Packaging Application
✔ Preparing to Package Application for arch: x64
✔ Compiling Application
✔ Preparing native dependencies
✔ Packaging Application
✔ Preparing to Package Application for arch: armv7l <-- ???
✔ Compiling Application
✔ Preparing native dependencies
✔ Packaging Application
✔ Preparing to Package Application for arch: x64
✔ Compiling Application
✔ Preparing native dependencies
✔ Packaging Application

      

        
        
        
      

    

It looks like it doesn't really need to package the app for architecture armv7l

as it says there, I think this is just a bug with the console output, the results in the output directory look good.

Anyway .. providing packaging options via the command line does not solve my original problem, because I still cannot specify an option dir

for electron-packer

that way. So, while the documentation for electronPackagerConfig

assumes that all parameters for electron-packer

can be set using this config object:

This config object provides parameters directly to the e-package, the tool we use to package your application behind the scenes.

And although it electron-forge package --help

says that I can set the current working directory after the parameters:

Usage: electron-forge-package [options] [cwd]

      

        
        
        
      

    

This is not actually the case, it just sets the directory out

where everything is written.

I still stick with it. Is there a way to provide the option dir

via electron-forge

? Otherwise, my suggestion to the developers electron-forge

was to implement the config for this in such a way that my initial config from above would work, because I believe this is an intuitive way of setting these parameters using the command line for Perhaps overriding them might be an option ...
