Impossible to build with an electronic packer inside an electronic forge
I created a default e-forge project. When I try to package my project using a command electron-forge
, the process exits with the following error.
What am I doing wrong? I followed the instructions for the tee in electron-forge .
$ electron-forge package

It looks like the latest version of npm introduced a bug for the electron creation process. The problem is tracked here. Github problem
Try this workaround for a possible fix (untested):
rm -rf node_modules
npm install --production --ignore-scripts
npm install --no-save electron-rebuild --ignore-scripts
node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
npm remove electron-rebuild --ignore-scripts
Or downgrade your npm to less than 5.3 (tested, works).
npm i -g npm@5.2
