Botframework-emulator: Emulator auto-upgrade issue - no such file or directory

[vishwacsena]

Hit this issue when I clicked on check for updates in Emulator.

Emulator version prior to upgrade: 4.1.45083.

Note: After this error, Emulator seems to have successfully downloaded the upgrade package and was able to install it via 'reboot to update' option.

So is this the correct sequence of events?:

1. Checked for update
2. Displayed error
3. Went back to Help menu and the option changed to "Restart to update" which you then clicked and was successful?

@tonyanziano - that's correct. Also saw this on my Mac OS.

Ok thanks, I'll check it out.

FYI I'm reproing

My version was a nightly: 4.2.x

I have been trying to repro it and was only able to successfully repro once after deleting the __update__ folder within the app data folder.

I looked at the stack trace and it just seems to be an issue inside of the electron updater, but it doesn't end up stopping the update process, and I was able to successfully update after dismissing the error.

Since it is caused by a dependency and doesn't lead to any issues, I'm thinking we should just swallow the error if we detect it.

Trying to get a more consistent repo though so I can test the behavior of a potential fix.

I'm not able to repro this consistently. We can revisit if we get more reports of this behavior.
