Electron-builder: Error downloading electron-builder required tools files

Created on 25 Jul 2017  ยท  19Comments  ยท  Source: electron-userland/electron-builder


  • Version: 19.12.0


For some reason, the building process could not download winCodeSign, nsis-resources and other files automatically, always get timeout errors(maybe blocked by some wall). Could I just download the electron-builder-binaries zip from github or some other sites and extract to a specific folder so i can skip the download process when building my app? Thx

Zip file (92MB) to extract instead of tedios downloading: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0Bz3JwZ-jqfROc1FNT25FeTVoRWM

Or 7z archive (40MB) https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0Bz3JwZ-jqfRORjZTa3FPWUpJT0E

Hi,

I also face a similar problem.
I downloaded all dependencies from https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0Bz3JwZ-jqfROc1FNT25FeTVoRWM

keep that in my project/resources folder.
when I try to create and cache/electron-builder and cp to it I am getting following error

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/develar/Desktop'
How to fix this error

Thanks
Jk

@develar Could you please explain this question in detail?

where are these tool files should be put in ??

I use windows, and the files unzipped from the winCodeSign-2.4.0 which I downloaded manually are below:

_20190201174951

And in %LOCALAPPDATA%\electron-builder\cache, there's a winCodeSign directory, which files should I put into the winCodeSign directory?

And after put the right thing to winCodeSign directory, when I run npm run builder, will electron-builder still download the winCodeSign automatically?

Can you change these files to another storage location?Current storage locations are painful for Chinese developers

Gabrielkaliboy picture Gabrielkaliboy on 19 Jun 2019

In China , simply use command ELECTRON_MIRROR=https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/ npm run dist

thanx for the great efforts

I have solved this issue by

  1. Dont create seperate folder "nsis-resources" in cache directory
  2. Extracted "nsis-resources-3.4.1.7z" folder should be placed inside "nsis" folder inside cache directory
    C:\Usersxxx\AppData\Local\electron-builder\cache
    winCodeSign\winCodeSing-2.6.0
    nsis\nsis-3.0.4.1
    nsis\nsis-resources-3.4.0
