Electron-builder: Unsupported provider: undefined

[JarekSour]

• Version: 19.35.1

• electron-updater: 2.10.1
  
• Target: Win

Hi there, when i execute my app i get this error "[error] Error: Error: Unsupported provider: undefined"

i clean my code and this error is throwed by autoUpdater.checkForUpdates();

[develar]

Do you use NSIS or Squirrel.WIndows?

[JarekSour]

@develar uhmm, apparently not

@develar hi again, Yes, i'm using NSIS.

i have somethink like that "nsis": {"perMachine": true } , is necessary add other config or in other way ??

[develar]

It seems that publish configuration during build was not correct. Or GitHub repository must be, or explicit publish configuration. Please set env DEBUG=electron-builder. On Windows the environment variable is set using the set command. set DEBUG=electron-builder And build app again.

i set the env var, and i get the same, i can build the app and push it to github, the only problem is the updater, i test with a new app

@JarekSour I just faced this issue. I had to add a file dev-app-update.yml with the following content

version: 1.15.0
provider: generic
url: https://update-server/win

[JarekSour]

@arjun-g thanks!!, now i know why i get the provider error, but you are using "setFeedURL" ??? because i get this next error

[JarekSour]

finally i set my dev-app-update.yml

provider: github
token: TokenGithub
owner: nameAccount
repo: nameRepoProyect

Thanks to all!!
