Electron-builder: Proxy authentication error for nsis download

[Samuel3]

• 20.2.0:
  
  
• win x64:
• Execution Plattform: win 10 x64
• node version: v.9.7.0
• npm version: 5.6.0

I using electron in a company behing a proxy. I have set npm to use proxy and it works. But when I try to run electron installer it tries to download nsis without proxy and this fails. What can I do to make electron builder to use proxy?

• package.json:

[develar]

Please try 20.3.0.

I'm using electron-builder 20.3.1 and still getting the same error:

[develar]

Please try to run with env NO_PROXY=*

[Samuel3]

I tried to use your setting, but in our company it is impossible to directly access the internet, so this does not work. What I need is to provide the proxy credentials (username and password) to the download programm.

[deka]

Electron build downloads (nsis, winCodeSign) not working behind enterprise proxy : npm proxy settings are not used.
No way to use npm proxy settings ? (.npmrc ...)

[alexlee-dev]

I have the same question. Corporate proxy.

[JamesDwyer364]

I only want to be not hated please anyone that has ongoing business
proceedings within iam has my full blessings to proceed

[cynx]

is there a way to download electron-builder-binaries and make electron-builder point to same?

[alexlee-dev]

@cynx Yes.

So far, this is the workaround that I've found:

1. Try electron-builder command (either publish, or dist. It shouldn't matter, you'll be getting an error either way.)
2. Wait for the error to stop the command.
3. The log will show the URL for the file that electron-builder was trying to download. Copy the URL and open it in a browser to download manually.
4. Create a folder in your project directory called cache.
5. Unzip the files and place in the cache folder.
6. Run the command again, this time with the following environment variables: ELECTRON_CACHE=%cd%\\cache and ELECTRON_BUILDER_CACHE=%cd%\\cache. (_Note: The %cd% is a Windows way to get the directory from powershell. This may not work with Mac. Try looking at cross-env for easy environment setting in all systems. https://www.npmjs.com/package/cross-env_)
7. This will run the command but point the builder to your cache directory. It may throw an error about the file not existing. If this happens, it means you may need to unzip the file into the folder (look for the error log to see what the file/folder should be named).
8. Success!

If you are trying to do this for different operating systems, you'll need to do the same for the other binaries. Be prepared to get errors, but the errors will tell you what the filenames should be.

Feel free to message me for help.
