Electron-builder: Small Critical Error: Cannot download differentially, fallback to full download: Error: Maximum allowed size is 5 MB

Created on 12 Feb 2019  ·  15Comments  ·  Source: electron-userland/electron-builder


  • Version: 20.38.5

  • Target: Windows


Error: Cannot download differentially, fallback to full download: Error: Maximum allowed size is 5 MB.

This Error is only thrown for a private Github repository. If I set it to public again this error is not thrown. Probably a small bug somewhere... I cannot figure out whats wrong :disappointed:

I just got it to work by reverting electron-builder to version 20.38.0 and electron-updater to version 4.0.4. I'm not sure which was causing the problem.

I'm also getting this error. For some reason, it fails to download the difference between the current version and the latest one. And then resorts to downloading the entire app but in most cases, it's over 5MB so it fails due to the limit.

Same problem here with a Windows target and a private repo.

Any update on what might be causing this?

JamiesonRoberts picture JamiesonRoberts on 24 Apr 2019

I have reverted everything in my environment back as suggested above and I'm still getting this problem. I am using a private GitHub repo with GH_TOKEN set. Windows is the target. Both my current installation and my new update are built with the same configuration as below:

UPDATE: Despite the error ridden traceback below, it does appear to do the download. However, there seems to be some failure running the update -- the end result are zombie icons and the app itself appears to be uninstalled. I presume the update is done silently when you close the app??? I've never seen the auto-update work before.

electron: 5.0.0
electron-builder: 20.38.0
electron-updater: 4.0.4

My code is:

token: process.env.GH_TOKEN
});
autoUpdater.allowPrerelease = false; // Letting default errors on old releases without latest.yml files
autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify();

I believe it is fixed by increasing the maximum size allowed to 50MB.
But my file is 150MB so this is still an issue for me.
Why is there size limit? I'm sorry but I don't quite understand.

Now using 20.34.0 and the file is downloaded and installed properly despite errors.

Worked for me when i downgraded electron-updater to "3.2.3"

thank you @JonKelley88 it works

I just got it to work by reverting electron-builder to version 20.38.0 and electron-updater to version 4.0.4. I'm not sure which was causing the problem.

I was trying with latest version electron-builder publish 4 days ago 22.3.2 and [email protected] latest without succeed 2 weeks I am trying to see which version will work!
