Having problems getting my autoUpdate to work. Note that I'm pointing at a github repository that is different than the one in the .git/config.

Tried switching to s3 today and had the same result.

[ianjennings]

Was previously [email protected] and fixed by downgrading to [email protected].

[szTheory]

I'm also getting this error with 7.1.1 and Github Releases.

Same here. This issue should not be closed.

[jkhoel]

also getting this, [email protected] and [email protected] against a GH repo

Getting it on both build version as well as development version using dev-app-update.yml

[lutzroeder]

@nornagon @MarshallOfSound @codebytere @ckerr this is the same issue as electron/electron#21566. It's a regression in Electron 7.1.3 in how aborted redirect requests are handled that broke updates for all apps using electron-updater.

[sidneys]

also getting this bug.

[lyswhut]

I also getting this error in electron 7.1.5 and electron-builder 22.1.0.

[burtonator]

Is there a fix for this? I'm dead in the water and can't push releases. This should not be closed.

[newCodeRunner]

Also getting this windows 10, electron 7.1.5

[agata]

Also getting this mac OS, electron 7.1.6

[lgqaozora]

I also getting this error in electron 7.1.7 , electron-builder 22.1.0, windows 10.

[lucasboinet]

Is there any solution ? or we have to downgrade electron version ? or any alternative ?

[szTheory]

Looks like a fix might have been merged into master. Seems important enough to warrant a regression test for. Not sure what the process is to get it backported to 7 and released. https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/ed6a3877a438c1109692a387cef97c21cb3cab3c

[kemuri]

Having the same issue with
"electron": "^7.1.4",
"electron-builder": "^21.2.0",
"electron-updater": "^4.2.0",
"update-electron-app": "^1.5.0"

Any solutions beside downgrading 6.x?

[lutzroeder]

See electron/electron#21566 for details. The regression was introduced in 7.1.3 so downgrading to 7.1.2 should work.

[kemuri]

Thanks, 7.1.2 worked perfectly! :)

[nornagon]

Electron v7.1.8 should have the fix to this issue.

[agata]

I've checked it on macOS, Windows and Linux. It works fine.

• Electron v7.1.8
• electron-builder v22.2.0
• electron-updator v4.2.0

Looks like that's not a bug in electron / the updater itself. So try to check your updater configuration. Like the repo name for example

It's all correct, I copy pasted it from github itself. The weird thing is, if i go into the browser and just type it in manually, that is "api.github.com/repos/tytech3/repoanme/releases/latest" i still get not found. Triple checked spelling and everything.

I have a GH_TOKEN set on my machine environment variables as well. Any ideas on what to try next?

It's hard to find a bug without seeing the code.
I suggest you to open a new thread on stackoverflow with your code.
