Pkg: App closes silently when cross-pakging from MacOs to Win and logging with pino

Created on 20 May 2019 · 6Comments · Source: vercel/pkg

Hello,

i would like to cross-pkg an app from MacOS for Windows. In the app i'm using pino as logging module. When i start the app on CMD, the app opens up and closes silently with no log output at all.

I've made a sandbox script:

const pino = require()'pino'

console.log('Setting up  pino ...')

const log = pino({ level: 'debug', name: 'main' })

log.info('Initializing...')

process.on('error', err => console.error(err))

This command i use to pkg:

pkg -t node10-win-x64 -o ./pkg_test_win package.json

Pkging the same script on windows, it works fine.

Am i doing something wrong?

Greetz and thanks in advance,
Christian

Coincidentally I just noticed today that my issue #686 also applies on macOS, so the two are duplicate/related :)

My issue is cross-packaging from Linux to macOS/Windows

For now I've reverted to pkg 4.3.8 which seems to work fine.

I have the same problem when trying to use commander.js. When cross-packaging a simple commander.js app from macOS to Windows binaries, I get no output. When packaging from Windows to Windows binaries, everything works.
