Rocket.chat.electron: Rocket.Chat doesnt open after building and installing

[timololipop]

Hey,

when I start the App via "yarn start" it opens and it's usable. When I do "yarn release" everything works fine and the exe's are in the dist folder. But when I go through the installer and want to start it after it is installed successfully, nothing happens. Dont got any errors in the CMD window while building.

I've faced some issues with this aswell, for me the following procedure worked:

• git clone the master branch
• change line 15 of the rollup.config.js from development to production (const NODE_ENV = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'production';)
• change the "yarn release" command at the package.json at line 27 from onTagOrDraft to never, so the electron-builder does not try to upload any files. ("release": "yarn electron-builder --publish never --x64",)
• run "yarn" to build the node modules
• run "yarn build" to build the app
• run "yarn start" or "yarn release" to test or release the app

  It worked.
  Thank you very much!

I've faced some issues with this aswell, for me the following procedure worked:

* git clone the master branch

* change line 15 of the rollup.config.js from development to production (const NODE_ENV = process.env.NODE_ENV || '**production**';)

* change the "yarn release" command at the package.json at line 27 from onTagOrDraft to never, so the electron-builder does not try to upload any files. ("release": "yarn electron-builder --publish **never** --x64",)

* run "yarn" to build the node modules

* run "yarn build" to build the app

* run "yarn start" or "yarn release" to test or release the app

Same problem here, in addition, i have add package cross-env and create two scripts in package.json:

Dependency for environment variables in script execution.

"cross-env": "^7.0.3"

Production (I think "start" command run per default after packaging, need confirmation)

"start": "run-s clean build:watch"

Development:

"dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development run-s clean build:watch"

i have tested and the result created two files in:

C:\Users\YOU_USERAppData\Roaming

Rocket.Chat and Rocket.Chat(development). Before, the production file has empty.

This was the solution i found, i don't know if it is the best, but it solved it. I hope I have helped you in something. Sorry for the english.
