grunt-electron-installer's Issues

Application's icon disappears after a few autoupdates.

Does this happens to anyone else? The icon on Desktop and in the Taskbar are appearing correctly after installation, but sometimes after a few updates they are disappearing an showing the empty file icon.

grunt task fails with: File not found: 'MyAtomShellApp.exe'

Why is the task not finding the exe file in the appDirectory? The exe DOES exist in the appDirectory ../bin/app/win32/atom-shell/resources/app.

It fails with this message:

$ grunt
...
Running "create-windows-installer" task
>>File not found: 'MyAtomShellApp.exe'.
Warning: Command failed: File not found: 'MyAtomShellApp.exe'.
  ...
Aborted due to warnings

Here are my files:

    ]

My app has this folder structure:

  index.js
  package.json
  Gruntfile.coffee

Can't create Desktop and Start Menu Icon

Can someone point in the right direction?

I've built the installer and I'm able to run the app, I just can't figure out how to create the shortcuts.
It seems the code will go in the squirrelCommand switch in my main .js file, can anyone show me an example?

Thanks!

Error: Unable to read resources\app\package.json

When I run grunt create-windows-installer I receive the following error:

Running "create-windows-installer:x64" (create-windows-installer) task Warning: Unable to read "F:\app\build\my-app-64\resources\app\package.json" file (Error code: ENOENT). Use --force to continue.

Here is my Gruntfile.js...

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-clean');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-electron-installer');

  grunt.initConfig({
    'create-windows-installer': {
      x64: {
        appDirectory: 'build/my-app-64',
        outputDirectory: 'build/installer64',
        authors: 'My Company',
        exe: 'myapp.exe'
      },
      ia32: {
        appDirectory: 'build/my-app-32',
        outputDirectory: 'build/installer32',
        authors: 'My Company',
        exe: 'myapp.exe'
      }
    },
    'clean': [ "build" ]
  });
}

I'm a little confused as to why this this task is trying to find package.json in resources\app? I don't actually have a resources directory. My package.json file sits beside my Gruntfile.js in F:\app.

Thanks for any help :)

Command path generated is too long, can't create installer

I'm not sure how everyone else has been able to get theirs working, but I've been completely unable to get this going. Using Windows 7, x64, MSVS 2013 Express Desktop. When running grunt create-windows-installer, I get the following when building the installer for my robopaint project:

>> The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
Warning: Command failed: C:\rpb\node_modules\grunt-electron-installer\vendor\nuget.exe pack C:\Users\TECHNI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\squirrel-installer-115620-7836-vbwmay\robopaint.nuspec -BasePath C:\rpb\out\Robopaint-win32

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
 Use --force to continue.

I suspec that AppData as the temp location may be to blame for path character bloat, but wow the mere fact that there's a limit sure is annoying. I did find this:

Maximum Path Length Limitation

In the Windows API (with some exceptions discussed in the following paragraphs), the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. A local path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, name components separated by backslashes, and a terminating null character. For example, the maximum path on drive D is "D:\some 256-character path string" where "" represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage. (The characters < > are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string.)
Note File I/O functions in the Windows API convert "/" to "" as part of converting the name to an NT-style name, except when using the "?" prefix as detailed in the following sections.

The Windows API has many functions that also have Unicode versions to permit an extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters. This type of path is composed of components separated by backslashes, each up to the value returned in the lpMaximumComponentLength parameter of the GetVolumeInformation function (this value is commonly 255 characters). To specify an extended-length path, use the "?" prefix. For example, "?\D:\very long path".
Note The maximum path of 32,767 characters is approximate, because the "?" prefix may be expanded to a longer string by the system at run time, and this expansion applies to the total length.

The "?" prefix can also be used with paths constructed according to the universal naming convention (UNC). To specify such a path using UNC, use the "?\UNC" prefix. For example, "?\UNC\server\share", where "server" is the name of the computer and "share" is the name of the shared folder. These prefixes are not used as part of the path itself. They indicate that the path should be passed to the system with minimal modification, which means that you cannot use forward slashes to represent path separators, or a period to represent the current directory, or double dots to represent the parent directory. Because you cannot use the "?" prefix with a relative path, relative paths are always limited to a total of MAX_PATH characters.

Makes me think if we initiate this command with \\?\ this wouldn't be an issue? Hmm.

I've tried setting the global npm tmp via npm config set tmp "C:\tmp", but it didn't seem to actually change it when the script runs. Any ideas?

Issue with prereleases coming from nuget.semanticversion

So we're trying to build prerelease versions with names like 3.2.1-RC4, but nuget semver is throwing weird errors where it strips out most of the version number.

Now, in nuget's semver specs it says soemthing like 3.2.1-RC.4 is not allowed, but something without the period in the component after the - is. This module is even splitting on that -, and removing all of the periods in the tailing component of the version to match that. It appears however that they're somehow stripping down everything before the -, and then their semver parse is stripping off the text before numbers. Is this a known issue (with nuget, squirrel, grunt-electron-installer, or commonly in end-user code)?

Continuou Integration

Hi guys,

There's any possibility to integrate grunt-electron-installer with some Continuous Integration service for Continuous Delivery purposes?

Thank you.

Description option is required

I have error "Description is required." After I added descriptions in package.json, everything is ok.
It's not very important, but...

Generated version it's not correct

I have an app that it's on version 0.1.112 all was fine until i updated to latest version, the instaler generated App-0.1.112-full.nupkg (older version) for newest version is generating App-0.1112-full.nupkg and this is because of this line

metadata.version = metadata.version.replace(/.(\d+)$/, '$1');

Allow different styles of signing parameters

I'd like to be able to sign with a key already installed on our build machine, which requires a different set of arguments than certificateFile and certificatePassword arguments can account for.

Any objections to adding a signWithParams argument that just gets passed through to squirrel? Should I deprecate and/or remove certificateFile and certificatePassword at the same time?

The alternative for me would be adding keystoreName and certificateName arguments (corresponding to /s and /n arguments to signtool.exe, respectively).

Preferences?

I have double and triple checked and there is no process running that could be the cause of this (at least not before running grunt)

Any ideas?

Setup.exe error dialog

i run grunt create-windows-installer
after a couple of minutes it says Done, without errors
but when i go to the output folder, there are the normal three files as expected, the RELEASES, .nupkg and .exe
when i execute the setup.exe file, it shows an error dialog saying:
This is a dummy update,exe, if you are seeing this, your build did not correctly replace the IDR_UPDATE_ZIP resource.
Command Line: '--install.'

i don´t know if this is really an issue or i missing something obvious, but i´m kind of noob at this and i don´t know where else ask for a little help

this is my task config:

'create-windows-installer': {
x64: {
appDirectory: '/Portafolio/PortafolioSinapsis-win32-x64',
outputDirectory: '/build/installer64',
authors: 'Sinapsis-innovation',
remoteReleases: 'https://github.com/Sinapsis-Innovation/Portafolio-Sinapsis',
exe: 'PortafolioSinapsis.exe'
}
},

Thanks for your help

Squirrel not found

Hi,

I'm developing a windows application with electron, everything works fine but when I try update the app with the electron auto-updater module I receive a error "Squirrel not found".

What i'm missing?

Is possible use electron auto-updater module with this package?

squirrel.exe and Update.exe, which one can be depended on by my app?

After installation, there are 2 files -- <installation_dir>\Update.exe and <installation_dir>\app-x.y.z\squirrel.exe -- installed, and seems the same.

Why both of them exist? which one can be executed by my app (I want to use it to create shortcuts)? Are they guaranteed to exist in future versions of grunt-electron-installer?

Add an option to not create MSI installer.

There is --no-msi option in Update.exe and if it's already working it would be nice to add it to the README.md.

Can't create installer on 0.36.0

My configuration:

'create-windows-installer': {
      appDirectory: _path.join('C:', 'projects', 'desktop', 'build', 'releases', 'win32', 'ia32', 'HackHands-win32'),
      outputDirectory: _path.join('C:', 'projects', 'desktop'),
      authors: 'HackHands',
      setupIcon: _path.join('C:', 'projects', 'desktop', 'fixtures', 'icon.ico'),
      remoteReleases: 'http://desktop.hackhands.com.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/win/'+channel,
      loadingGif:  _path.join('C:', 'projects', 'desktop', 'fixtures', 'hh-logo-process.gif')
      //exe: 'HackhandsSetp.exe'
    },

And the output:

Nothing happens running installer exe when app is already installed

When the app is already installed and the user tries to run the installer again, nothing happens. This has been confusing for a few of the testers in our app.

Could the installer display a dialog to let them know it's already installed or even just launch the app?

Or is it possible to handle this ourselves within the squirrel events handles?

about SyncReleases

I use remoteReleases in grunt config but nothing happens.

then i try call SyncReleases.exe directly

C:\Users\11399\Documents\GitHub\maotama\node_modules\grunt-electron-installer\vendor\SyncReleases.exe -u https://github.com/mycard/maotama-win32 -r C:\Users\11399\Documents\GitHub\maotama\release

and then i only got a empty RELEASE file.

the repo: https://github.com/mycard/maotama-win32

Configurable copyright string for installer executable

I'd suggest using the package.json "license" value like it does with other details for the installer executable.

"System.IO.IOException: Process cannot access the file" during build.

Upon running "grunt create-windows-installer" I get the following error:

I have made sure the output directory is not in any cloud-syncing folder, and even run the command-line in administrator mode but no luck. I have tried putting the output file somewhere completely different on my computer but that didn't work either.

I am running Windows 8 64-bit.

Yontoo.C?

When I try to npm install --save-dev grunt-atom-shell-installer, my Symantec virus scanner quarantines vendor/Setup.exe as containing "Yontoo.C". See: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2014-040317-4040-99

Is this a false detection?
Did this sneak in somehow when this exe was last built?
Is this actually part of / used by squirrel, and should we be concerned?

iconUrl should accept local files

setupIcon does accept a local .ico file, is there any reason why it can't be the same for iconUrl (which should just be named icon then)?

[Win32] Is it possible to make the app auto start on login?

Any thoughts? I've tried fixing the permissions on pretty much every directory that would be touched by this task, and still no solution.

Squirrel events won't fire

I'm using the installer version 1.1.0 and as the docs say the app should run with squirrel-events as arguments but I only get the --squirrel-first-run flag, the install, updated, obsolete or uninstall are not getting fired at any time, even thou i´m able to update my app using the autoUpdater.

Versions are:

Electron 0.35.0
grunt-electron-installer 1.1.0
electron-packager 5.1.1

Build in Windows 10 x64

Any help is much appreciated.

How to attach release notes for electron's autoUpdater?

How to attach release notes? Do we have this feature now? Though it says release notes is not available for windows in electron's autoUpater docs, but I do find the code in electron's repo which get release notes from a json outputed by Squirrel.Windows at this line:

{releaseNotes, version} = update

and I find following lines seems like a test file (Sorry I'm not sure because I have no previous knowledge on Windows development) in Squirrel.Windows:

<releaseNotes>
## Release Notes for 1.1

1. Did some cool stuff
1. Did another thing
1. Did a third thing, pretty crazy!

Make *sure* to refrobulate the confabulator or **terrible things will happen!**
</releaseNotes>

So, if we don't support attach release notes for updates yet, is it possible to add a releaseNotes field to template.nuspec at root folder of this repo and replace its content when building a NuGet package? Or it has already supported this but I can't find that?

Doesn't create shortcuts

The task is creating my installers fine, and the installers work, however the shortcuts are not getting added in the right spots so I can only run the app by going through the AppData and launching it from there.

I'm using windows 8.1

When pinning the app on Windows 8/10 it creates a new icon and it won't work properly.

The installer works perfectly, but when we try to pin the app in the taskbar it creates a new icon and it is not exactly the right behaviour. Is there anything we can do about this?

Support for several build config (Grunt style)

The following gruntfile should be supported

...
"create-windows-installer": {
    "myfirstcfg" : {
        appDirectory: "some/path",
        outputDirectory: "target/path"
    },
   "anothercfg": {
        appDirectory: "another/path",
        outputDirectory: "target/other"
    }
},
...

But I get the following error when i run grunt create-windows-installer:myfirstcfg:

Required config property "create-windows-installer.appDirectory" missing

option for setting minimum install duration?

I was wondering if it would be plausible to add an option for minimum install time, like for example if you wanted the install to take at minimum 20 seconds to complete.

In my scenario I have a loading gif that I would like to finish its animation run before it is closed, not end of the world if its not a quick thing to do.

Setup.exe not working

If I run the task, everything works fine. The *.nupkg, the RELEASES and the Setup.exe are generated.

But if I run Setup.exe, the gif pops up for some seconds and then disappears again. So, nothing actually happens.
If I run it from the console no output is generated.

This is the output while the task is running:

Running "create-windows-installer" task

Can't change default atom-shell metadata icon

When installing the generated setup file, an atom-shell .ico file is placed in ./AppData/Local/myapp/app.ico. This icon is displayed in add remove programs (and maybe other places?).

I can't find any way to change this.

Browsing the source I found the undocumented iconUrl option, it defaults to the atom-shell icon. However, this option in the gruntfile has no result on the installed .ico file. I've tried absolute, relative, and public web url values with no luck.

'create-windows-installer': {
      appDirectory: 'dist/windows/build',
      outputDirectory: 'dist/windows/installer',
      iconUrl: '../resources/windows/myapp.ico',
      setupIcon: '../resources/windows/myapp.ico',
      certificateFile: '../resources/windows/cert.p12',
      certificatePassword: 'xxxxxxxx',
      loadingGif: '../resources/windows/installer.gif'
}

remoteReleases doesn't work with private repo

The remoteReleases option doesn't have any additional configuration to allow for authenticating against a private repo. Any way around this?

Error: The specified path, file name, or both are too long

Hi guys, I created a VM to create the installer and I'm getting this error:
http://d.pr/i/1fepw

I'm not a windows expert, I searched about but can't find any solution. Could you guys help me?

Question: is it recommended way to build installer?

Hi, I'm still wondering, if grunt-electron-installer the recommended way to build installer?

remoteReleases option appears to add extra '/' in requests

With a configuration like this:

  opts =
    'create-windows-installer':
      appDirectory: './app'
      outputDirectory: './releases'
      remoteReleases: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000'

You can see requests for the RELEASES file and corresponding packages coming with an extra '/'. Example logs from my Express server:

GET //RELEASES 200 1.470 ms - -
GET //RELEASES 200 1.128 ms - -

So note the full URL being requested is _http://127.0.0.1:3000//RELEASES_.
I can fudge it this Express server but if I change remoteReleases to an S3 bucket, it'll obviously not work and return 404 when requesting the RELEASES file.

This appears on current version 0.33.

Nuget.exe "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined."

I'm trying to build a Windows installer in W10 but it keeps breaking when nuget.exe is called. The paths shown are correct. The .nuspect file is present and its xml content looks fine.

I tried updating nuget.exe to the latest version and using admin rights, but no luck.

I have not idea what the problem is, any suggestions?

How to check for updates?

I noticed that Squirrel Windows has an API to ask for updates, using grunt-electron-installer there's a way to check for updates? Case not, with which frequency Squirrel will ask for updates?

Thank you!

option for setting uninstall gif?

I was wondering if it would there would be any appetite (assuming its technically feasible) to specify a different gif for installing and uninstalling?

generate a single installer file

Is there a way to create a single installer file instead of three file shipping to users?

File not found: `LICENSE`

I get this when I try to run this Grunt task:

Running "create-windows-installer:x64" (create-windows-installer) task

 Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

I tried grunt --force but that didn't seem to help. The task just ended and did not produce an installer.

I made sure I had a "license" field in my app's package.json, and I even added files LICENSE, LICENSE.md, LICENSE.txt in the same directory as my app's package.json. None of these things have allowed to me to get past this error.

What am I missing? Thanks.

is there a way about electron call another program？

I met a problem.
I used a section of code call another web program interface,it works normally in web browser.
In client, it has no effect,it doesn't work.
Is there one or more way that could call the browser or other program?
