It seems that the app is not in AppImage fromat (while it is) about electron-simple-updater HOT 11 CLOSED

I"ll check what's wrong tomorrow

from electron-simple-updater.

@NateMoeller try to use the same approach instead of overriding the whole process.env

new webpack.DefinePlugin({
  'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production')
})

from electron-simple-updater.

@Crazie-ash It seems your app is not packaged

from electron-simple-updater.

The webpack DefinePlugin overrides environment variables - that's why ESU doesn't work. Linux update module depends on process.env.APPIMAGE variable.

from electron-simple-updater.

I'm trying to do the same thing. Is there a solution to this? Or is it not possible to use DefinePlugin and ESU together? I've found that hard coding the path to process.env.APPIMAGE in DefinePlugin will get it to work, however I do not know how to generate that path within webpack.

Hi @megahertz,

I am getting the same message: "It seems that the app is not in AppImage format".

Could you provide a procedure to fix this? I am new to coding in this environment and therefore your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Cheers.

Hi @arvindrajan92. Could you provide more information? (configs, build procedure and so on)

from electron-simple-updater.

Hi @megahertz,

Thank you for coming back. I am using electron-builder with build:
"build": { "linux": { "artifactName": "TestApp", "target": "AppImage" }

Please let me know if you need any other information. I'd be hugely grateful if you could tell where to find the information needed.

Cheers

@arvindrajan92 Do you use webpack? If so, check my recommendations above.

Is there any fix for this issue????
process.env.APPIMAGE gets undefined???
