Build the app with electron-builder

[Mykab54]

I try to build the app with electron-builder. For this, I have added in package.json the following:

"build": {
    "appId": "AppID",
    "productName": "seleniumIDE",
    "directories": {
      "output": "dist"
    },
    "linux": {
      "target": [
        {
          "target": "deb"
        }
      ],
   }
}

And in scripts:

"scripts": {
    "dist": "electron-builder"
}

After that I do

$ pnpm run dist

It works but when I want to start the app with

$ seleniumIDE

I got this error: " Unable to startup due to chromedriver error: Missing executable at path /opt/seleniumIDE/resources/app.asar.unpacked/packages/-selenium-ide/node_modules/electron-chromedriver/bin/chromedriver "

@Mykab54 - You adding this to the top level package.json or the package.json in the selenium-ide package?

[Mykab54]

@toddtarsi I add this in the root of the project folder

[toddtarsi]

Check out packages/selenium-ide/package.json. The build:electron command in there is used by the CI to build for mac / windows / etc

[toddtarsi]

@Mykab54 - Just wanted to check in and see if you were able to build successfully

@toddtarsi I recloned selenium-ide and tried to build with electron-builder from packages/selenium-ide. I got the following:

@Mykab54 - To give some context, that -mwl flag means -mac -windows -linux. I think you just want linux here, try replacing -mwl with just -l. That said, elf header sounds kinda linux-y, but that might make this less painful to debug

[toddtarsi]

@Mykab54 - I am going to close this issue. Our CI builds for all three platforms pretty consistently, so if there is a knowledge gap I can close, I'd be happy to. But all and all, there's not much else for me to do here.
