It's possible to not select a platform or arch

[adam-lynch]

If I hit enter to select a platform and then arch, I get the following:

epi

? Use asar source packaging ? No

✗ Error: Must specify arch

If I press space to check a selection then enter to move on to the next question, it works.

Latest version, on a Mac.

When hitting enter on Inquirer, it goes to the next question without selecting any platform or arch.Perhaps, the best solution would be to select a platform and arch by default. I'm thinking, maybe, use the current platform, arch where you're running epi

[adam-lynch]

@vrunoa it's definitely possible to have inquirer not do that. I've done it myself.

[adam-lynch]

Just checked... you use checkbox, that should be list. I can sort it in a PR?

[vrunoa]

@adam-lynch PR's are welcome.

@adam-lynch exactly. Maybe some user just want to build for windows and mac avoiding linux, or any combination that just includes 2 platforms. Setting the input to a list type would remove this flow from the module. I believe the best solution for this case would be set the user platform(arch) as default. Also add a validation, throw an error when platform or arch os not selected. Let me know if you would like to implement this, otherwise I'll add this implementation.

@adam-lynch I decided that if a user doesnt select an arch or a platform, it will ask again.

I also had this issue and as a workaround, the lines that specify the platform and architecture in the dist/index.js file can be modified like:

    options.arch = "x64";
    if (options.arch == "") {
      error("Error: Must specify arch");
    }
    options.platform = "darwin"
    if (options.platform == "") {
      error("Error: Must specify platform");
    }
