Auto updater doesn't work with S3- Error in auto-updater.

[philippfo9]

• Version: 19.22.1

  2.8.9

• Target: Windows 64bit

I configured the autoupdater, like it is said in the documentation.

I included the electron-updater dependency, also the electron-log and the electron-publisher-s3. At first, it doesn't automatically upload to S3, although I configured the credentials at the right place. But that's not a big deal. When I install the programm and start it, I get a message in the console: 'Error in auto-updater.'

I don't get more error messages. Can you help me to get more or solve the problem at all?

Another question: Is it even possible to directly upload to S3 with the autoUpdater?

my package.json, with the publish configured:

My electron.js, where I use the autoupdater like in documentation. `'use strict'; const electron = require('electron'); //const electronprinter = require('electron-printer'); // Module to control application life. const { app } = electron; // Module to create native browser window. const { BrowserWindow } = electron;

const {ipcMain} = require('electron');

const log = require('electron-log'); const {autoUpdater} = require("electron-updater");

autoUpdater.logger = log; autoUpdater.logger.transports.file.level = 'info'; log.info('App starting...');

let win;

function sendStatusToWindow(text) { log.info(text); win.webContents.send('message', text); }

function createWindow() { // Create the browser window. win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 1024, height: 600 });

win.webContents.openDevTools();

var url = 'file://' + __dirname + '/../www/index.html';
var url = process.env.E_URL || url;

// and load the index.html of the app.
win.loadURL(url);

// Emitted when the window is closed.
win.on('closed', () => {
        // Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
        // in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
        // when you should delete the corresponding element.
        win = null;
});

}

autoUpdater.on('checking-for-update', () => { sendStatusToWindow('Checking for update...'); }) autoUpdater.on('update-available', (info) => { sendStatusToWindow('Update available.'); }) autoUpdater.on('update-not-available', (info) => { sendStatusToWindow('Update not available.'); }) autoUpdater.on('error', (err) => { sendStatusToWindow('Error in auto-updater.'); }) autoUpdater.on('download-progress', (progressObj) => { let log_message = "Download speed: " + progressObj.bytesPerSecond; log_message = log_message + ' - Downloaded ' + progressObj.percent + '%'; log_message = log_message + ' (' + progressObj.transferred + "/" + progressObj.total + ')'; sendStatusToWindow(log_message); }) autoUpdater.on('update-downloaded', (info) => { sendStatusToWindow('Update downloaded; will install in 5 seconds'); });

// This method will be called when Electron has finished // initialization and is ready to create browser windows. // Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs. app.on('ready', createWindow);

// Quit when all windows are closed. app.on('window-all-closed', () => { // On OS X it is common for applications and their menu bar // to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Q if (process.platform !== 'darwin') { app.quit(); } });

app.on('activate', () => { // On OS X it's common to re-create a window in the app when the // dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open. if (win === null) { createWindow(); } });

autoUpdater.on('update-downloaded', (info) => { // Wait 5 seconds, then quit and install // In your application, you don't need to wait 5 seconds. // You could call autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(); immediately setTimeout(function() { autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(); }, 1000); })

app.on('ready', function() { autoUpdater.checkForUpdates(); }); `

Hi, What error you are getting ? I have the following code and it is working fine It will update when ever i am restarting the app

package.json

  "build": {
    "appId": "com.amazon.myapp",
    "icon": "resources/images/my.ico",
    "asar": true,
    "win": {
      "target": [
        {
          "target": "nsis",
          "arch": [
            "x64"
          ]
        }
      ],
      "publish": {
        "provider": "s3",
        "bucket": "your bucket"
      }
    }
  }

main.js

const {autoUpdater} = require("electron-updater");

app.on('ready', function() {

    if(win.webContents){
        if(process.mainModule.filename.indexOf('app.asar') === -1){
            win.webContents.openDevTools();
            console.log("It is in dev mode dont check for auto update ");
        }else{
            autoUpdater.checkForUpdates();
        }

    }

    autoUpdater.on('update-downloaded',function(info) {
        win.webContents.executeJavaScript("alert('New update is Available ! Once You give ok tool will restart');");
        setTimeout(function() {
            autoUpdater.quitAndInstall();
        }, 100)

    });

});

Hey, my build looks like this: "build": { "appId": "com.orderstar.kassa", "productName": "Orderstar Kassa", "icon": "build/orderstar-kassa.ico", "files": [ "www/*/", "electron/*" ], "win": { "target": "nsis",

  "publish": {
    "provider": "s3",
    "bucket": "orderstar-release",
    "path": "benutzer-win64",
    "channel": "latest"
  }
}

}

I made the bucket public and added AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as environment variables. If I just run it in dev mode I get:

[14:37:23.289] [error] Error: Error: Cannot find channel "latest.yml" update inf o: HttpError: 404 Not Found "method: undefined url: https://orderstar-release.s3.amazonaws.com//benutzer-win 64/latest.yml\n\nPlease double check that your authentication token is correct. Due to security reasons actual status maybe not reported, but 404.\n" Headers: { "content-type": [ "application/xml" ], "date": [ "Sat, 30 Sep 2017 12:37:16 GMT" ], "server": [ "AmazonS3" ], "transfer-encoding": [ "chunked" ], "x-amz-id-2": [ "Jys2pZBLMbg5bxVHUCfmraRg6PccX5dQ3CkwziATIoYdb7IeYK9W3NP6qsjk4+qzLrrZ98VBXTY =" ], "x-amz-request-id": [ "47C769A2CEA7C6FA" ] }

Do I have to configure something else to get it running?

@philippfo9 you forgot to publish update metadata file.

But as @myfrndjk said, just use electron-builder to publish. To publish from local machine, you must explicitly pass CLI --publish=always https://www.electron.build/configuration/publish
