Setting USE_SYSTEM_7ZA environment variable breaks the build #8151

Closed darind closed 3 months ago

darind commented 3 months ago

electron-builder version: 24.13.3 electron version: 27.3.1 node-js version: 20.10.0

If we set the USE_SYSTEM_7ZA=true environment variable, then the 7zip-bin package will return 7za as path to the executable: https://github.com/develar/7zip-bin/blob/master/index.js#L7.

This is used here: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/master/packages/builder-util/src/7za.ts#L5.

The chmod call is failing because we do not specify the absolute path to the executable.

This is a regression from v24.6.4 where no call to chmod was made.
