React Template - UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: spawn unzip ENOENT

[polarathene]

version 5.2.4 of electron-forge

I don't think I need to say too much about this as below info should be enough? Fresh React template is raising this error on start, I have another one after installing a few node modules(from a different electron react project that works fine that did not use forge), that raises a different error.

I've compared it to initializing a project without the React template specified, there are some differences (mainly the React project pulls in an extra babel plugin for es2015 classes, and .compilerc specifies electron 1.6 vs no templates 4.0). Perhaps the template is just out of date?

Any other info you'd like?

*Console output when you run electron-forge init with the environment variable `DEBUG=electron-forge:`. (Instructions on how to do so here). Please include the stack trace if one exists.**

I'm thinking by going over my package.json and the react template package.json in this repo, that it's really not clear what this template is doing that's making it a React template?

It's not pulling in React at all? react-hot-loader/babel is mentioned here though(.compilerc) and I guess is where the error is stemming from? I see react was installed in node_modules, and I guess that file is where it's requesting react dependencies as I don't see them anywhere else?

react-hot-loader/babel, if this is referring to relative path in node_modules directory, there is no babel folder there, it's living in lib, so react-hot-loader/lib/babel.

Is one of my dependencies causing this breakage for some reason? If so is it due to something out of date with this template(babel perhaps?). I haven't added my own code yet just added packages.

[DefiCake]

Uh, the template is completely broken and the repository has not been updated in 2 years. Is this project dead?

[polarathene]

@rrodriguezreche I had a much better time with electron-builder, I'd suggest that over forge tbh.

[bluebrown]

Not sure if its related but I get this error:
