Status Code 404 Error (Cannot Resolve) When Compiling App with Electron-Builder

[AlmondBro]

Hi everyone,

When compiling my React + ElectronJS application using Electron-Builder, I get the following error:

cannot resolve https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/velectron-prebuilt-compile/electron-velectron-prebuilt-compile-win32-x64.zip: status code 404

Here is a screenshot of my output:

I thought initially that this was an issue with my wi-fi connection, but I am able to replicate this issue on two different computers connected to different networks, so i doubt it is an internet connectivity problem.

Could this be an electron-builder issue? I don't recognize that link (particularly the v in front of electron...almost looks like a version number was supposed to go there but was empty/blank), but it doesn't appear correct, and I can download releases from the GH release page: e.g. https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v4.1.0/electron-v4.1.0-win32-x64.zip

Yes it does appear as it is likely a small typo in the URL that is acquired by electron-builder. I have posted this as an issue (#3764) as in the electron-builder repository as well.

Are you sure "electronVersion": "electron-prebuilt-compile" is correct syntax? What happens if you try "electronVersion": "4.1.0"?

Hi jacobq,

Thank you for all the help so far!

I moved electron-prebuilt-compileto be in my dependencies. I tried both omitting the electronVersionfield in the electron-builder build object of package.json and using a version number like "electronVersion": "4.0.0"

My app compiles now but results in this error:

This leads me to believe that electron-builder is not using electron-prebuilt-compile when compiling the app, hence the error on the importkeyword.

Just specified via electronVersion in the build config to use Electron v4.0.0, but the same main process error still results. Since this importstatement is in my main process file, could it be that it is not being transpiled by electron-prebuilt-compile?

I'll go ahead and close this issue as this has now turned into a new issue.
