[ERROR] function validateInput - no such file or directory, open 'dist\main\package.json' #70

Hello there,

First time using this plugin, I have an issue with it.

When I try to run yarn dev I have an exception telling that package.json does not exist in the root/dist/main folder (and thats normal because package.json is not copied in compilation).

The line from your update-electron-app\index.js (l. 110) is: const pkgBuf = fs.readFileSync(path.join(electron.app.getAppPath(), 'package.json'))

┗ ----------------------------

I am using electron 5.0.6, I could'nt up higher beaucause I use SQLite and install-app-deps does not work with latest version for SQLite deps (it does not exist yet) If the bug comes from because im using a uncompatible version of Electron, I'll see how I can fix it in another way.

How I can do without setting manually repo url ?

Best regards
