Doesn't work on nexe

[lee1409]

I was trying to compile my node project into .exe using Nexe. I'm clueless because node-notifier does work on node but not .exe. The .exe file doesn't display any error or something that can give me some hints about what kind of problem I encountered.

Version "node-notifier": "^10.0.0", "nexe": "3.3.7"

Doesn't work for me either

Version "node-notifier": "10.0.0", "nexe": "4.0.0-beta.19"

I think I found something. It seems to be related to the customPath option. (This also fits the release notes that mention a fix there)

My notifierOptions:

{
    "withFallback": false,
    "customPath": "X:\\xxxxxxxxxx\\dist\\snoretoast-x64.exe"
}

Debug log

node-notifier debug info (fileCommand):
[notifier path] X:\xxxxxxxxxx\dist\vendor\snoreToast\snoretoast-x64.exe

Seems that somewhere along the way the vendor\snoreToast is added. Not sure if that's only when using an absolute path to the binary, or if it will happen to relative as well.

Although the documentation note Relative/Absolute path to binary, even when removing the sonretoast-x64.exe from the customPath, the result is the same. So it seems the actual behavior of customPath is that it expects a folder with vendor\snoreToast\sonretoast-x64.exe rather then a path to binary itself.

Found the problem. Opened a PR

@lee1409 If your problem you're having is the same as mine, a temporary workaround can be sending customPath in the message options rather then in the WindowsToaster constructor

Alright thanks @yoavain ! Will try it when I'm available
