Quasar with Electron-Builder DMG start with empty window

[rehoehle]

What happened?

We use Electron-Builder to build the Quasar application. When i start the program with dev-mode so

quasar dev -m electron

It's working fine and everything is loaded. When i build the project with

quasar build -m electron

i get the ZIP and DMG package but when i run the program the screen is empty. During the build there are not exceptions.

 Build succeeded

 Build mode............. electron
 Pkg quasar............. v2.11.5
 Pkg @quasar/app-vite... v1.2.0
 Pkg vite............... v2.9.15
 Debugging.............. no
 Publishing............. no
 Browser target......... es2019|edge88|firefox78|chrome87|safari13.1
 Node target............ node16
 =======================
 Output folder.......... /Users/xxxx/dist/electron

I have a default installation with Quasar and Vite with Typescript.

Perhaps the ENV variable is not set and he don't load the index.html file?

mainWindow.loadURL(process.env.APP_URL);

What did you expect to happen?

The program should load the application.

I found the problem. There was a needed dependency only in the devDependencies that were used in preload and there was no error.
