autoUpdater unhandled rejection

[skident]

• Electron-Builder Version:
  "electron-builder": "^23.3.3",
  "electron-updater": "^5.3.0",

node v18.15.0

• Electron Version:
  "electron": "^25.3.0",
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly):

macOS

I have an auto update logic in my app and sometimes I get an error like this one
"Error: Cannot download "https://xxx/yyy/app.zip", status 403: Forbidden"
I am totally fine with the issue, I have a handler for such types of errors which looks like this
autoUpdater.on("error", (error) => {...});
But somehow this error is propagated to the very top level and ends up in the unhandled rejection handler. I wrapped everything with try catch blocks but anyway I get the unhandled rejection error.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Can you try adding additional logging to the updater flow?

@skident Found a solution for this?

[skident]

@farhanlatheef . not really. I get too many such errors

[farhanlatheef]

@skident try this.

const update = await autoUpdater.checkForUpdates();
  if (update && update.downloadPromise) {
    update.downloadPromise.catch((error) => {
      logger.error('AutoUpdater -> checkForUpdates:', error);
    });
  }
