Additional information

@vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader recently released a version 1.7.4. The package is added to a clean build of electron-forge with @vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader@^1.7.3. Running npm upgrade will cause this issue to appear. I modified by package.json to modify the the dependency to remove ^ and rerunning npm upgrade, locking it to 1.7.3, which seems to fix the issue for now.

Four days ago (as of May 20, 2024), version 1.7.4 of the @vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader package was released

At the moment it is not compatible, so if you get this error, go to the package.json, and in the dependencies look for this:

@vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader@^1.7.3
remove the hat so that it looks like this:

@vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader@1.7.3

And remove node_modules folder and reinstall with npm install / yarn or similar.
This is a temporary solution until a new version is released.

All the best!

Hey @eXhumer and @robertomsen, thanks for the reports here! This is definitely related to a PR landing upstream in the webpack-asset-relocator-loader module (specifically this one: vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader#185). We'll get this fixed

[uncaught]

Did @vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader introduce a breaking change in a patch version there? Maybe ask them nicely to not do that in the future 🤔

changing ^1.7.3 to 1.7.3 in package.json for "@vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader" dependency fixed the issue for me

Did @vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader introduce a breaking change in a patch version there?

@uncaught Forge currently currently relies on a specific version of that package being installed. Here's the explanation from the docs:

Electron Forge monkeypatches the asset relocator loader in order for it to work with Electron properly, so the version has been pinned to ensure compatibility. If you upgrade that version, you do so at your own risk.
