Publishing a new release

  • Go to the releases page and select the Draft a new release button.
  • Set the desired version and select the target branch. The version should match the v\d+\.\d+\.\d+ patten. For instance, v2.12.4. By default, the target branch is master, which is fine for our use-case.
  • Select Save draft.
  • Update the product version in the package.json. The new version should match with the previously configured version of the draft release. Note, the leading v should be omitted from the version in the package.json.
  • Commit your changes and push to the remote.
  • CIs will automatically start a new build with your most recent modifications. Once the builds are green, the artifacts will be uploaded and attached by the CIs to your release.
  • Go the releases page and select your release draft you would like to finalize. Select edit.
  • Here, you can make some additional changes. You can remove exisiting artifacts or even upload additional ones manually. When you are ready, select Publish release.

Troubleshooting

"Don't expect that you can build app for all platforms on one platform."

Install glib on OS X with brew install glib or update it with brew upgrade glib if you see:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/glib/lib/libglib-2.0.0.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/username/Library/Caches/electron-builder/appimage/appimage-9.0.1/darwin/appimagetool
Reason: Incompatible library version: appimagetool requires version 5401.0.0 or later, but libglib-2.0.0.dylib provides version 5001.0.0

Install wine on OS X by running brew install wine if you see:

Error: Cannot check wine version: Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn wine ENOENT

Set the VCTargetsPath environment variable with SET VCTargetsPath=path\to\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\v140, and do npm config set msvs_version 2017 --global if you are facing with the following error on Windows:

error MSB4019: The imported project "some\invalid\path\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that t he file exists on disk.
