Use projectDir instead of project

[tangb]

• Version:
  20.0.8

• Target:
  linux 64bits

When executing on linux debian stable amd64 (8.10):

./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --linux --x64 --projectDir "build/myproject_tree"

I got this error:

Use projectDir instead of project

Is this option deprecated? => EDIT: yes --project is deprecated but not --projectDir (according to changelog v20.0.0)
I tryed with --project instead of --projectDir and it did the same. => EDIT: yes it is the same option ;-)

I used it 6 months ago and it works, is the option changed?

Thank you very much ;-)

Here is the build part of my package.json:

    "build": {
        "appId": "com.cleep.cleepdesktop",
        "productName": "CleepDesktop",

            "icon": "resources/",
            "target": [
                "tar.gz",
                "AppImage",
                "deb"
            ],
            "maintainer": "me <[email protected]>",

I'm having the same problem.

electron-builder 20.2.0
npm 5.6.0
node.js v8.9.1

build -mw --projectDir dist/

[cybertim]

--projectDir does not work since version 19.56.2
My work around is running the electron-builder inside the correct folder.
It is probably due to the

electron-builder/packages/electron-builder-lib/src/packager.ts

Line 139 in 9d6eb96

if ("project" in options) {

check on the name project that also matches with projectDir.

To be able to run in the root my solution was this (two package-json structure):

package.json

...
"scripts": {
    "dist": "cd dist/ && build -mw"
}
...
