Building a second Windows release gives a task was cancelled error #714

tom-james-watson · 2016-08-31T22:58:59Z

6.3.1:

Squirrel.Windows:

I successfully built a first windows release and create a release on my github repository with the relevant build files attached. I have a squirrel server that is correctly finding these builds and I can install my application from the packages perfectly.

When I try to build a new version of the app, the build errors out with the below error. I am not entirely sure what the actual error is here. What is this /RELEASES url? Is that valid?

Here is the relevant config from my package.json:

"build": {
  "appId": "<redacted>",
  "category": "public.app-category.utilities",
  "asar": false,
  "win": {
    "iconUrl": "<redacted>",
    "remoteReleases": "https://github.com/tom-james-watson/artpip-app",
    "remoteToken": "<redacted>"
  }
},
"directories": {
  "output": "releases"
},

Any pointers? Let me know if you need more info.

https://github.com/tom-james-watson/artpip-app

404 Not Found. Is it correct URL? remoteReleases

tom-james-watson · 2016-09-01T07:45:10Z

Yeah, it's a private repository.

develar · 2016-09-01T08:25:35Z

@tom-james-watson In this case please specify remoteToken (where remoteReleases defined, build.win.remoteToken) — https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/

develar · 2016-09-01T08:27:09Z

Hmm... it seems you in any case already specified GH_TOKEN.

develar · 2016-09-01T08:37:54Z

GH_TOKEN now reused for Squirrel.Windows sync releases.

tom-james-watson · 2016-09-01T09:34:05Z

Hello - thank you for your very quick fix! That has cleared that error.

However, I am now actually receiving the same error as #713

Please see error stack below

Error: Command failed: mono /Users/tomw/.cache/Squirrel.Windows/Squirrel.Windows-1.4.4/Update-Mono.exe --releasify /Users/tomw/git/artpip-app/releases/win/artpip-0.0.12-full.nupkg -

tom-james-watson · 2016-09-01T09:35:25Z

Just to be clear - that file does exist before running the command, but it seems to get deleted during the process.

develar · 2016-09-01T10:16:16Z

Strange... works for me. Is artpip-0.0.11-full.nupkg available on github?

develar · 2016-09-01T10:17:12Z

We DO REMOVE old artifacts in the output directory to be sure that delta will be computed using correct artefact. And then Squirrel.Windows syncs releases.

tom-james-watson · 2016-09-01T10:25:38Z

It is yeah, actually I presume that the problem is that it is a private respository. Is it using my remoteToken correctly when trying to fetch the files?

develar · 2016-09-01T10:33:15Z

Is it using my remoteToken correctly when trying to fetch the files?

I don't know, it is Squirrel.Windows and I suppose it maybe buggy.

develar · 2016-09-01T10:33:49Z

To be sure — artpip-0.0.11-full.nupkg available on github?

tom-james-watson · 2016-09-01T10:40:05Z

Yeah, see below.

The file is available at https://github.com/tom-james-watson/artpip-app/releases/download/v0.0.11/artpip-0.0.11-full.nupkg

However, being a private repository it needs to use my remoteToken to be able to access this file. My squirrel server (which is configured with my token) can download these files fine.

develar · 2016-09-01T10:45:12Z

Do you see artpip-0.0.11-full.nupkg file in the output directory during build? Please set env DEBUG=electron-builder

develar · 2016-09-01T10:45:53Z

Please try to remove output directory completely and build again.

tom-james-watson · 2016-09-01T21:41:35Z

Hello - removing my release directory and rebuilding everything worked once. However, trying again a few hours later to create a new version, I am getting the same error as earlier. I have ensured that I am DEFINITELY on 6.3.3. Any idea?

Here's the output:

@tom-james-watson Fixed. Squirrel.Windows doesn't check files at all :(, so, RELEASES must be deleted also. Fixed version will be published soon.

tom-james-watson · 2016-09-02T12:12:25Z

I am still getting the same error as above. I ended up removing remoteReleases and remoteToken from config and then it builds fine. As far as I can tell, all this changes is that it will no longer produce delta updates. Is that correct? So if my app auto-updates on windows it will always have to download the full package? That's not the end of the world - that's what happens on Mac anyway.

develar · 2016-09-02T14:32:13Z

6.3.5 doesn't help you?

all this changes is that it will no longer produce delta updates. Is that correct?

yes

Hi,
electron-builder : 19.27.7
I get this error which making a build for the windows platform, target Squirrel.
I have mentioned both remoteReleases and remoteToken fro my private repo

Error : Failed to sync URL as GitHub repo: Error: SecureChannelFailure (The authentication or decryption has failed.)

Could you help ?

arkakkar · 2017-09-20T20:51:00Z

This is resolved. Issue was due to trust certificates with mono for fetching resource over https://.
