Installer seems to disregard config file settings

[fmarzocca]

What version of electron-installer-redhat are you using?
0.5.0

What version of node and npm are you using?
node 4.2.6 npm 3.5.2

What operating system are you using?
Linux Mint 18.3

I have a weird behaviour...

This is my redhat.json config file:

{
  "dest": "release-builds/",
  "icon": "icons/icon-512x512.png",
  "name": "meteosurf-desktop",
  "bin": "myapp-desktop",
  "categories": [
    "Network"
  ]
}

I am calling the installer with this line in package.json:

"rpm-installer": "electron-installer-redhat --src release-builds/meteosurf-desktop-linux-x64/ --dest release-builds --arch x86_64 --config: redhat.json",

The problem is that the installer completely disregards my config settings, and it uses another name (My App) which I don't know where it takes from. The result is a broken link between /usr/bin and /usr/share/myapp-desktop

you're calling the installer with --config: redhat.json where it should read --config redhat.json (without the colon).
Please read all the documentation before posting issues.
options.name is for the Name field of the spec file, make sure you also change options.bin.
What I suggest is keep a tidy package.json, where productName will be used as the default by this installer, and use the latest electron-packager where you specify the executable name to be equal to the productName, following the same naming conventions.
You could see a similar behavior for the Debian installer
