Electron Forge version

6.0.3

Electron version

18.3.15

Operating system

macOS Monteray 12.5.1

Last known working Electron Forge version

--

Expected behavior

The "make" works ok.

Actual behavior

Tried to build an electron for windows with the command:

"make:windows": "electron-forge make --platform=win32"

Getting error:

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
[object Object]

Build for macOS works fine.

Steps to reproduce

Run command:

electron-forge make --platform=win32

forge.config:

module.exports = {
  makers: [
    {
      config: {
        name: 'app-name',
      },
      name: '@electron-forge/maker-squirrel',
    },
    {
      name: '@electron-forge/maker-zip',
      platforms: ['darwin'],
    },
    {
      config: {},
      name: '@electron-forge/maker-deb',
    },
    {
      config: {},
      name: '@electron-forge/maker-rpm',
    },
  ],
  packagerConfig: {},
  rebuildConfig: {},
}

Hey @maks1mp, thanks for the issue report. A few thoughts:

The [object Object] error message is very unhelpful and we should fix that.
Does adding DEBUG=electron-forge:* add any helpful output?
Compilation is best done on the host platform if possible. You can do it via CI (free with GH actions) if you don't have a Windows machine, too.

Experiencing the same error with snap/deb/rpm/squirell distributables on Manjaro 22, Electron 18, electron-forge 6.
The binaries are ok. The error is while "Making distributables" (installers).

anatoly-day-io · 2022-11-18T07:03:53Z

Debugged myself by editing node_modules/@electron-forge/cli/dist/util/terminate.js. Was able to build after adding author, description and license fields.

maks1mp · 2022-11-18T07:32:13Z

@anatoly-day-io does not work for me.

yishayhaz · 2022-11-20T11:32:54Z

I am facing the same issue now, waiting for updates 😿

VerteDinde · 2022-11-20T21:08:14Z

@maks1mp @anatoly-day-io @yishayhaz For the folks experiencing this issue, would it be possible for you to include a copy of your repo, or a base repro case? I just tried to reproduce this on Windows with the basic template and didn't hit this error - any additional information or a repro case provided would be very helpful.

erickzhao · 2022-11-21T22:24:13Z

Hi all,

The exact error message that folks are running into here (An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge: [object Object]) is a generic error that happens whenever any unhandled error in a Maker bubbles all the way up to the core API.

This means the problem reported in this GitHub issue has many root problems and many solutions, and therefore has very limited usefulness in its current form.

I have opened #3086 to give you more helpful error feedback when you hit an error at the Make step, which will hopefully land for Forge v6.0.4.

In the meantime, I would suggest following @anatoly-day-io's workaround and hacking node_modules/@electron-forge/cli/dist/util/terminate.js to log the full Object rather than the stringified [object Object]:

process.on('unhandledRejection', (reason, promise)=>{
+ console.log(JSON.stringify(reason))
    redConsoleError('\nAn unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:');

erickzhao · 2022-11-21T22:24:44Z

@maks1mp for your exact error, I would install https://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/mac/ if you haven't already.

erickzhao · 2022-11-21T22:30:05Z

If folks need additional help debugging their specific issues after getting past the [object Object], I would recommend:

Joining us at https://discord.gg/electronjs to ask for Forge configuration help.
