电子生成器未在 Mac OS X 上发布到 GitHub

Question

I have an electron app that needs to be published to a public GitHub repo as a Mac OS X release using electron-builder .

Problem: After building, signing and packaging the electron app by running

npm run release

the app is not automatically published to the GitHub repo as a new release.

How can we set up electron-builder to automatically upload the electron app release to Github?

Versions

• node 12.6.0
• electron 1.8.8
• electron-builder 19.56.2
• Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.5

npm run release output

> Foo-Bar@1.0.0 release /Users/nyxynyx/test/foo
> npm run package


> Foo-Bar@1.0.0 package /Users/nyxynyx/test/foo
> npm run build && electron-builder


> Foo-Bar@1.0.0 build /Users/nyxynyx/test/foo
> NODE_ENV=production webpack --config webpack.config.production.babel.js

When you run npm run release , it just run npm run build && electron-builder . So it will only package your app and not publish it. You need to add --publish=always in your package script to publish your app

"package": "npm run build && electron-builder --publish=always",

and edit publish in package.json to something like this

"publish": [
      {
        "provider": "github",
        "owner": "incognitochain",
        "repo": "incognito-monitor"
      }
    ]
