Why Electron is building react app with previous changes instead of latest ones?

Question

I'd created the react app and built it with electron-builder , it worked fine then I changed my code to add new features and rebuilt it with the same approach but this time I am getting previous built.

Please find my electron.js and Package.json file also please let me know if anything more required.

electron.js

    const electron = require('electron');
    const app = electron.app;
    const BrowserWindow = electron.BrowserWindow;

    const path = require('path');
    const url = require('url');
    let mainWindow;

    function createWindow() {
      mainWindow = new BrowserWindow();
      mainWindow.maximize();
      //mainWindow.loadURL(isDev ? 'http://localhost:3000' : `file://${path.join(__dirname, '../build/index.html')}`);
      mainWindow.loadURL(url.format({
        pathname: path.join(__dirname, '../build/index.html'),
        protocol: 'file:',
        slashes: true
      }));
      mainWindow.openDevTools();
      mainWindow.on('closed', () => mainWindow = null);
    }

    app.on('ready', createWindow);

    app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
      if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
        app.quit();
      }
    });

    app.on('activate', () => {
      if (mainWindow === null) {
        createWindow();
      }
    });

    }

Also I tried "electron-dev": "concurrently \\" npm start\\" \\"wait-on http://localhost:3000 && electron .\\"" but after loading, getting latest version on browser but previuos version on Desktop. Thanks in advance for help

Answer 1

Because you package your old react code. You need to build your react app before using electron-builder to package your app. So you need to change pack script to build react .

"pack": "npm run build && electron-builder --dir",
