I want to get rid of some folders before the electron-forge's packaging step, because the option ignore.roge.config
in package.json
does not get rid of all the intermediate folders that I specify to ignore for some packages. Those intermediate folders are usually generated during a native build process during packaging.
But adding hooks
field with the documented events don't seem to work, eg,
having a package.json
field like this seems to add nothing to the equation, ie, I don't see the expected console log.
"config": {
"forge": {
"packagerConfig": {
"icon": "src/images/myapp",
"ignore": [
"/.gitignore",
"/.vscode",
"/yarn.lock",
"/node_modules/mydep/build/",
"/node_modules/mydep/prebuilds/linux*"
]
},
"hooks": {
"prePackage": "async () => {\"console.log("this is prepackage step.");\"} "
},
"makers": [
{
"name": "@electron-forge/maker-zip",
"platforms": [
"darwin",
"win32"
]
}
]
}
},
Referring to a related elctron-forge github issue , I've also tried to feed a JS source file to hooks
"hooks": "require:./hooks.js",
where the hooks script looks like
{
prePackage: async () => {
console.log('this is prepackage step.');
}
}
This didn't work either.
Worse, I can't even specify multiple hooks this way:
{
generateAssets: async () => {
console.log('We should generate some assets here');
},
prePackage: async (forgeConfig, options) => {
console.error('lbn: prePackage');
}
}
The above code gives me the following error when running yarn make
:
An unhandled error has occurred inside Forge:

What is the right way to specify hooks?
Solved it myself.
We should place the hooks as a normal global module
// ./hooks.js
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
postPackage: async (forgeConfig, options) => {
console.warn('\n\npostPackage: exclude files ...\n\n');
}
}; // module.exports = {
Then refer to it in package.json
"hooks": "require:./hooks.js",
