Custom Electron.app

[adammeyer]

• Version: 6.7.7

• Target: MacOS

I have a custom Electron.app I built manually (not using the Electron Prebuilt). It would be great if I could use Electron Builder somehow with this custom build.

Do you mean that you have own version of electron? I mean — electron-builder should somehow use your files instead of original from https://github.com/electron/electron/releases?

[adammeyer]

Yes, I have my own version. Is there a way to tell Electron Builder to not use the prebuilt?

[develar]

You can set ELECTRON_MIRROR environment variable to use a custom base URL for grabbing Electron zips (https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-download)

But I think, no rush, — I can add option tomorrow morning (CET). electronVersion will accept path to zip of your electron version (or just directory). Is it suitable for you?

[adammeyer]

Yes, that should work great. Thank you!

[develar]

Please specify what is more suitable for you — path to local directory (where files named in the same way as electron) or base http path? How do you distribute your electron version?

Local directory
