Does not work at all

[Andrew-web-coder]

I copy pasted the code from the docs, the result is:

SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and the top level bodies of modules

I deleted await and the result is:

node:internal/process/promises:288
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '\app\resources\app\package.json'] {

I do not understand why it tries to use incorrect path.

So, how to use it correctly?

You need to use await

just wrap it in a function:

const electronInstaller = require('electron-winstaller');
async function e() {
try {
  await electronInstaller.createWindowsInstaller({
    appDirectory: '/tmp/build/my-app-64',
    outputDirectory: '/tmp/build/installer64',
    authors: 'My App Inc.',
    exe: 'myapp.exe'
  });
  console.log('It worked!');
} catch (e) {
  console.log(`No dice: ${e.message}`);
    }
}
e();

I suggest this be closed - @Andrew-web-coder can you do so?

e();

I tried it this way, and it still doesn't work
