[lianshengxing]

when i use 'let fileContents = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__static, '/Grgzpt.exe'), 'utf8')',it threw an error that '__static is not defined'

The __static variable is a very new feature from the last milestone release from just a few days ago. If your project still has a two package.json structure with the app folder, then your scaffold isn't update to date with the current version.

@SimulatedGREG
so what should i do to updata to the current veision

This is a good start, but isn't a full proof method. Depending on what you may have changed in your project, there could be other items to migrate manually.

@SimulatedGREG
excuse me,i i found two 'src' folders in the project, which one should i change

[SimulatedGREG]

This happened because of a vue-cli issue where a cached version of the template merges with an updated version. Make sure your vue-cli version is update to date with npm i -g vue-cli@latest.

Related: vuejs/vue-cli#450, #240

Items such as app, tasks, and config.js no longer exist. Make sure to reference the current template to check for the differences. https://github.com/SimulatedGREG/electron-vue/tree/master/template

i use the latest 'electron-vue' project, and when i use 'let fileContents = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__static, '/Grgzpt.exe'), 'utf8')' in the 'main/index.js',it threw an error that 'no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\wzh-lian\Desktop\my-project\Userswzh-lianDesktopmy-projectstatic\Grgzpt.exe''

[SimulatedGREG]

open 'C:\Users\wzh-lian\Desktop\my-project\Userswzh-lianDesktopmy-projectstatic\Grgzpt.exe''

Not sure what you changed, but this path that was created surely doesn't look right.

[lianshengxing]

in the 'main/index.js' ,you give the code that 'if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development') {
global.__static = path.join(__dirname, '/static')
}',and then i use 'console.log(__static)',when i executed the command that 'npm run dev',the output is 'Userswzh-lianDesktopmy-projectstatic', but when i use 'console.log()__dirname)', the output is 'src/main', could you explain about that

In short, win32 uses \ backslashes for file paths, but in JS Strings, these will be interpreted as escape delimiters.

@SimulatedGREG
thanks a lot for that,i have changed the project and it worked well. and then i want to use the 'shell.openItem' to open the 'Grgzpt.exe' in the static folder,how should i write the path

[SimulatedGREG]

Assuming Grgzpt.ext is in static/...

import { shell } from 'electron'
import path from 'path'

shell.openItem(path.join(__static, '/Grgzpt.exe'))

[lianshengxing]

yes,it worked.but in the latest project,when i executed the command 'npm run build:win32',it threw an err that 'Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink 'C:\Users\wzh-lian\Desktop\my-project\node_modules._7zip@0.0.6@7zip' -> 'C:\Users\wzh-lian\AppData\Local\Temp
electron-packager\win32-x64\test-win32-x64\resources\app\node_modules\7zip''

[SimulatedGREG]

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink

Looking at the error you posted, it seem you are running into a permission error. Is your terminal running in Administrator mode?

[lianshengxing]

You mean that I should run the cmd as Administrator?

[SimulatedGREG]

Exactly that.

[lianshengxing]

i just can not understand about that,and how to build the project

[SimulatedGREG]

Are you able to build a blank project from a fresh and untouched vue init simulatedgreg/electron-vue my-project?

[lianshengxing]

I uesd 'vue init simulatedgreg/electron-vue my-project' to create a new project ,and then I executed the command 'npm run build:win32',it threw the same error

[lianshengxing]

Is this error related to the '7zip'?

[SimulatedGREG]

@lianshengxing

It looks like 7zip might not have the proper permissions to complete the build step.

Unless your cmd isn't being ran as administrator, (which it should be running as administrator), I don't really know what to tell you about Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink. Your system is throwing a permission error and restricting the build process from completing. I know for fact that the build process works on Windows, including ~300 users and AppVeyor CI servers. Another thing to make sure of is that your system has the proper build tools installed (https://simulatedgreg.gitbooks.io/electron-vue/content/en/getting_started.html#a-note-for-windows-users).

Other than fixing the __static bug that was discovered earlier in this thread, the rest of this thread does not pertain to an electron-vue issue. Please do not post error outputs without attempting to find solutions online, as not every issue or error log directly pertains to electron-vue.
