升级 electron 30 后 electron-builder 需要降级到 24.9.1 ，目前只能二选一等上游解决这个问题，这个冲突只影响 action 本地构建没事。我建议降级 electron-builder @88250

[88250]

@Soltus 多谢指点，我马上试试！

[Soltus]

@88250 工作流似乎没有必要现在就升级到 node 22，大部分 action 都是基于 node 20 的，还是保持一致比较好

[Soltus]

pnpm 9.0.6 是没问题的 https://github.com/Hi-Windom/Sillot/actions/runs/8868983094/job/24349164505
目前看起来唯一的不同就是 nod 22 了

@Soltus 多谢了，降级 Node 20 和 Builder 24.9.1 后 Action 构建成功了。

I'm getting this with 24.13.1 on Windows but 24.13.0 works fine. Using pnpm and Electron v29. I wonder if this is caused by #8052...

EDIT: We're experiencing timeouts of our electron-builder E2Es on Windows when using Electron 30, which may be related. Sticking to Electron 29 and electron-builder@24.13.0 for now.

I have the same issue, using

• pnpm 9.1.1
• electron 30.0.3
• electron-builder 24.13.3

Downgrading electron-builder to 24.9.1 solved the issue as a workaround for me.

Downgrading to 24.13.0 seems to work for us. 24.13.1 is the first version to not work in our case.

Seems to be related to long file paths in Windows. If the working directory is moved closer to root it works with 24.13.3 (shorten the file paths).
This is particularly relevant for Windows CI, as runners tend to force a long initial file path before the repo directory, and then absolute paths from there become very long.

We are also using pnpm, so this is potentially an interaction with the tree structure pnpm uses for node_modules.
