'use strict' /** * before-pack.mjs — electron-builder beforePack hook. * * Two responsibilities: * * 1. Removes any stale unpacked app directory (`appOutDir`) before * electron-builder stages the Electron binaries into it. * * WHY THIS EXISTS * --------------- * electron-builder's final packaging step copies the stock `electron` * binary into `release/-unpacked/` and then renames it to the * product name (`Hermes`). If a PREVIOUS `npm run pack` was interrupted * (Ctrl-C, OOM kill, crash, full disk) the unpacked directory is left in a * corrupted partial state: it keeps the already-renamed `LICENSE.electron.txt` * and the Chromium payload (.pak/.so/icudtl.dat/chrome-sandbox) but is MISSING * the `electron` binary itself. * * On the next run, electron-builder sees the destination directory already * populated, skips re-copying the binary it thinks is present, then tries to * rename a `electron` file that no longer exists. The build dies with: * * ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename * '.../release/linux-unpacked/electron' -> '.../release/linux-unpacked/Hermes' * * This is a hard failure with no obvious cause for the user — `hermes desktop` * just prints "Desktop GUI build failed" and the only fix is to manually * `rm -rf` the release directory, which a normal user has no way to know. * * The packaging step is not idempotent across an interrupted run, so we make * it idempotent ourselves: wipe the target unpacked directory up front so * electron-builder always stages into a clean tree. This is safe — the * directory is a pure build artifact that electron-builder fully recreates * on every pack; nothing else depends on its prior contents. * * Cross-platform: the same partial-state trap exists on macOS * (the mac-unpacked Hermes.app bundle) and Windows (win-unpacked), so we * clean whatever `appOutDir` electron-builder hands us regardless of platform. * * Best-effort: a cleanup failure must never mask the real build. We log and * resolve rather than throw — worst case electron-builder hits the original * ENOENT, which is no worse than not having this hook at all. * * 2. Re-stages node-pty's native files for the ACTUAL target platform/arch * of this pack. `npm run build` already staged node-pty once for the * host machine (see scripts/stage-native-deps.mjs), which is correct for * single-arch builds matching the host. But electron-builder can target * a different arch than the host (cross-build), or pack multiple archs * from one `npm run build` (e.g. `dist:mac` => x64 + arm64). Only this * hook knows the real per-target arch, via `context.arch` / * `context.electronPlatformName` — so it re-stages on top of whatever * `npm run build` left behind, per target, right before files are read * for packing. * * electron-builder passes a context with: * - appOutDir: the unpacked app directory about to be staged * - electronPlatformName: 'win32' | 'darwin' | 'linux' * - arch: Arch enum (0=ia32, 1=x64, 2=armv7l, 3=arm64, 4=universal) */ import { existsSync, rmSync } from 'node:fs' import { Arch } from 'electron-builder' import { stageNodePty } from './stage-native-deps.mjs' export function cleanStaleAppOutDir(appOutDir) { if (!appOutDir || typeof appOutDir !== 'string') { return false } if (!existsSync(appOutDir)) { return false } // Recursive + force so a half-written tree (read-only bits, partial files) // can't block the wipe. retry/maxRetries rides out transient EBUSY on // Windows where an AV/indexer may briefly hold a handle. rmSync(appOutDir, { recursive: true, force: true, maxRetries: 5, retryDelay: 100 }) return true } export default async function beforePack(context) { const appOutDir = context && context.appOutDir try { if (cleanStaleAppOutDir(appOutDir)) { console.log(`[before-pack] removed stale unpacked dir before staging: ${appOutDir}`) } } catch (err) { // Never fail the build over cleanup; surface why so a genuinely stuck // directory (permissions, mount) is still diagnosable. console.warn(`[before-pack] could not clean ${appOutDir} (${err.message}); continuing`) } try { const platform = context && context.electronPlatformName const archName = context && typeof context.arch === 'number' ?
