Important Notes

ElectronNET.API & ElectronNET.CLI Version 5.22.12

Make sure you also have the new Electron.NET CLI 5.22.12 version. This now uses electron-builder and the necessary configuration to build is made in the electron.manifest.json file. In addition, own Electron.NET configurations are stored. Please make sure that your electron.manifest.json file has the following new structure:

{
  "executable": "{{executable}}",
  "splashscreen": {
    "imageFile": ""
  },
  "singleInstance": false,
  "build": {
    "appId": "com.{{executable}}.app",
    "productName": "{{executable}}",
    "copyright": "Copyright © 2019",
    "buildVersion": "1.0.0",
    "compression": "maximum",
    "directories": {
      "output": "../../../bin/Desktop"
    },
    "extraResources": [
      {
        "from": "./bin",
        "to": "bin",
        "filter": ["**/*"]
      }
    ],
    "files": [
      {
        "from": "./ElectronHostHook/node_modules",
        "to": "ElectronHostHook/node_modules",
        "filter": ["**/*"]
      },
      "**/*"
    ]
  }
}

ElectronNET.CLI Version 0.0.9

In the Version 0.0.9 the CLI was not a global tool and needed to be registred like this in the .csproj:

    <ItemGroup>
         <DotNetCliToolReference Include="ElectronNET.CLI" Version="0.0.9" />
    </ItemGroup>

If you still use this version you will need to install Cake.Electron.Net v0.0.9
