How Can I fix it?

This is my yml file for github action

name: Build/release

on: push

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}

    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [windows-latest] 
        package_manager: [npm]
        #  macos-latest, ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Check out Git repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - name: Install Node.js, NPM and Yarn
        uses:  actions/setup-node@v2.1.2
        with:
          node-version: '10.16.3'

      - name: Build/release Electron app
        uses: samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder@v1.6.0
        with:
          # GitHub token, automatically provided to the action
          # (No need to define this secret in the repo settings)
          github_token: ${{ secrets.github_token }}

          # If the commit is tagged with a version (e.g. "v1.0.0"),
          # release the app after building
          release: ${{ startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v') }}

I assume it's because you specify package_manager: [npm] but it needs yarn to run?

[richard457]

Actually, they are both supported as per documentation.

Let me test with yarn will get back to you. @juliangruber

I have the same problem with vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder (that is implicitly used when adding electron-builder via vue add electron-builder):

Instead now I use the built-in publish of electron-builder.

Here are my configs [ Note the Recommended GitHub Releases Workflow of electron-builder ]:

• GitHub Actions workflow: release-electron.yml
• and the electron-builder config, due to vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder in vue.config

---

FYI:

Yarn is strongly recommended instead of npm.
