Current electron-forge-maker-snap package doesn't work with latest electron-forge.

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

electron-forge-maker-nsis seems to be having the same problems.

I was able to get past this error by specifying a config key for 'dir', but started running up other errors.

Something along the lines of

const MakerBase = require('@electron-forge/maker-base').default;
const buildForge = require('app-builder-lib').buildForge;

Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", {
  value: true
})

class MakerSnap extends MakerBase {

  isSupportedOnCurrentPlatform() {
    return Promise.resolve(true);
  }

  async make(options) {
    return buildForge(options, {linux: [`snap:${options.targetArch}`]})
  }
}

exports.default = MakerSnap;

might work, but I'm not up to speed on how these forge plugins need to be configured.

It is relevant!

Hey everyone and thanks for all of your work on this!

Is there any plan of providing maker targets for electron-forge v6? Would a PR implementing something like it be accepted/released?
