asar option doesn't put anything in app.asar

[rahatarmanahmed]

Running Windows x64
Building win32-x64
electron-packager v4.1.3
Options:

// My script handles arguments, but I tested with the following values.
var platform = 'win32';
var arch =  'x64'
var packagerOpts = {
    dir: __dirname + '/..',
    name: 'Squelch-' + platform + '-' + arch,
    asar: true,
    version: pkg.devDependencies['electron-prebuilt'].match(/\d+\.\d+\.\d/)[0],
    platform: platform,
    arch: arch,
    out: __dirname + '/../release',
    prune: true,
    ignore: [
    '/test($|/)',
    '/tools($|/)',
    '/scripts($|/)',
    '/release($|/)',
    ]
};
packager(packagerOpts, function(err, path) {
    if(err) { throw err; }
    console.log('Successfully built package at ' + path);
});

The build completes without errors, but my app.asar seems to be empty. I can run asar list resources/resources/app.asar and it won't output anything. My app code is there in resources/app, and removing that makes the app open the default_app instead, so it's definitely not loading from app.asar.

...Actually, why is my app code there as a folder? Either the asar option doesn't work right or that just ruins the point of asar.

This sounds like #81 and #73 which have been resolved on master (but not in a release yet).

Edit: now available in 4.2.0.

I believe this is fixed in 4.2.0 and 5.0.0 so I'm closing this. Let us know if you still experience this issue after updating. Thanks!
