• Extracting the app.asar archive

npx asar extract app.asar <destfolder>

• __dirname is problematic in packaged mode, because the code for the main process is bundled as single file main.js (in webpack.config.main.prod.ts), and so when it is run the __dirname is the same current one app.asar/dist/main. This is problematic for this project as the used source-map package loads a file mappings.wasm from its lib folder using __dirname.

  One way to get around this is to use the source-map-js package which is a fork from the source-map before using Rust and WASM. The other way is to copy the mappings.wasm file in the release/app/dist/main before electron package. Done with a npm script copy:source-map-wasm.
