electron-prebuilt error when deployed to Heroku

[dylanvalade]

My app works locally using the CNN example. However, after a Heroku build and deploy this error is logged when Nightmare is called.

Error: spawn /tmp/build_aa182f5bde01ee44f4dcea91b391b552/node_modules/nightmare/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/electron ENOENT

looks like the same issue as #224

This is very different from #224 - this fails trying to start electron-prebuilt.

It looks like the /tmp/build... path comes from electron-prebuilt using __dirname in its install script, which has unexpected behavior on Heroku. This gets written into path.txt in electron-prebuilt. So I'm fairly sure it's a bug in electron-prebuilt.

(Regretfully, after fixing this it does run into the same issue as #224 .)

Hi, I am having the same issue on OS X (10.10.5) any ideas? Thanks.

[yoz]

@felixcrive the fix I referenced above should be fixed in electron 0.36.0 - does it work if you use the electronPath option with that newer electron?

[felixcrive]

@yoz I doesn't work I have electron-prebuilt@0.36.2 and Nightmare@2.1.2 pointing to electronPath.

Given the age of this issue, I'm going to close it. If you're still experiencing this issue, feel free to open a new issue.
