writeBinaryFile **DOES NOT WORK** even though correct USAGE! [2021 ISSUE]

[copyandexecute]

Dear Tauri Team,
I am trying to download a jar file and then save it with your provided funcation "writeBinaryFile". Unfortunately it does not work.

await axios({
         url: '/downloads/client/latest.jar',
         method: "GET",
         responseType: "blob", // important
         onDownloadProgress: (progressEvent) => {
           setProgress(Math.round((progressEvent.loaded * 100) / progressEvent.total));
         }
       }).then(async value => {
         const mcDir = await promisified({cmd: "minecraftDir"});
         console.log(mcDir)
         console.log(value)
         console.log(value.data)
         await writeBinaryFile({contents: value.data, path: mcDir + "/norisk/test.jar"}, {});
       })

It creates an EMPTY + CORRUPTED File.
Whats the correct use?

Your sincerely,
Max

The issue is basically that writeBinaryFile in the JS api does not call WriteBinaryFile in the rust API, but instead calls WriteFile in the Rust API with the file contents base64 encoded. So you may find, that your jar file that is saved in your filesystem is fine, it just needs to be base64 decoded, as base64 -d corrupted_file > good_file.

I am working on a fix now.

@copyandexecute You might try pulling down the dev branch and making sure your issue is resolved? Otherwise I think a new release is coming out soon with this fix. Thanks
