I saw that Test App ßW.xml was generated during the test instead of testapp.xml. Should I change testapp.xml in the test file to Test App ßW.xml? Or is there any other way for me to fix this error?

I changed testapp.xml in test/src/linux/debTest.ts:107 to Test App ßW.xml, and the tests running on my computer passed, but I don't know if this change is reasonable.

This looks correct but I'll need to double check the full logic flow when I can find a chance. (Currently working on some other high-pri issues)

mmaietta · 2025-05-19T15:34:01Z

@hbcraft is this resolving a specific github issue? Just wondering if there's an issue we can link this PR to for closing it

FYI Because I am uploading to snap, this broke my build. My name has only alphanumeric and dashes, but my productName has a period. I imagine you probably don't want to retroactively consider this a breaking change; just noting.

I fixed the problem by setting executableName in the linux property in my electron-builder config.

mmaietta · 2025-06-06T21:56:20Z

Hmmm thanks for calling that out. I am hesitant to consider this a breaking change as it's technically fixing a bug -> prod behavior is different than what the jsdoc's states the behavior should be.

Just curious, what did you set the executableName to?

tjcouch-sil · 2025-06-09T15:10:52Z

Here is the change I made. My package.json has "name": "platform-bible", but my electron-builder config has productName: 'Platform.Bible', so I needed to add executableName: 'platform-bible' in the linux property in the electron-builder config.

Indeed, I figured it would be difficult to consider this a breaking change. Reminds me of this XKCD comic:

* Executable name change "electron-mail => ElectronMail" in v5.3.1 got caused by electron-userland/electron-builder#9068.

* Unintentional "electron-mail => ElectronMail" renaming in v5.3.1 got caused by electron-userland/electron-builder#9068.
