throw new Error(error)
does not terminate the SEA process when used via Forge'sMakerSquirrel
.I had a case where due to a misconfiguration an error was thrown in the
try
block and subsequently caught in thecatch
block that this PR modifies. The process didn't exit upon reachingthrow new Error(error)
. Instead, it kept running indefinitely. (This reproduced reliably every time I ran it.)As a result, my
electron-forge make
command kept running indefinitely (without succeeding or failing) becausesquirrel.exe --releasify
thought signing (via the SEA) was still ongoing.My guess is that it has something to do with stdout/stderr. If I log the error in the
catch
block usingconsole.log
orconsole.error
, the process also does not terminate.The issue was hard to debug. It took me ~4 hours to figure out. Hope this will save someone else from having to do the same.
