- Bump Node.js to version 18. This change is necessary as Node.js v16
will reach end-of-life on 2023-09-11. It also ensure compatibility
with dependencies requiring minimum of Node.js v18, such as `vite`,
`@vitejs`plugin-legacy` and `icon-gen`.
- Bump `setup-node` action to v4.
- Recommend using the `nvm` tool for managing Node.js versions in the
documentation.
- Update documentation to point to code reference for required Node.js
version. This removes duplication of information, and keeps the code
as single source of truth for required Node.js version.
- Refactor code to adopt the `node:` protocol for Node API imports as
per Node.js 18 standards. This change addresses ambiguities and aligns
with Node.js best practices (nodejs/node#38343). Currently, there is
no ESLint rule to enforce this protocol, as noted in
import-js/eslint-plugin-import#2717.
- Replace `cross-fetch` dependency with the native Node.js fetch API
introduced in Node.js 18. Adjust type casting for async iterable read
streams to align with the latest Node.js APIs, based on discussions in
DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#65542.
This commit makes the build process more robust, simplifies
configurations and reduce the risk of incomplete or erroneous
deployments.
- Centralize output directory definitions by introducing
`dist-dirs.json`.
- Add `verify-build-artifacts` utility to ensure correct build outputs
and `print-dist-dir` to determine distribution directory.
- Add steps in CI/CD pipeline to verify build artifacts.
- Migrate Electron Builder config from YAML to CJS for capability to
read JSON.
- Fix `release-site.yaml` failing due to pointing to wrong distribution
directory, change it to use `print-dist-dir`.
- Improve `check-desktop-runtime-errors` to verify build artifacts for
more reliable builds. Ensure tests fail and succeed reliably.
- Update `.gitignore` and configure ESLint to use it to define and
ignore build artifact directories from one place, remove
`.eslintignore` that does not add anything after this change.
- Keep `"main"` field in `package.json` as `electron-vite` depends on it
(alex8088/electron-vite#270).
- Improve documentation
