Problems with packaging safe_browser

General Support
1

I have been trying for a few days now to follow the guide How to develop for the SAFE Network (draft) but to no avail. I can successfully yarn start the browser, but when I come to yarn run package it will fail every single time. The step that fails is “Building DMG”, this is the output I get… I am currently on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.

Building DMG

Warning: Do not specify path for application: "dist/mac/Beaker Browser.app". Actual path to app will be used instead.

Error: Cannot find specified resource "dist/mac/Beaker Browser.app", nor relative to "/Users/david/Git/safe_browser/build", neither relative to project dir ("/Users/david/Git/safe_browser")

It’s important to note also that I am trying to build the very latest commit, this is partly due to an issue with the version of electron-builder used in the alpha-2 tag. If anyone can give me any guidance on how to proceed or how to fix this issue it will be greatly appreciated :grinning:

It almost seems to me that there is a reference to “Beaker Browser” hanging around somewhere that should be renamed to “SAFE Browser.” In the dist folder it is complaining about, there does exist a SAFE Browser.app. When I have the time I will look into this myself, unless someone else has a better explanation!
