[virushan]

I followed your tutorial here:
https://github.com/Aluxian/electron-superkit/wiki/Install-Dependencies
https://github.com/Aluxian/electron-superkit/wiki/Building-&-Watching

unfortunately both build & watch is throwing "Error: Fatal error: Unable to load file"

Here is the exact output:

[aluxian]

Could you please paste that log again inside a code block?

(here's how: https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/ see the code example).

I suspect there might be something missing in it.

That error is probably thrown here: https://github.com/Aluxian/electron-superkit/blob/master/tasks/build.coffee#L88

Can you check that file './build/win32/electron.exe' exists? You could also comment out that line, it should still work. However, your exe won't have the correct properties.

[virushan]

'./build/win32/electron.exe' doesn't exist. I tried gulp download:win32 executed without any errors however file was not downloaded to directory specified 'outputDir'.
https://github.com/Aluxian/electron-superkit/blob/master/tasks/download.coffee#L21

I commeted the code as you mentioned above https://github.com/Aluxian/electron-superkit/blob/master/tasks/build.coffee#L88 which removed the error log but it doesn't build as expected. same issue with gulp watch:win32

[aluxian]

Can you remove the build and cache folders and try again?

[virushan]

I tried removing both build and cache folders unfortunately that did not help.

I did couple of testing my self.

tried gulp download:win32 did not download but this is the log I get:

tried to change the download directory specified in ['win32', 'ia32', 'win32', './build/win32'] https://github.com/Aluxian/electron-superkit/blob/master/tasks/download.coffee#L19
to ['win32', 'ia32', 'win32', './test/win32'] which did not throw any errors still says successful.

downloaded electron.exe manually pasted under './build/win32' build successfully however when I open the build file it doesn't open. I've also noticed resource folder remain unchanged. did not see .asar file either

[aluxian]

Does it work if you replace './build/win32' with 'build\win32'?

I don't know what else to suggest, sorry.
