Building DMG hangs on OSX High Sierra

[BeardedUnicorn]

• Version: 19.30.2

• Target: Mac DMG

I have been building the last couple weeks with OSX Sierra and things have been building without a hitch. I just upgraded to High Sierra this afternoon, and I'm unable to build DMG's anymore.

(Attached DEBUG log)

returns

hdiutil: create: Only one image can be created at a time.
Usage:	hdiutil create <sizespec> [options] <imagepath>
	hdiutil create -help

[develar]

For now building works ONLY on macOS High Sierra on CI servers. e.g. on Travis. (xcode9.0).

Only one image can be created at a time.

If you execute command directly, don't forget to escape args. -volname "Our Utility"

Yes — hdiutil hangs forever (99% CPU).

[enami]

Same here. It looks like hdiutil of macOS High Sierra hangs eating cpu if multiple -srcfolder options are given.
I wrote quick throwaway script to work around this, since I need to pack my application on High Sierra today (note that the script does not cleanup temporary directory).

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" = create ]; then
   tmpdir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/hdiutil.XXXXX)
   shift 1
   while [ X"$1" = X'-srcfolder' ]
   do
	cp -pr $2 ${tmpdir}/.
	shift 2 	 
   done
   exec /usr/bin/hdiutil create -srcfolder ${tmpdir} ${1+"$@"}
else
   exec /usr/bin/hdiutil ${1+"$@"}
fi

19.30.4

[Andrew1431]

I'm trying to set up a coworker with the ability to build our application for work, and we keep getting stuck here. I'm successfully building on version 17.8.0, but am getting the same issue he is on 19.30.4 (or latest too). If I downgrade to 17.8.0 it is successful, but if he downgrades to 17.8.0 it is unsuccessful. Is there a way I can "snapshot" all my packages and get his environment to copy all my versions so he can successfully build? I am resigning in a week and a half, but am currently the only employee that is able to build our production application.

[develar]

@Andrew1431 Step 1: Use yarn and yarn.lock

[Andrew1431]

Okay, so after much hassle getting yarn working, we now are
a) Synced node versions at v6.11.4
b) Synced npm versions at 3.10.10
c) Synced yarn install with yarn.lock
d) Synced OS at FUCK we're not syncronized. I just updated to latest OS, and it only put me at 10.12.6 while my co-worker is somehow at 10.13.

I'm going to have to assume this is the issue. How does he have beta-access or extra access to sierra? Or are these updates sent in batches?

Edit: to add, I can still build my DMG without issue.

[Andrew1431]

Okay, I had another co-worker reproduce the steps, and he was able to do it without issue on 10.12.6. I think this issue re-occured in in OS 10.13.

[develar]

10.13 high Sierra is released, please upgrade. Please use node 8 if possible.
Please set env DEBUG=electron-builder and attach log of the terminal outputn.

[Andrew1431]

So on his computer,

Hung here for about 10 minutes now. He is on OS 10.13, and is now using latest "Current" node downloaded from the internet, aka 8.7.0.

I'm on v6.11.4 node still but I'm still successfully building on 10.12.6. Here is my finished build output with the DEBUG flag.

[develar]

@Andrew1431 you use old version of electron builder. Remove node_modules and install using yarn.

[Andrew1431]

Thanks, took a while to get it to work, but all is good :)
