@sindresorhus did you resolve this? Your builds seem to be passing now: https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/caprine/builds

Your snippet didn't include it but are you 100% that the linux build overwriting message was just a warning and not a factor on the failure?

@alibosworth The issue is still present (it affects only the builds that are publishing build artifacts to GitHub), and the overwriting warning is unrelated. Here's a newer log, without these warnings:

https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/caprine/builds/574252506

See electron-userland/electron-builder#4134

hacdias · 2019-09-03T06:56:15Z

So the problem is solved for me: there was another, different, error buried deeper in the logs which was the true cause of failure. 21.0.15 added the feature to add to snapstore by default and that should have been a breaking change.

electron-userland/electron-builder#4134

mx2323 · 2019-10-16T15:45:30Z

to anyone with this issue - i was able to get around this by getting the snap upload to work.

you need to install snapCraft, then login, then do a snapcraft register, then it should work.

mifi · 2019-11-05T12:03:47Z

I added -c.snap.publish=github to the command line (see https://www.electron.build/configuration/publish). This causes it to still build snap but only publish it to github, so don't need to register for snapcraft.

So, after a lot of trial and error, I've got a work around. I ended up lowering version number for electron to 6.0.11. I don't think this is the solution, but this has got the application bundling and shipping code. I'd love a more permanent solution, and I'm happy to help in any way I can.

marckohlbrugge · 2020-06-01T00:04:58Z

It seems like the problem is related to the snapcraft provider. It's a default provider for linux builds, so you'll need to set your own through package.json. For example:

"linux": {
  "publish": ["github"]
}

That overrides the default which includes snapcraft. You could probably use an empty array ([]) as well.

electron-userland/electron-builder#4134 (comment)

hovancik · 2020-07-04T20:35:29Z

For me, adding following does not help:

"linux": {
  "publish": ["github"]
}

The same with adding -c.snap.publish=github

Also tried following without success.

    "snap": {
      "publish": "github"
    },

Also tried installing snapd and snapcraft but no change ;/
