Latest electron-builder install still emits inflight/glob/rimraf deprecation warnings
Author: konardCreated Jul 16, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026
Environment
electron-builder: 26.15.3 (latest when tested)- npm on GitHub-hosted Node 22 runners
Reproduction
npm install --no-audit --no-fundwith electron-builder in devDependencies emits deprecations for [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. npm ls traces them through electron-builder packaging dependencies (including app-builder-lib / @electron/asar and electron-winstaller). A public CI reproduction is https://github.com/link-assistant/formal-ai/actions/runs/29465138404.
Expected
Installing the current supported release on Node 22 should not emit deprecations from transitive dependencies.
Suggested fix
Upgrade or replace the legacy glob/rimraf dependency chains; consider making platform-specific makers optional so NSIS-only consumers do not install the Windows Squirrel toolchain.
