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

bash
npm install --no-audit --no-fund

with 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.
