electron-builder does not seem to fully support custom publish providers

[strisys]

• Versions/targets:
  • electron: 12.0.5, current
  • electron-updater 4.3.8
  • Target: windows

The error is not with electron but with the publish capability of electron-builder using a custom publish provider

   package.json
  -----------------
   ....
    "publish": {
      "provider": "custom"
    }

I have a custom provider implemented to publish to Microsoft Azure (nsis-custom-publish.zip) and only some of the files make it there but not all. What is also interesting is that when I DO NOT publish (i.e. --publish never) I observe the following error.

ERROR: "eb-build" exited with 1.

I am doubtful this error is indicative of the real problem. Any help would be appreciated otherwise I can write my own publisher script outside of using electron-builder. Thank you

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

A custom provider should be supported in the latest 22.11.8
