electron-builder: Error: No update available, can't quit and install

Glad to see I’m not the only one having this same exact issue

Yep…issue with the 3.1.x package(s). 3.0.3 works great.

I got it working on electron-updater - 4.0.6 and electron-builder - 20.36.2. This is what i was doing before

autoUpdater.downloadUpdate().then(() => {
    autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(true, true);
}).catch(downloadError => {
    console.error(downloadError);
});

Because of some timing issue, i had to wait for update-downloaded to be fired and the call quitAndInstall and then i changed it to below code

autoUpdater.on('update-downloaded', (ev, info) => {
    autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(true, true);
});


autoUpdater.downloadUpdate().then(() => {
    console.log('wait for post download operation');
}).catch(downloadError => {
    console.error(downloadError);
});

Update: With electron-updater version 3.0.3 OSX updates work (May work with more recent releases as well, didn’t test)

As a workaround I’m setting autoUpdater.autoInstallOnAppQuit = true and asking the user to quit the app in a dialog… any updates on this?
