Whilst deploying the latest version of our backend app I get the following error message:

Error: Failed to find Electron v1.8.0 for linux-x64 at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.8.0/electron-v1.8.0-linux-x64.zip

As a consequence, our deploy is failing.

This is the log:

Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this? This version has some critical bug fixes in it.

Thanks in advance,

Seems it’s down to a security issue that this version was removed. Found this in my Yarn log file:

warning nightmare > electron@1.8.0: this beta version of electron has been removed due to a security vulnerability. To get the latest beta, run ‘npm install electron@beta’

Unfortunately there seems to be no way to force the Galaxy script to take version 1.7.8. Even though it’s named in the Yarn.lock, packages.json and packages-lock.json file.

Wonderful, that is the downside of managed services. At least we could fix it ourselves if we would manage it :frowning:
