I tried to clean npm caches, remove all modules and reinstall it, delete electron-builder caches but nothing happened.
I tested to build the same project in other computer and it works fine.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Thank in advance

Answer 1

If anyone has a similar error I have found the problem: it must not have unicode characters in the electron builder cache path. In my case it was my windows user session.
To change electron cache path:
export ELECTRON_BUILDER_CACHE=C:\Temp
And run npm run dist or yarn dist
Hope this answer can help someone in the future.
