Invalid filename app.asar\node_modules, why? how can i fix it? | electronjs.org | Page 1

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 10:31 AM

#

I'm using a package when i try to create a new instance new something() i got this error

Error: Invalid filename
    app.asar\node_modules\adm-zip\adm-zip.js:57:19)
    app.asar\node_modules\generative-bayesian-network\bayesian-network.js:24:21)
   ... (and so on)

I check this page, https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/asar-archives , i can see some similarities but I don't understand how it works, can someone explain and help me?

ASAR Archives | Electron

What is ASAR archive and how does it affect the application.

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 10:32 AM

#

"I'm using a package"

#

ya mean ADM-ZIP?

#

how is this related to ASAR?

#

If you get this error you're doing something wrong with the library, read its doc

#

https://github.com/cthackers/adm-zip/blob/9e52c3fb9deca9726570d9621802d3d276a113a5/adm-zip.js#L57

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

this triggers the error
new FingerprintGenerator()

#

from this
import { FingerprintGenerator } from 'fingerprint-generator'

#

any idea @cerulean minnow ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

I can google it for you......

#

https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite/issues/212

#

you should make you own research before asking for help :/

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

I'm really sorry, I was focus on doc 😦 MB, thank you very much 🙏

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

GitHub issues is a great place to find all sort of things

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

I'm not used to search there tbh, I need to get that habbit ... btw, they show the issue but not the solution right? i need to edit the package inside node to make it work or there aren't any solution? I'm leaving home so i can't test right now xO

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 10:48 AM

#

I never used this package, I have not idea how it works, but you can probably get a hint by looking at the error, and find out if it's an actual bug, or you who missed something

#

see the part of ADM-ZIP that throws the error

#

how do you understand it?

#

module.exports = function (/**String*/ input, /** object */ options) {

[...]

 // if input is file name we retrieve its content
 if (input && "string" === typeof input) {
  // load zip file
  if (filetools.fs.existsSync(input)) {
    opts.method = Utils.Constants.FILE;
    opts.filename = input;
    inBuffer = filetools.fs.readFileSync(input);
  } else {
    throw new Error(Utils.Errors.INVALID_FILENAME);
  }
}

#

So, what could be the reason for the error to be thrown?

#

I want you to do the job of debugging

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

Driving 5min

#

I want you to guide me, not giving the solution, so I learn 😁

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 10:55 AM

#

I'm fine with that 🙂

#

and I don't know the solution anyway, but that how I would proceed

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 11:10 AM

#

I'm not back, so I will take some time to reply
Well we can see the "invalid file name error" there so the problem is on the filetools.fs.existsSync right?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 11:10 AM

#

not really a problem

#

it does its job

#

you want it to go to the if, but it goes to the else, why?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

Because the filetool fs is trying to check if file exist ? And probably its targeting the wrong path ? Dunno 😔

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 11:19 AM

#

wrong path, or correct path but the file is missing

#

ADMZip is a good library but the errors thrown often lack of details, the actual error you should get is "[input] doesn't exist"

#

So now you know ADM is trying to get a .zip file but can't find it

#

now the question is: what file?

#

go back to the error stack and check what is calling ADM

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

Hmmmm why it works on dev and not prod ? Because in Dev it's not ASAR ?
I will try to connect to my pc to copy past the error stack

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

the part you shared is enough

#

someone already did the debugging so you actually don't need to repeat the whole process, but you should find that yourself if you do the next step correctly

#

I think you are on the correct path though

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

I would say Adm-zip.js because it's the first error line, but if it is I have no clue why, can you explain to me ?

#

So the admn-zip.js is looking for a file .zip is that ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

Error: Invalid filename
    app.asar\node_modules\adm-zip\adm-zip.js:57:19)
    app.asar\node_modules\generative-bayesian-network\bayesian-network.js:24:21)
   ... (and so on)

The first line indeed tells you the error comes from adm-zip, line 57 character 19
the second line tell you what file is calling adm-zip, and on what line
the next tell you what file call the file calling adm-zip and so on

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

dark jackal So the admn-zip.js is looking for a file .zip is that ?

If you check ADM docs, you will understand what input is supposed to be

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 11:39 AM

#

Ok, I will try to check on my phone and come back to discuss with you
Thank you @cerulean minnow

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

I need a small help or guide, I'm feeling lost, don't even know what am I looking for again ...

#

String === typeof input

#

That one right ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

of you still there

#

we already figured out why ADM why throwing an error

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

I'm multitasking right now 🤣
Doing the laundry 🧺 haha

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 11:58 AM

#

What we are doing is the hard way so you understand, but if you want, you can actually find an explanation on this error by searching in the github issues of the library you use

#

the issue I gave you is specific for Electron, but there is another one

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

No, I would like to understand 😁
I will do another search ... I want to understand on the electron side, because I never had issues with the lib (I just migrated my project from node/normal js to electron, and I'm having some issues , that one and cluster one (I will investigate and solve that one later)

#

Input is the file name and existsync check if it's exist otherwise gives an error

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

yes

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

That's my best approach, or you were expecting a different answer ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 12:10 PM

#

no it's correct, you get the error because the file is not found, you can also guess that the file is supposed to be a zip archive, since it's what ADM reads and expects

#

Here is an example from ADM docs:

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:11 PM

#

Correct
And the file doesn't exist because the code can't write on that path, is that ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 12:12 PM

#

I'm not sure to understand what you mean?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:12 PM

#

Nevermind , what I said it was all wrong

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 12:13 PM

#

x)

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:13 PM

#

But why the file it's not found ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 12:13 PM

#

that's a good question

#

but I would first wonder what is this file and where it's supposed to be?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

That's the error question haha 😁
Like I said, in run Dev it works when I build it looks like the file is missing

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

cerulean minnow but I would first wonder what is this file and where it's supposed to be?

Correct ! 💪🏼

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

so it means something is different between the files you have in dev and the files you have in prod

#

wanna do the whole debugging process using the error stack or try to solve the issue using existing GitHub issues on the subject?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:18 PM

#

If you got time yes ... But I would prefer to do it in front of my computer instead of my phone ... For that I need like 20min xO

#

Any one that you think it's the best to learn

#

One it's more global and the other one it's specific from electron

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 12:20 PM

#

Hmm, I think it's important to know how to debug because sometimes you don't have the chance that someone already had the same problem as you and if you don't know how to debug yourself you end up stuck. This is also useful if you need to create a ticket/issue on a repo.

#

But it takes more time too, and in the end you're not even sure you can fix the bug

#

now I think the two existing issues already give enough data to try to solve your problem

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

Perfect ❤️
As soon as I get home I @you here
Brb

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

back you there @cerulean minnow ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

ya

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:16 PM

#

so, lets go fix this issue! 😄
were are we and whats the next step?

#

this is the full error:

Error: Invalid filename
    app.asar\node_modules\adm-zip\adm-zip.js:57:19)
    app.asar\node_modules\generative-bayesian-network\bayesian-network.js:24:21)

    app.asar\out\main\index.js:1600:21)
    app.asar\out\main\index.js:1581:11)

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

depends on how you want to proceed ^^

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

wanna do the whole debugging process using the error stack
can we?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

okay

#

so we already found what's wrong with the first line, but we don't know what is the missing zip

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

Find error in module repo

#

I am pretty sure it's fail on .asar check

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

yeah yeah we are doing that step by step Timosh

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

Hi Timosh 🙂

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

you're good at debugging too

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

Hi

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

So Ussa, do you understand which module calls adm?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

not sure, bayesian-network.js?

#

*generative-bayesian-network

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

yes

#

find the repo of this module to find this file

#

it's actually a compiled file, the original is a .ts

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite/blob/master/packages/generative-bayesian-network/src/bayesian-network.ts

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

nice

#

do you see where ADM is initialized?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

line 15? const zip = new AdmZip(path);

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

yes, there is also another one below but it doesn't pass a path so it's probably this first one

#

sadly we still don't know what the value of path is

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

right :/

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

so we have to continue in the error stack to see how BayesianNetwork is called

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

module header-generator file header-generator.js correct?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

yep

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite/blob/master/packages/header-generator/src/header-generator.ts
line 207

   this.inputGeneratorNetwork = new BayesianNetwork({ path: `${__dirname}/data_files/input-network-definition.zip` });
        this.headerGeneratorNetwork = new BayesianNetwork({ path: `${__dirname}/data_files/header-network-definition.zip` });

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

you faster than me x)

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

input-network-definition.zip
hmmm zip file! 😛

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

yeas we can see two of them

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

yup, same path different files

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:29 PM

#

yep, the what is the full path

#

__dirname is the parent directory of these files

#

and these files are in your node_modules

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:29 PM

#

what does that mean? the problem is here? no need to go deeper on error stack rigth? we found the .zip(s) path(s)

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:30 PM

#

I don't think you need to go deeper since now you know what are the missing files

#

if I'm not wrong, you should have these two zip somewhere in your node_modules

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:30 PM

#

the __dirname is the path from the source to the file where __dirname is right?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

cerulean minnow if I'm not wrong, you should have these two zip somewhere in your `node_modules`

on it, 1min

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

it's the path of the parent directory of the file where is this code

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

cerulean minnow I don't think you need to go deeper since now you know what are the missing file...

node_modules\header-generator\data_files

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

you see the zips?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

i have both files there

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

nice

#

that's why it works in dev

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

and I bet the files are missing in your packaged app

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:33 PM

#

i also bet that! any way to check?

#

or not worth?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

maybe it's better to check, because the first issue we found says ADM can't read from asar

#

what packager do you use?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

cerulean minnow what packager do you use?

what do you mean? npm?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

to package your app for prod

#

forge, builder, packager?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

"build:win": "npm run build && electron-builder --win --config",

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

builder okay

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

i'm new at electron, so i try to use the most basic as possible

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

so to see what's packaged you can temporarily disable asar

#

asar: false

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

is forge better? i saw that one, didn't read about it yet

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

It's a matter of opinion

#

I prefer builder, but Forge is official

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

cerulean minnow `asar: false`

where? 😅

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

in your builder config

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:37 PM

#

electron-builder.yml?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:37 PM

#

I suppose?

#

what do you have on this file?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

okay

#

so add asar: false

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

where? anywhere ?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

yes

#

it's not a nested option

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

ok, set at the end, should i build now?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

yes

#

you should have a warning telling you it's bad to have asar disabled

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

hmmm nop 🤣

#

finished

#

everything looks the same O.O (on build path)

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

I'm not familiar with yml format

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

what are we expecting and where?

#

i will google it

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

maybe you should write asar: False

#

https://www.cloudbees.com/blog/yaml-tutorial-everything-you-need-get-started#booleans

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:43 PM

#

weird the others are false not False let's try

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:44 PM

#

oh yeah you're right

#

are you sure it's not disabled?

#

if it's disabled you should be able to find your packaged files without an asar archive

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:45 PM

#

not sure ... just saw something interesting ...

"FingerprintInjector" is imported from external module "fingerprint-injector" but never used in "src/main/Utility/browser/Browser.js".

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:45 PM

#

ESLint warning 🙂

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:46 PM

#

wrong one

#

xD

#

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:46 PM

#

in win-unpacked what do you have?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:46 PM

#

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:47 PM

#

in resources?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:47 PM

#

inside app

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

right it's good

#

so, now check what's inside node_modules?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

so i don't need the flag i always have that (for some reason)

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

dark jackal so i don't need the flag i always have that (for some reason)

and builder don't warn you?

#

that's super weird

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

cerulean minnow so, now check what's inside `node_modules`?

need to find the .zip here? or try to?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:49 PM

#

yes try to see if the zips are here

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:49 PM

#

cerulean minnow that's super weird

owww i'm using this one
https://electron-vite.org/

#

yes they are

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

I was not expecting that

#

no asar and the files are here

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:51 PM

#

\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app\node_modules\header-generator\data_files

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:52 PM

#

hmmmmmm

#

still in node_module, can you find the file header-generator\header-generator.js and check what's on line 130?

#

Is supposed to be the path we saw but I want to be sure

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

js or ts? the js it's all converted 😒

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

and you sure your app was not in asar before? Have you tried to start it again to see if the error's still here?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

dark jackal js or ts? the js it's all converted 😒

the .js

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:55 PM

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

okay so nothing new

#

try to start your app again to be sure?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

#

now it work 😐

#

i will remove the asar an try again

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

so you probably had asar

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

is that good or bad?

i rly need to read about asar more

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

well, not good or bad, but I think it means some module must be outside of asar

#

I have no idea how this can work, but builder as an option asarUnpack to move what you want outside of asar archive, it's required for native modules

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

asar: true -> not working
asar: false -> working

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

Maybe @glad bane will have better insights on this than me

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

i was reading this
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/asar-archives#adding-unpacked-files-to-asar-archives
didn't understand how it works ...

#

ok, let's wait for Timosh opinion, thank you very much Arkellys 🙂 I learn some new things today 😄

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:03 PM

#

opinion in what?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:03 PM

#

basically, there a two zip files in node_modules

#

which are not found when in asar

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

are they exists in asar?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

yep

#

existsSync(input) returns false

#

but the path is correct

#

and the fs used is the one from ADM-ZIP

#

the first issue we found did say it can't read in asar

#

are they exists in asar?
not sure what you mean with that, but with asar: false we can check the modules and the .zip files are there
with asar: true i can't check the modules folder

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

original-fs unable to work witn asar

#

thats the point

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

hmm hmm yes

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

hmmmm

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

if zips are in asar

#

you getting an error

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

would it work to put the module with the zip outside of asar with asarUnpack?

#

I'm a bit afraid it will messes up with the paths

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

dont think so

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

damn

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

let's try that @cerulean minnow ? 😄

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

I'm afraid the module is just not compatible

#

https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite/issues/34

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

i dont know the point for zip file to have http headers in it

#

how you used it?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

well .. and whats the big diff / consern in using asar: false? what does it change?

cerulean minnow Dec 28, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

size

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

its disable asar

#

as a feature

#

instead of having 20000+ files you have only one

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

glad bane how you used it?

import { FingerprintInjector } from 'fingerprint-injector'
new FingerprintGenerator()

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

why you use it?

#

scrap?

#

no

#

scrapping is bad

#

always

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

ow, sorry

#

it's all about learning purposes

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

i dont think so

#

never seen ppl emulate browser environment for learing purposes

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

as you can see i have question, i'm learning and trying different things

#

how do you learn QA without emulate a browser? 😄

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

learn qa?

#

you didnt emulate it

#

you trick website protection

#

by creating fake fingerprint

#

to bypass website protection?

#

to getting data you didnt supposed to get

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

I'm QA on a company where we use Robot Framework, we need to bypass protection to improve security

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

how it is related to electron?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

electron I'm learning like a said before, and using public repos, and testing, atm my electron peject barely works as you can see

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

and bypassing protection didnt improve security

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

ok ...
sorry

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

its like using cracked game to impose system security

#

or using cracked application

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

well, no, i don't agree with you, going to www.whatever.com/checkprice/231sad3 it's free and everyone have access to it, using cracking games no. that's super no, but i get your point

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

how it is related to security?

dark jackal Dec 28, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

it's not

glad bane Dec 28, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

if you able to use www.whatever.com/checkprice/231sad3 then use it

#

from browser

#

how it supposed to be

#

if it have open api then use it

#Invalid filename app.asar\node_modules, why? how can i fix it?
