Windows 10 electron forge icon isn't working

I'm trying to publish my electron app, And I'm using the following code in the package.json:

  "packagerConfig": {
    "icon": "./src/icon.ico"
  },

But when I use electron forge and look into out/win32-x64 directory, the single executable is the default electron icon, when I run it the icon appears both in the app top right corner, as well as the shortcut icon.

I've scoured the internet and couldn't find a fix for this.

Heres the github with the code: https://github.com/Paxxous/Extremely-minamilistic-text-editor

Solution

  • Okay so it was just a weird bug that I found, You just have to move the exe out of the directory and then it would show. (Though also make sure to remove the out folder just in case)
