Shows terminal window when auto-launch

[MonFig]

Hi there I met a issue that my Application shows Unix executable instead of Application in Users & Groups.

Therefore, when I login my Mac, a terminal window would open and shows

Once I stop the process, the application would quit.

and there is how I package the application:

"build": "concurrently \"npm run build-main\" \"npm run build-renderer\"",
build-main": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node --trace-warnings -r babel-register ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack --config webpack.config.main.prod.js --colors",
    "build-renderer": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node --trace-warnings -r babel-register ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack --config webpack.config.renderer.prod.js --colors",
"package": "npm run build && build --publish never",

Is there anything wrong with my code? Or is it how it supposed to be that way?

Could you please share the solution?

I'm having this same issue with my macOS Electron app. What was your solution?

Apparently this is the same as #28. Trying out v 5.0.2

I used

  const appPath = app.getPath('exe').split('.app/Content')[0] + '.app';
  let appAutoLauncher = new AutoLaunch({
    name: 'AppName',
    path: appPath
  });

solve the problem.

I think the origin code makes the executable file auto-lauch, and macOS wants the Application to auto-launch. So change the file's path to the application's path, because the file's path is so deep.

@MonFig Thank you for your response.

I upgraded to version 5.0.3 and this issue was fixed without the workaround posted above. The main window of my application opens without any terminal windows. Login Items properly shows "Application" instead of "Unix Executable".
