packaging / making with electron forge increase package size #655
Description
- I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
- I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project follows, as appropriate.
- I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want to file, without success.
I have migrated to electron-forge this week after using electron-packager & electron-winstaller for quite a long time. I have use electron-forge import and set all the packaging / installer settings as they was before the change. after that I have packages and created an installer of my application, the package size increased from 394MB to 588MB and the executable size increased from 120MB to 175MB.
Is it possible that the node_modules size increased that much? or is it an internal bug?
- I have made sure that the output directory is out/ ant that is not included in the new package.
