Electron Forge version

7.4.0

Electron version

v30.0.1

Operating system

macOS 14.4.1 (darwin/arm64)

Last known working Electron Forge version

No response

Expected behavior

No deprecation warning when running package or make scripts.

Actual behavior

Multiple (node:17870) [DEP0174] DeprecationWarning: Calling promisify on a function that returns a Promise is likely a mistake. warnings in console.

For macOS universal builds, I have to use a packageAfterExtract hook to delete a file in macOS application package. For macOS/Windows builds, I am also having to run a postPackage hook modify the package slightly to add a file and for code signing / notarization. With or without these hooks added, I keep getting those warnings multiple times while running package or make scripts, even on a clean npm create electron-app output. I added NODE_OPTIONS=--trace-deprecation to get more information regarding this and all of it seems to be caused by promisifyHooks.

Console output with warnings

Additional information

I am using the following forge configuration currently when I get these deprecation warnings.

Thanks for reporting this @eXhumer! Looks like this is longstanding behaviour in Packager (the promisifyHooks function was originally added in electron/packager#753) and Forge, but DEP0174 was recently added as a runtime deprecation in Node.js as of v21: https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/ccca547e286443dc82a36d7cd839294d317486e2

Going to move this issue over to the Packager repo (thanks for isolating the root cause) as well.

I get the same problem, Any one Can fix it? But, it seem no effect to main process.

@LY1806620741 I don't think this has an impact on Packager's runtime. If you're running Node.js v21 or higher, they just added a new flag to silence specific warnings.

[erickzhao]

Sorry for waffling about by transferring this issue across repos over and over again.

I took a closer look at what needs to be done to fix this (because Node 22 LTS crept up on me and this is happening everywhere).

At a base level, we technically accept async/Promise-based functions in the Packager code already. However, this causes problems with DEP0174 because we blindly apply util.promisify everywhere.

We're at a point in time where people probably want to write async code via Promises, so there isn't really a point in keeping callback compatibility for the future.

Since we're preparing a new major version of Forge as part of our initiative to move ecosystem packages to Node 22, this is probably the best approach for the long term:

1. Breaking change in Packager to only accept Promise-based hook functions.
2. Upgrade Packager within Forge and make that a breaking change for Forge 8.

In the short-term, I'm not sure if the effort is worth it to refactor a bunch of our code to use antiquated callback-based asynchronous control flow, so this issue might live here until the next major release.

I really wish it to be fixed. Such warnings should not bother a developer. Such warning create the impression of Electron Forge as a low-quality software.

Hi @erickzhao, is there a roadmap or indication on when we can expect this to be fixed?
