Describe the bug At launch a pop up asked me if I wanted to auto-update the app and clicked yes, then it immediately failed, the progress bar on the message box is on an infinite loop saying :

Downloading draw.io update... Error occurred while fetching updates. ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/opt/drawio/resources/app-update.yml'

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Help' menu and click on 'Check for updates'. 1bis. Or alternatively I can relaunch the app and the automatic check for updates launch the auto-update popup messagebox.
2. Click on 'Yes' when the message box says that a new version is available and asks "would you like to download and install new version?"
3. See error

Expected behavior Auto-update and install process of new version effectively works.

Screenshots

draw.io version (In the Help->About menu of the draw.io editor):

• draw.io version 16.5.1 installed from the deb package

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS 64 bits

Additional context My /opt/drawio/resources only contains one file : /opt/drawio/resources/app.asar

Here is the log I get when I launch the app from the console:

...and the drawio --trace-warnings console flag does the exact same log.

I also tried to launch it with sudo with no result :

Same here with draw.io 17.2.4 with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Still happening with latest?

Still happening with latest?

I just tried again with my same 16.5.1 version and it is still the same error message. I also tried lauching drawio with SUDO and here is the answer: [0609/105740.329164:FATAL:electron_main_delegate.cc(290)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

I don't want you to try with 16.5.1, I want you to try the latest version...

[Robou]

I installed the v19.0.2 .deb version over my 16.5.1. Not exactly the same behavior : when I click on Check for Updates, nothing happens. Console doesn't prompt anything except APPIMAGE env is not defined, current application is not an AppImage.

I uninstalled and installed again the 19.0.2.deb and nothing more happened.

But I tried with the 19.0.2.AppImage and it is working correctly : at first launch it automatically prompted the "new version available" popup, and the autoupdate to 19.0.3 worked correctly.

[davidjgraph]

OK, thanks for the update. .deb didn't work, appimage does.
