Atom does not build (error raised in src/atom-1.61.0-beta0/script/lib/dump-symbols.js:33)

Hello all,

trying to build Atom, I get

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

 -> error making: atom

This is due to the following code around line 33 of src/atom-1.61.0-beta0/script/lib/dump-symbols.js:

      if (error) {
        // fswin.node is only used on windows, ignore the error on other platforms
        if (process.platform !== 'win32' && binaryPath.match(/fswin.node/))
          return resolve();
       throw new Error(error);

Try this one https://github.com/atom-community/atom/ Since atom is now abandoned and the project is concluded.

With that package, I get exactly the same error:

/opt/.cache/yay/atom/src/atom-1.61.0-beta0/script/lib/dump-symbols.js:33
        throw new Error(error);
        ^

make an issue or pr there, you will get no support here.

      if (error) {
        // fswin.node is only used on windows, ignore the error on other platforms
        if (process.platform !== 'win32' && binaryPath.match(/fswin.node/))
          return resolve();
        throw new Error(error);

I'm building on Linux for Linux and getting the same error. Given I'm building through AUR, the build path is:

/var/tmp/pamac-build-tim/atom/src/atom-1.61.0-beta0/script/lib/dump-symbols.js

It sounds to me like those two checks should be joined with ||, not &&.

Please Note, the beta 1.61 is not a stable release yet, Its a testing release and more work is being put into it Use 1.60 instead By the end of the year or so, github (microsoft) want to archive atom but we have a wonder continuation going on here for really indicate the team working hard to do the best they can while being careful not to break anything yet
