Building takes forever

[Bader-Idris]

When I build my electron app derived from nuxt ssr false mode, using your tool in my open source project: here, it takes forever to finish building the app. Would it be better to use something fast like vite does with its rollup and rolldown bundlers??

Can you clarify? Is it electron-builder that is taking long or another part of the build process?

It's certainly possible that the node module collection is taking a long time (currently working on improving this), but if youdo use rollup or another bundler that bundles node_modules directly into your app artifact and then exclude node_modules (in electron-builder config) from being directly parsed/copied into your project, then that should dramatically improve build time.

Yeah, I'm sure it's electron builder, could it be due to some distributes?
Please check the path to the config file in package.json command build:electron

+1
it's extremely slow right now... 15+ minutes for the task that took 1 minute 30 sec
I upgraded from 22.14.13...

Going to try and investigate this as part of #9309
