semantic-release deploy electron-builder to Github Release

Question

The semantic-release and electron-builder are both publishing a Github Release.

I want to combine them, so semantic-release will be responsible for the release version and CHANGELOG, but the electron-builder will be responsible for the publishing artifacts.

• semantic-release -> electron-builder

  If you run semantic-release first, it will release a new release in Github.

  After that, using the version from semantic-release and running electron-builder, it will create a draft release with the same tag as the released release from semantic-release.

• [semantic-release dry-run] -> electron-builder -> semantic-release

  You can run semantic-release in a dry run to get the expected version, then run electron-builder to create a draft release.

  Then, you expect semantic-release to update the draft release and release it, but it didn't happen, and semantic-release release other new release.

• semantic-release -> electron-builder releaseType=release

  The third option is to run semantic-release and let it create a release.

  Then, you run electron-builder with releaseType=release, to release instead of draft.

  In this way, the new release is created (by semantic-release) and the artifact deployed to the same release (by electron-builder).

  The only problem is that the release is first created, and then the artifacts are added. This might be a problem when using AutoUpdate.
