sindresorhus / create-dmg

The following error message is quite minimalistic :P

✖

In my case it was missing imagemagick:

brew install graphicsmagick imagemagick

A better error message would have helped to fix this though.

imagemagick is optional and we already have a check for it:

create-dmg/compose-icon.js

Lines 38 to 49 in 4f80ea2

    
           const hasGm = async () => { 
        
           	try { 
        
           		await execa('gm', ['-version']); 
        
           		return true; 
        
           	} catch (error) { 
        
           		if (error.code === 'ENOENT') { 
        
           			return false; 
        
           		} 
        
           		throw error; 
        
           	} 
        
           };

Can you replace

create-dmg/cli.js

Line 169 in 4f80ea2

process.exit(1);

with throw error; and share the stack trace?

	const hasGm = async () => {
	try {
	await execa('gm', ['-version']);
	return true;
	} catch (error) {
	if (error.code === 'ENOENT') {
	return false;
	}

	throw error;
	}
	};

More verbose errors would be useful
