halo @sindresorhus do you think you can add support to Linux, specially Ubuntu?

Thank you.

Deprecation warning when installing app-path in a clean project

After installing app-path in a clean project, I get the following deprecation warning:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: cross-spawn no longer requires a build toolchain, use it instead

This warning comes from the execa dependency, which is still at v0.4.0.
Can this one be updated to v1.0.0, since that's released 3 months ago. 🙂

Thanks for all your great work @sindresorhus! 🙂

CHANGELOG missing

I just saw the package is updated from v2.2.0 to v3.0.0 which implies breaking changes, but I can't find any CHANGELOG to check them all out.

Would you be so kind to provide us with a decent CHANGELOG please? 🙂

Thanks for all your great work @sindresorhus! 🙂

Cross platform?

Any plans to make this to work cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Linux)?

ENOTDIR error

in electron v6.0.11 I am getting this error message only in the built version of the app.

Error: spawn ENOTDIR

}

using like so :

const createAppPath = async app => {
  try {
    const name = app.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + app.slice(1);
    const path = await appPath(name);

    return {
      name,
      path,
    };
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('create app path error', e);
    return null;
  }
};
