Hi all I've stumbled into a rather interesting unhandled JavaScript exception that is thrown when calling this function of Electron-Updater:
https://github.com/electron-userland/el ... ter.ts#L78
The resulting error is this:Where things start to get really interesting is that this error only happens on RPi 4 hardware. The error does not exist when running the same kernel, os image, filesystem, and code on an RPi 5 device. I have tested this by imaging a single SD Card and then swapping between RPi 4 and 5 versions of the board. On both RPi 4 and RPi 4 CM the error is present. On RPi 5 boards the error is not present. Given that the SD card is not changed between boards it leads me to think that there may be a problem with how the RPi 4 hardware is handling this code.
I would love the community's thoughts into how I can confirm or dig further into what might be happening here.
Cheers!

The resulting error is this:
