Explicitly call the provisoner

Is there anyway to explicitly call the provisoner or some way to monitor the progress of the download to avoid appearing like the application is doing nothing for a while? This problem is only really noticeable when the user has slow internet speeds.

@true-zero I see 2 options :

  • implement your own Provisioner that would monitor download progress and use SetProvisioner
  • use the bundler with the bootstrap since they embed the resources in the binary directly, therefore once the user has the binary, he/she doesn't an internet connexion to run it

go-astilectron-bundler seems to download from GitHub rather than use my local version, is there anyway I can override this behaviour?

go-astilectron-bundler downloads resources and stores them in a cache folder so that it doesn't download them on the next bundles. Therefore it should only happen once. Are you experiencing something else ? If so, could you paste bundler logs ?
