Bubbles fails to run as a standalone packaged macOS or Windows application

[colinbdclark]

I get the following log output when I try to run Bubbles as a standalone macOS application. It looks to me like it's an issue with an asymmetry in package structure when running from source vs. as a packaged application.

When run as an application, Electron moves the source code directory into an appropriate spot within the macOS app bundle—in this case, Bubbles.app/Contents/Resources/app. While node is able to resolve modules relative to this, it seems that Infusion or Kettle is unable to handle this. Somehow I'll need to parameterize the paths appropriately; infusion-electron provides electron.getAppRootPath() and electron.getAppRootURL() for this purpose.

The same issue occurs on Windows; Electron moves the source code into a resources/app directory that lives alongside the Bubbles exe file, and thus the config is unable to be loaded
