Invalid Electron cache path

The default Electron/Astilectron installation path is located inside:

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\%AppName%\vendor

However, the Electron Cache is located inside:

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Electron

The Electron Cache should be located inside:

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\%AppName%

This issue causes conflicts with other Electron applications that use the same cache path by default.
Reproduction can be caused using go-asilectron with the default parameters and a valid AppName.

To be honest, I didn't event know Electron had a cache folder... 😄

How did you find out the Electron Cache was located in C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Electron?

I sorted by date modified in the Roaming folder. Then used Window.Session.ClearCache(), which resulted in that folder having some contents cleared from the Cache folder.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to set this cache folder in Electron's doc... can you?

app.setPath

Should be what we need, perhaps using the DataDirectoryPath or BaseDirectoryPath should suffice.

By default, cookies and caches will be stored under the userData directory. You have to override the userData path before the ready event of the app module is emitted.

const { app } = require ('electron');
app.setPath('userData', "path/to/new/directory");
