Electron-builder release tries to publish to Github and complains about GH_Token

running the release script without publish option tries to publish the build to GitHub ( and fails while complaining about not being able to find GHToken! )

Error: GitHub Personal Access Token is not set, neither programmatically, nor using env "GH_TOKEN"

Setting "publish": "never" will fail also complaining about not being able to find module electron-publisher-never!

Error: Cannot find module 'electron-publisher-never'

It all happens while the project is built but build scripts exits non-zero!

I'm using the latest version of electron-builder. my build script:

 "build": {
"appId": "eu.armand.[****]",
"copyright": "Copyright © 2017 mim_Armand",
"productName": "[****]",
"mac": {
  "publish": "never",
  "category": "public.app-category.[****]",
  "icon": "assets/icons/mac/icon.icns"
}

Any idea what's going on or if I'm doing it wrong?!

I solved it this way, because I didn't need to put it in any repository

"build":{
    "appId": "XXX",
    "productName": "XXX",
    "directories":{
      "output": "build"
    },
    "win":{
     "target": "nsis",
     "publish" : []
    }
}

rename your script to something else.
if the script name is release → publish is set to always

the documentation states this:

CLI --publish option values:
...
If npm script named release, — always.
Add to scripts in the development package.json:
"release": "build"
and if you run yarn release, a release will be drafted (if doesn’t already exist) and artifacts published.

try building with 

"build": "electron-builder --publish never"

to never publish.
