Research direction
No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the drag-and-drop install with the linked JUCE plugin artifact on the reported macOS setup, then inspect the node-appdmg configuration and generated DMG behavior; done means files copy into the destination folders and a regression check covers the failure.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
So I've got an audio plugin that is using node-appdmg to create a mac installer. But when dragging the files over into the destination folders, the files do not actually get copied and no warning is given. Any insight into what might be causing this or ideas on how to debug this would be helpful.
