I've created my private network run my Geth Node as:

geth --datadir /mychaindata --rpc --rpccorsdomain "*" --nodiscover

I can successfully attach it and create account when I run:

geth attach ipc:/mychaindata/geth.ipc

I've written a smart contract and I want to deploy it via Mist. I've downloaded Mist source code and switched to master branch, and compiled the source code. When I run this:

yarn dev:electron --rpc /mychaindata/geth.ipc

It successfully starts with an error at command line:

yarn run v1.3.2
$ electron -r babel-register main.js --rpc /mychaindata/geth.ipc
