Question: " before_runtime" and "after_runtime" #295

Closed eposscot closed 9 months ago

eposscot commented 1 year ago

In the documentation

Section scripts

It’s possible to insert scripts before and after the bundle and runtime steps. Those can be used to perform additional tweaks to the AppDir before proceeding with the tests.

The allowed keys are:

before_bundle
after_bundle
before_runtime
after_runtime

Is the before_runtime is a custom script that is actioned when the user runs the App Image and the script is executed just before the application and after_runtime is the script that is actioned after the main application has been executed?

Or, is this only related to generating the AppImage it self.

Apologies for asking, just the documentation is not very clear.

Thanks

John

In my experience those hooks are only executed during the appimage build. I think before_bundle was before apt-get install and before_runtime was before the libc stuff was added (or something like that). I was also looking to hook into when the user executes the application but figured I could accomplish this by just setting the start up application to a custom script.
