Building flatpak target fails #500

Closed cpba closed 6 years ago

cpba commented 6 years ago

Trying to create a flatpak bundle from an electron-forge application fails with an error. Both flatpak and flatpak-builder are natively installed in the system as requested by the dependencies.

*Console output when you run electron-forge with the environment variable `DEBUG=electron-forge:`. (Instructions on how to do so here). Please include the stack trace if one exists.**

Please provide either a failing minimal testcase (with a link to the code) or detailed steps to reproduce your problem. Using electron-forge init is a good starting point, if that is not the source of your problem.

Here's a repo with my failing test case: https://github.com/cpba/ef-build

Steps I've followed in order to arrive here:

  1. I'm trying to build this sample application: https://github.com/flathub/electron-sample-app

  2. create new electron-forge project called ef-build using: electron-forge init ef-build

  3. copy project tarball into created ef-build/src folder.

  4. edit package.json to point to src/main.js rather than src/index.js.

  5. check that the application runs: electron-forge start

  6. add "flatpak" to make targets in package.json

  7. attempt make with: electron-forge make

malept commented 6 years ago

One comment about the sample app in flathub: it should put electron in devDependencies, not dependencies.

Anyway, back to the bug: I'm confused as to why you're copying that project into an Electron Forge project. That would be the equivalent of nesting two Node projects inside each other and expecting it to run without modifications.

malept commented 6 years ago

A newly created Electron Forge project should "just work" if all you do is add flatpak to the make targets.

For completeness, could you run DEBUG=electron-forge:*,electron-installer-flatpak,flatpak-bundler electron-forge make and post the output?

cpba commented 6 years ago

@malept Thank you for pointing out the dependency issue with the sample app, I don't have much experience with electron development and often these details evade me.

In order to eliminate the possibility of the sample app being the cause, I've redone the test with these steps:

  1. create new electron-forge project: electron-forge init prova-ef
  2. change deb and rpm to flatpak in build targets.
  3. attempt to build: DEBUG=electron-forge:*,electron-installer-flatpak,flatpak-bundler electron-forge make

The result is the following:

$ DEBUG=electron-forge:*,electron-installer-flatpak,flatpak-bundler electron-forge make

What version of Electron Forge is this? This seems like a bug that was fixed by https://github.com/endlessm/electron-installer-flatpak/pull/16

It's 5.2.0.

Should I use another version?

This seems like a bug with either electron-installer-flatpak or flatpak-bundler. According to the PR I linked to (which is included with the version of Forge you're running), it should automatically download/install the freedesktop SDK for you.

If I'm reading their README correctly, the workaround it to manually install the SDK:

flatpak --user install gnome org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/1.4

Thank you for your help, that fixes the issue for both the trivial test case and the original sample app case.

I had mistakenly installed 1.6, as it was the oldest version available on flathub.
