Mac build failing on ubuntu-latest

[sinnom]

My action builds the linux and windows files just fine, but the MacOS zip file produced is always empty. I am getting the following error during the export game step:

Below is my github action workflow yaml:

I don't think the cursor shape or blend file import warnings are relevant to the failed build, as I get those for the linux and windows builds which succeed both on my macbook and in the github action.

I don't think the notarization and code signing warnings are relevant to the failed build, as I get those when I build locally on my macbook too.

My MacOS export profile is the default one with the following changes:

• name: mac
• export path: builds/stream-captions.zip
• bundle identifier: com.sinnom.stream-captions

This error seems to indicate a problem with your export configuration. Please see if you can export for mac from your machine. If that doesn't work, then it is a configuration issue as indicated.

Based on the information provided, I do not think this issue is caused by this action. Please let me know if you think otherwise.

[sinnom]

Sorry, I could have been clearer. The export does work fine on my macbook. I think its possible Godot 4 has an issue exporting to mac from linux, however I wasn't having much luck finding anything about that, and I don't have a linux computer to test it on outside of the github action, so I came here next.

[firebelley]

This appears to be a configuration error related to Godot, and not specifically caused by this action.

I am also unable to find any good information about exporting from Linux to Mac. One suggestion I have for you is to run this action in a MacOS runner instead. It will cost you more Github Actions minutes, but it will be built in an environment that's known to work in your case. To do so, you can replace ubuntu-latest in your workflow with macos-latest.

I'd suggest giving that a try. Please feel free to reopen if you're still experiencing issues. Also note that if you're installing Wine in your workflow for the purposes of updating the windows icon, you will need to update your workflow to install Wine in a manner appropriate for Mac.

I hope that helps!

Thanks for your time and suggestions!

Have just tried changing runs-on to macos-latest and set it to use the macos godot download. Received an error saying

  Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, scandir '/Users/runner/.local/share/godot/godot_executable/Godot.app/Contents/CodeResources'

Should I create a new issue for this, or is it fine to continue in this thread?

Thanks for giving that a try, unfortunately it looks like this action is not quite supportive of building on a mac runner. I found this documentation which indicates that the executable path needs to be slightly changed on mac runners. I will address that.

In the meantime, I was able to verify on my end that exporting to Mac from Linux works using this action. The way I got it to work was to modify the export configuration and set "Codesign" to "Built-in" and turn "Notarization" to "disabled". I also needed to supply a "Bundle Identifier". Can you confirm that yours is configured this way?

[firebelley]

Also if you want, you can try running your action with macos-latest and using firebelley/godot-export@develop. On that develop branch I have mac runner support working. I do still think your original error indicates an issue with the export configuration but you are welcome to try out the develop branch to see if that gets everything building correctly!

These changes got it working on ubuntu-latest! Thank you for all your help!

You're welcome!

For others encountering this issue-- It seems some macOS build config options were changed slightly between Godot 3.5 and 4.1. Make sure you're using a build config generated with v4.

In particular, the notarization/enable and codesign/enable options from earlier Godot versions appear to be deprecated and replaced with notarization/notarization and codesign/codesign.
