Hi, I updated to packr2 today after v2.0.0 release.

When I do packr2 install.. the generated binary works my machine. But it is not working on other machines. It says stat /Users/harsha/Downloads/packr2test_0.0.1_darwin_amd64/templates/admin/index.html: no such file or directory

Sample usage taken from packr2 READme.

Any news about this? I have the same problem

I was taking a look in this problem and I discovered that the problem is related to how packr2 is doing their magic. To work properly, you should compile your code using packr2 install, that generate a temp code with the static content converted to hexadecimal and then run go install to build the app. When using go install (or, in this case, goreleaser) it will compile your code without doing this conversion.

@h7kanna just for testing purposes, if you remove the line with @packr2 clean from you Makefile and change the command gorelease --skip-validate --rm-dist it will work properly.

@markbates do you have any idea how we can solve this problem?

I just ran into this issue myself and can't figure out how to work around this..
