MSVC build started failing yesterday #103

MSVC install started failing yesterday - macx/linux/mingw still seems to work.. any idea? has there been any changes?

leuat commented 3 years ago

since this seems to happen quite often recently, is there a way to specify install the latest package? or else I'll constantly have to follow up with investigating why github action builds suddenly fail because there has been a bump from some qt package from 4.15.1 to 4.15.2 etc..

script: https://github.com/leuat/TRSE/blob/master/.github/workflows/win32-msvc.yml

again, this script has worked flawlessly until yesterday. If I change the version of qt creator to 5.0.0, it gets installed - but now jom.exe etc can't be found

any hints would be helpful - as I have several users who are waiting for some new features!

Hi.

... is there a way to specify install the latest package?

This function has been implemented in miurahr/aqtinstall#299 and it will be in the version of 2.0.0. This action (install-qt-action) is a CI wrapper of aqtinstall, so jurplel and us couldn't do anything but wait until the new version is released.

For now, you'd have to modify the version string yourself.

Speaking of Jom. I have no idea why it is not embedded in Qt Creator 5, but I think you can install it by two ways:

Use Chocolatey. There is an outdated Jom package.
Download and configure it manually.
1. Find the address on https://download.qt.io/official_releases/jom/ and download it with a downloader action such as carlosperate/download-file-action.
2. Unzip it with 7zip or the Expand-Archive cmdlet in PowerShell Core (the default shell on the Windows runner).

And, don't forget NMAKE.

fixed!

luckily we don't need to download jom manually, as the file was simply moved from bin/jom.exe to bin/jom/jom.exe in qt creator 5.0.0. Nice to know for future users! Sorry for all the nagging. I really appreciate install-qt-action, and cannot live without my nightly automatic builds.

pzhlkj6612 commented 3 years ago

is there no way to go back and add support for 4.15 again?

No, there isn't.

It's not about install-qt-action or aqtinstall, but Qt itself. For some components, such as Qt Creator and Qt Installer Framework (IFW), Qt guys will remove the old binary package from their website when a new version is released.

and, will the same issue occur soon with macos/linux/mingw as well?

I don't know, but I think it depends on what component you use. And as I said in the previous reply, after the release of aqtinstall 2.0.0, this symptom should be relieved.

luckily we don't need to download jom manually, as the file was simply moved from bin/jom.exe to bin/jom/jom.exe in qt creator 5.0.0.

Good to know this, thank you!

Thanks for the help @pzhlkj6612

There is a feature request for downloading the old version of Qt Creator: https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall/issues/383 .
