Potential Windows/Linux builds

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Hi there, this looks a great project. Seeing as it's electron based, is there a chance you'll release Linux and Windows builds?

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Ignore me I see it in the future plans

mb21 commented 6 years ago

I'll reopen this issue, I'm happy to track and discuss the Windows/Linux versions here.

Can you test on Linux? I actually would expect it to just work on Linux. I can put up a build if you can test it... or you can build it yourself:

Install yarn, then:

## Download source code
git clone git@github.com:mb21/panwriter.git
cd panwriter

## Install npm dependencies, PureScript compiler, etc
yarn install

## Build the PureScript project
yarn build

## To build distributable app package (goes to ./dist):
yarn dist

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Yes, I can test it on both Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora) and Windows 10/7.

I'll give it a shot building - might be at the weekend though.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Made a quick stab (I'm running Ubuntu 18.04). I get the following error, I'll do some investigating why I get it but recording it here:

Thanks! Ah yes, remove the -m in the package.json where you have "dist": "electron-builder -m".

I'll push a fix with that shortly.

Oh this looks like it might be more of the issue:

  • application Linux category is set to default "Utility" reason=linux.category is not set and cannot map from macOS docs=https://electron.build/configuration/configuration#LinuxBuildOptions-category

mb21 commented 6 years ago

Can you try replacing to the following?

  "build": {
    "appId": "com.panwriter.app",
    "fileAssociations": [
      {"ext": "md"},
      {"ext": "markdown"},
      {"ext": "txt"},
      {"ext": "html"},
      {"ext": "docx"},
      {"ext": "odt"},
      {"ext": "tex"}
    ]
  },

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

I'm giving that a try now - it failed with the basic array of fileAssociations, but I guessed the same as you've just put there with the array of objects from the errors you get.

That works!

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

This is what I have in the package.json:

  "build": {
    "appId": "com.panwriter.app",
    "fileAssociations": [
        { "ext": "md" }, 
        { "ext": "markdown" }, 
        { "ext": "txt" }, 
        { "ext": "html" }, 
        { "ext": "docx" }, 
        { "ext": "odt" }, 
        { "ext": "tex" }
    ],
    "mac": {
      "fileAssociations": [
        {
          "ext": [
            "md",
            "markdown",
            "txt",
            "html",
            "docx",
            "odt",
            "tex"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },

Generaes a runnable AppImage for me:

mb21 commented 6 years ago

Haha awesome! Looks like we don't need the "mac": {"fileAssociations"... builder works fine withe the array of objects on the mac as well.

And you can drag and drop txt and html files on the app icon as well?

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Gets installed into the app menu:

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Dragging onto the App Icon doesn't work - at least not in the menu.

screenshot from 2018-11-26 13-02-39

You can drag and drop onto the application itself:

screenshot from 2018-11-26 13-04-10

Also dragging on to the .AppImage file doesn't work either (but I don't think anyone would use that after it's been installed to the Applications menu): screenshot from 2018-11-26 13-08-38

mb21 commented 6 years ago

Okay, so since the dragging on the application window works, the fileAssociations seems to work on Linux and I'm guessing dragging on the app icon in the sidebar/dock is not something Ubuntu supports?

Also, there should be an app icon. I don't quite get the documentation, maybe add to package.json:

"files": ["build/icon.png"]

Edit: ah, or maybe we need to add icon to the BrowserWindow constructor in main.js... I'll take a look later..

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Tried various options, it seems like you do need the build.files config, but if I include that I just get errors:

I've tried adding a few extra options, in theory it's the Desktop config that needs setting, but none of them have changed the Application icon that I get. This is my current package.json, it fails on the files config with both "./build/icon.png" and "build/icon.png":

  "build": {
    "appId": "com.panwriter.app",
    "icon": "build/icon.png",
    "files": ["./build/icon.png"],
    "fileAssociations": [
        { "ext": "md" }, 
        { "ext": "markdown" }, 
        { "ext": "txt" }, 
        { "ext": "html" }, 
        { "ext": "docx" }, 
        { "ext": "odt" }, 
        { "ext": "tex" }
    ],
    "linux": {
      "icon": "build/icon.png",
      "desktop": {
        "Name": "PanWriter",
        "Icon": "build/icon.png",
        "Comment": "Markdown editor with pandoc integration and paginated preview",
        "Categories": "Utilities"
      },
      "category": "Utilities"
    }
  },

I've looked at the Linux Icons config and that suggests that the builder should just pick up the build/icon.png by default.

This was the most promising solution thing that I saw, which does also suggest the BrowserWindow setting, but also the files config.

But there's quite a few open issues for getting Linux icons to work: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+icon

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Stole the desktop icon config from here: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/3404

mb21 commented 6 years ago

You're saying you got the icon to work? Meanwhile, I pushed some changes...

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

No, just fumbling around :) Still trying to figure it out.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Plus I actually made things worse, the linux config results in a 'icon missing' icon in the applications menu and it doesn't allow me to properly add it to the favourite applications bar any more:

screenshot from 2018-11-26 15-23-33

I'm hunting around to see if I can find the desktop file that it creates but nothing so far.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

I figured out what was knackering the icon - it was because I set "category": "Utilities" in the build.linux part of package.json. If I switch it to "category": "Utility" (which is the default category I get in the warning message if I don't set it) then I get the same icon as initially - which is better than the broken icon from my previous comment.

I've managed to produce a .desktop file, but that still doesn't contain a proper icon, here's what I've got so far:

    "linux": {
      "desktop": {
        "Name": "PanWriter",
        "Icon": "build/icon.png",
        "Comment": "Markdown editor with pandoc integration and paginated preview"
      },
      "category": "Utility"
    }

This creates ~/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-panwriter.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=PanWriter
Comment=Markdown editor with pandoc integration and paginated preview
Exec="/home/channi16/panwriter/dist/panwriter-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage" %U

mb21 commented 6 years ago

That's progress! Yeah, the Icon=appimagekit-panwriter seems wrong, that should probably be a filename. Maybe try "Icon": "icon.png" ?

btw. so what is it building? .deb package, or?

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

It's building an AppImage file (panwriter-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage) which is a relatively new linux binary that includes all it's dependencies and should work on any modern linux system. You can specify to build a .deb, but AppImage is the default.

Unfortunately "Icon": "icon.png" makes no difference, produces the same desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=PanWriter
Comment=Markdown editor with pandoc integration and paginated preview
Exec="/home/channi16/panwriter/dist/panwriter-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage" %U
Terminal=false

X-AppImage-Comment=Generated by /tmp/.mount_panwribzDhzd/AppRun
TryExec=/home/channi16/panwriter/dist/panwriter-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage

I'm pretty sure that none of these app icons are cached in some way - which it could be (and would knacker all my attempts). But it doesn't seem like it.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

I found a helpful Arch Linux wiki on the Desktop entries, which has

The freedesktop.org standard specifies in which order and directories programs should look for icons:

$HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility)

$XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons

/usr/share/pixmaps

The desktop file contains:

Icon=appimagekit-panwriter

So I took a guess and created ~/.icons/appimagekit-panwriter.png and that works:

screenshot from 2018-11-27 11-18-31

But I don't know how you then get that into the build process.

mb21 commented 6 years ago

Hm... information online is really sparse and contradictory... I can think of trying a few things:

modifying the Icon in the .desktop file in the generated app image and see whether some values work..
rename the icon.png to e.g. appimagekit-panwriter ?
https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/2269#issuecomment-342168989

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

From this comment on electron-builder/#748:

We've been investigating this and we see that the icon is copied to: ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps.

I hunted around in the hicolor directory and found this:

screenshot from 2018-11-27 14-38-27

For some reason it creates a 0x0 icon instead of an e.g. 256x256 icon.

mb21 commented 6 years ago

ah, wow! maybe rename build/icon.png to build/icons/512.png? (from https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/2577)

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

That comment refers through to the original Icons documentation that I was looking at and I think that comment is slightly incorrect. From the doc

The filename must contain the size (e.g. 32x32.png) of the icon). Recommended sizes: 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256. (or just 512).

I think they took "or just 512" to mean 512.png when I think it actually means you want xxx512x512.png, I tested this and created

build/icons/panwriter-512x512.png which works!

Out of curiosity I also tested:

build/icons/512.png - this works too
build/icons/icon-512x512.png - this works too

These all created ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png.

(I made sure to delete the icons from the hicolor directory before I renamed the icon and re-ran yarn dist)

Then I tried the following:

build/icons/icon.png and this creates icons for all sizes!:

channi16@ICT0115123:~/.local/share/icons/hicolor$ fd panwriter
128x128/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
16x16/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
24x24/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
256x256/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
32x32/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
48x48/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
512x512/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
64x64/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png
96x96/apps/appimagekit-panwriter.png

N.B. I had also deleted the build/icon.png and removed any mention of the icon from package.json:

  "build": {
    "appId": "com.panwriter.app",
    "fileAssociations": [
        { "ext": "md" }, 
        { "ext": "markdown" }, 
        { "ext": "txt" }, 
        { "ext": "html" }, 
        { "ext": "docx" }, 
        { "ext": "odt" }, 
        { "ext": "tex" }
    ],
    "linux": {
      "desktop": {
        "Name": "PanWriter",
        "Comment": "Markdown editor with pandoc integration and paginated preview"
      },
      "category": "Utility"
    }

mb21 commented 6 years ago

Awesome! I just pushed a commit with your changes, thanks for your help!

I'll try to publish a Linux build soon...

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Good to hear :)

mb21 commented 6 years ago

btw. the app just might work on windows as well. I'm sure there is some more package.json magic for Windows, and you cannot create a ~/.panwriter/default.cssfile (I'll have to adapt that part of the code for windows), but other than that... it should work :-)

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

I'll see if I can have look at it this weekend.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

I've just tried building it on Windows and it fails at yarn install:

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Hmm, maybe not a simple fix. https://github.com/justinwoo/npm-psc-package-bin-simple has the following in its README:

A simple distribution of psc-package using NPM. Assumes almost nothing other than Linux/OSX.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Might be able to update the version of the library though as it looks like there was a recent commit that adds Windows support: https://github.com/justinwoo/npm-psc-package-bin-simple/commit/4d4efa6a4e2008c8a0a71f0b189c14c31b88e47b

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

So this problem appears to be that Windows can't find the purs.exe, supposedly there is a fix in v0.5.0, but chocolatey only has 0.4.2:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>choco list -lo psc-package
Chocolatey v0.10.11
psc-package 0.4.2
1 packages installed.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

I made a stab at just overriding the binaries that chocolatey uses with downloaded ones from the psc-package releases page. Rather wonderfully the fixes they've done for v5.0.0 fix the problem and it now builds:

yarn dist fails too. It was looking promising for a while but then got all panicky. Possibly because it can't find an icon??

Doing some searching for panic: runtime error: index out of range gives (https://stackoverflow.com/a/26126255/327074):

If the user does not provide any input, the inp array is empty. This means that even the index 0 is out of range, i.e. inp[0] can't be accessed.

So possibly it's because package.json is missing a specification for the Windows icon? But it seems kind of crazy that it would error out just because it can't find an icon.

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

I made another guess and added a build.win.icon config setting to package.json and amazingly that works.

  "build": {
    "appId": "com.panwriter.app",
    "fileAssociations": [
      {
        "ext": "md"
      },
      {
        "ext": "markdown"
      },
      {
        "ext": "txt"
      },
      {
        "ext": "html"
      },
      {
        "ext": "docx"
      },
      {
        "ext": "odt"
      },
      {
        "ext": "tex"
      }
    ],
    "mac": {
      "icon": "build/icons/icon.png"
    },
    "win": {
      "icon": "build/icons/icon.png"
    },
    "linux": {
      "desktop": {
        "Name": "PanWriter",
        "Comment": "Markdown editor with pandoc integration and paginated preview"
      },
      "category": "Utility"
    }
  },

Given that icon should be an optional config I'm a bit surprised. Anyway:

This builds the following files:

2018-12-03 01_03_44-dist

It adds Panwriter to the application menu when you search for it, with the relevant icons too (you can see the application menu icon and also the taskbar icon):

2018-12-03 01_01_51-dist

The downer is that the icon in the application itself is bizarrely cut off:

I'm guessing you'll want the contents of the dist folder. I've copied them into a dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/215jatb80n27uq7/AAAp5gL6JImHam4qITYb6KuFa?dl=0

mb21 commented 6 years ago

Wow, that's quite an odyssey!

About the icon: can you try adding:

"target": ["portable"]

to build.win?

ianchanning commented 6 years ago

Ok, I'll give it a try tonight.

Also I'm uploaded the Linux builds to dropbox to: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gaw96oik4ah6po8/AACD0tZP1_BfD2yqp_xs-_vxa?dl=0
