What I want to do
I have a python script named turnin.py and a requirements.txt file which you can find on GitHub
What I want is that I want to create multiple packages(like .deb, .rpm and .AppImage) through workflows.
The problem that I have
I created a GitHub workflow to create an AppImage file and upload it as an artifact.
name: Create AppImage
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
build-and-package:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Python
uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: 3.8
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
- name: Install FUSE
run: |
sudo apt-get install -y fuse
- name: Prepare AppDir
run: |
mkdir -p AppDir
cp -r venv AppDir/
cp turnin.py AppDir/venv/bin
chmod +x AppDir/venv/bin/turnin.py
echo "[Desktop Entry]" >> AppDir/turnin.desktop
echo "Name=TurnIn" >> AppDir/turnin.desktop
echo "Exec=AppRun" >> AppDir/turnin.desktop
echo "Icon=/venv/bin/turnin" >> AppDir/turnin.desktop
echo "Type=Application" >> AppDir/turnin.desktop
echo "Categories=Utility;" >> AppDir/turnin.desktop
cp cse.logo.png AppDir/venv/bin/turnin.png
# Add the shebang line to AppRun
echo "#!/bin/bash" >> AppDir/AppRun
echo 'APPDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")' >> AppDir/AppRun
echo 'PYTHON="$APPDIR/venv/bin/python"' >> AppDir/AppRun
echo '$PYTHON "$APPDIR/venv/bin/turnin.py"' >> AppDir/AppRun
chmod +x AppDir/AppRun
- name: Download and install linuxdeploy
run: |
wget -c https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
sudo mv linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage /usr/local/bin/linuxdeploy
- name: Create AppImage
run: |
ARCH=x86_64 linuxdeploy --appdir AppDir --output appimage
chmod +x ./*.AppImage
- name: Upload AppImage artifact
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
with:
name: turnin-appimage.AppImage
path: ./*.AppImage
This code succesfully produces the appImage but I cannot run it because I get the result:
/tmp/.mount_TurnIn9yIsSZ/AppRun: line 4: /tmp/.mount_TurnIn9yIsSZ/venv/bin/python: No such file or directory
If I extract the app image file I find that the file venv/bin/python exists
lrwxrwxrwx 1 porfanid porfanid 49 Αυγ 21 21:02 python -> /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.8.17/x64/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 porfanid porfanid 6 Αυγ 21 21:02 python3 -> python
So I cannot really find out what the problem is.
Where you can find the files
The AppImage file is uploaded here
