|
+# 🔧 Desktop Build Workflow Fix
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## ❌ **Problem:** electron-builder Publishing Failed
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+All three OS builds were failing because electron-builder couldn't find or access the GitHub releases:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+⨯ 404 Not Found
|
|
|
+"method: GET url: https://api.github.com/repos/lhamacorp/knotes/releases"
|
|
|
+"x-accepted-github-permissions": "contents=read"
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## 🔍 **Root Cause:**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. **Repository Mismatch**: Package.json had `"owner": "lhamacorp", "repo": "knotes"` which may not match the actual repository
|
|
|
+2. **Permission Issues**: electron-builder's built-in publishing mechanism had token access problems
|
|
|
+3. **Complex Publishing**: electron-builder's GitHub publishing feature is complex and error-prone in CI environments
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## ✅ **Solution Applied:**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### 1. **Removed electron-builder Publishing**
|
|
|
+**Before** (problematic):
|
|
|
+```json
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "publish": {
|
|
|
+ "provider": "github",
|
|
|
+ "owner": "lhamacorp",
|
|
|
+ "repo": "knotes"
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**After** (clean):
|
|
|
+```json
|
|
|
+// Removed publish configuration entirely
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### 2. **Separated Build and Upload Steps**
|
|
|
+**Before** (combined):
|
|
|
+```yaml
|
|
|
+- name: Build and publish Linux
|
|
|
+ run: npm run publish-linux # ❌ Fails with 404
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**After** (separated):
|
|
|
+```yaml
|
|
|
+- name: Build Linux Desktop App
|
|
|
+ run: npm run build-linux # ✅ Build only
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- name: Upload Linux Build to Release
|
|
|
+ run: gh release upload "$TAG" dist/kNotes-*.AppImage # ✅ Upload separately
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### 3. **Added --publish=never Flag**
|
|
|
+Updated all build scripts to prevent accidental publishing:
|
|
|
+```json
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "build-linux": "electron-builder --linux --publish=never",
|
|
|
+ "build-win": "electron-builder --win --publish=never",
|
|
|
+ "build-mac": "electron-builder --mac --publish=never"
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### 4. **Added Debug Output**
|
|
|
+Each platform now has debug steps to show what files were built:
|
|
|
+```yaml
|
|
|
+- name: Debug Build Output
|
|
|
+ run: |
|
|
|
+ echo "=== Build Output ==="
|
|
|
+ ls -la dist/ || echo "No dist directory"
|
|
|
+ echo "=== End Build Output ==="
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### 5. **Smart Upload Logic**
|
|
|
+Only uploads files that actually exist:
|
|
|
+```yaml
|
|
|
+if ls dist/kNotes-*.AppImage 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
|
|
|
+ echo "Found AppImage files:"
|
|
|
+ gh release upload "$TAG" dist/kNotes-*.AppImage --clobber
|
|
|
+else
|
|
|
+ echo "No AppImage files found"
|
|
|
+fi
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## 🎯 **New Workflow Process:**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```mermaid
|
|
|
+graph TD
|
|
|
+ A[Java Build ✅] --> B[Docker Deploy ✅]
|
|
|
+ B --> C[Create GitHub Release ✅]
|
|
|
+ C --> D[Build Linux Desktop]
|
|
|
+ C --> E[Build Windows Desktop]
|
|
|
+ C --> F[Build macOS Desktop]
|
|
|
+ D --> G[Upload Linux Files]
|
|
|
+ E --> H[Upload Windows Files]
|
|
|
+ F --> I[Upload macOS Files]
|
|
|
+ G --> J[Complete ✅]
|
|
|
+ H --> J
|
|
|
+ I --> J
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## 🧪 **Expected Results:**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Desktop Builds Should Now:
|
|
|
+1. ✅ **Build successfully** without publishing errors
|
|
|
+2. ✅ **Generate files**: `.AppImage`, `.exe`, `.dmg`
|
|
|
+3. ✅ **Upload to release** using GitHub CLI
|
|
|
+4. ✅ **Show debug output** to help troubleshoot
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Debug Output Will Show:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+=== Build Output ===
|
|
|
+-rw-r--r-- 1 runner docker 104410723 Jan 16 20:03 kNotes-1.1.0.AppImage
|
|
|
+-rw-r--r-- 1 runner docker 364 Jan 16 20:03 latest-linux.yml
|
|
|
+=== End Build Output ===

|
|
+-rw-r--r-- 1 runner docker 104410723 Jan 16 20:03 dist/kNotes-1.1.0.AppImage
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## 🚀 **Benefits:**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- ✅ **More Reliable**: No dependency on electron-builder's publishing
|
|
|
+- ✅ **Better Debugging**: Clear output showing what's built
|
|
|
+- ✅ **Flexible**: Easy to modify upload logic
|
|
|
+- ✅ **Repository Agnostic**: Works regardless of repo name/owner
|
|
|
+- ✅ **Simpler**: Separates concerns (build vs upload)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## 📊 **Test Results:**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Next workflow run should show:
|
|
|
+- ✅ Linux build completes and uploads `.AppImage`
|
|
|
+- ✅ Windows build completes and uploads `.exe`
|
|
|
+- ✅ macOS build completes and uploads `.dmg`
|
|
|
+- ✅ All files appear in the GitHub release
|
