How to run the build artifacts? about packer

[liudonghua123]

I have the same problems.

[liudonghua123]

Maybe it is related to nodegui/nodegui#907.

[liudonghua123]

I have found my problems. I installed anaconda which included qt already, but the version is 5.9.7.0, when I run npx nodegui-packer --pack ./dist, the actual command D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\node_modules\@nodegui\nodegui\miniqt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt.exe D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\dist\nodegui_core.node --verbose=2 --release --no-translations --compiler-runtime --dir=. will be executed which will use the qt bundled in anaconda instead of @nodegui\nodegui.

If I firstly executed set PATH=D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\node_modules\@nodegui\nodegui\miniqt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64\bin;%PATH% then ran npx nodegui-packer --pack ./dist, it will be ok.

The related code is in

packer/src/win32/index.ts

Lines 41 to 54 in 4402228

	const winDeployQt = spawn(
	winDeployQtBin,
	[
	...allAddons,
	"--verbose=2",
	"--release",
	"--no-translations",
	"--compiler-runtime",
	`--dir=${buildDir}`,
	],
	{
	cwd: buildDir,
	}
	);

See the following logs for more details.

D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\windeployqt>D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\node_modules\@nodegui\nodegui\miniqt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt.exe --help
Usage: D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\node_modules\@nodegui\nodegui\miniqt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt.exe [options] [files]
Qt Deploy Tool 5.14.1

The simplest way to use windeployqt is to add the bin directory of your Qt
installation (e.g. <QT_DIR\bin>) to the PATH variable and then run:
  windeployqt <path-to-app-binary>
If ICU, ANGLE, etc. are not in the bin directory, they need to be in the PATH
variable. If your application uses Qt Quick, run:
  windeployqt --qmldir <path-to-app-qml-files> <path-to-app-binary>

Options:
  -?, -h, --help            Displays help on commandline options.

  -v, --version             Displays version information.
  --dir <directory>         Use directory instead of binary directory.

I think I am having the same issue. I followed the commands in this repo and tried running build/app/qode.exe by doubling clicking it. However, there is nothing pop up on the screen. (I am using Windows 10, the apps did work during development)

[sunmasters]

I also had same problem. This is the main issue with nodegui. I can't run on my client machine. Can't we run without visual studio?

Hey, I had the same surprise when I setup a pipeline for the windows build. How are we supposed to use this? There is no info in the docs, and the docs doesn't mention that the windows build is going to be impossible to use.

[thantez]

I have found my problems. I installed anaconda which included qt already, but the version is 5.9.7.0, when I run npx nodegui-packer --pack ./dist, the actual command D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\node_modules\@nodegui\nodegui\miniqt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt.exe D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\dist\nodegui_core.node --verbose=2 --release --no-translations --compiler-runtime --dir=. will be executed which will use the qt bundled in anaconda instead of @nodegui\nodegui.

If I firstly executed set PATH=D:\code\node\nodegui-starter\node_modules\@nodegui\nodegui\miniqt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64\bin;%PATH% then ran npx nodegui-packer --pack ./dist, it will be ok.

The related code is in

packer/src/win32/index.ts

Lines 41 to 54 in 4402228

	const winDeployQt = spawn(
	winDeployQtBin,
	[
	...allAddons,
	"--verbose=2",
	"--release",
	"--no-translations",
	"--compiler-runtime",
	`--dir=${buildDir}`,
	],
	{
	cwd: buildDir,
	}
	);

See the following logs for more details.

This solution doesn't work on Linux, although the PATH was wrong in this Environment too. What should we do?
