Building on macOS 10.15 fails. Can't locate Mac/Memory.pm #3990

alchaplinsky · 2019-06-21T20:34:49Z

Which version of electron-builder are you using?

20.44.4:

What target are you building for?

Mac(dmg):

I'm on MacOs 10.15 (beta2). While trying to build dmg I get following exception:

Error: Exit code: 2. Command failed: /usr/bin/perl /private/var/folders/9c/tprqfcrs66qff3x86tdp3_xw0000gn/T/t-yGVUjs/1-dmgProperties.pl

Possible issue with Perl on new Mac OS?

I am on macOS beta 2 as well having the same issue here... using electron-builder@20.44.4 / electron@4.2.5

rickythink · 2019-07-01T09:19:58Z

same issue

internetztube · 2019-07-01T12:05:16Z

same here

develar · 2019-07-01T12:40:39Z

Guys, today I am going to setup my Raspberry PI and make snap for ARM working. Then, later this week, I will take a look on this issue. Sorry for delay, if it is important for you, you can send PR or donation.

UdaraJay · 2019-07-01T23:13:28Z

Same issue; pretty sure it's related to Catalina not shipping with Perl installed.

I tried installing it myself, but Mac::Carbon and Mac::Memory don't install on 64bit Perl. Went as far as trying to rebuild Perl for 32bit, but looks liked xCode deprecated building for 32bit altogether.

dotconnor · 2019-07-02T05:51:57Z

Not only xcode but look like the entire operating system doesn't allow 32bit programs. Running wine to build for win32 or just using wine by itself doesn't work:

file /usr/local/bin/wine
/usr/local/bin/wine: Mach-O executable i386

wine -v
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: wine

alchaplinsky · 2019-07-02T09:23:57Z

@dotconnor Yup, you're right macOS Catalina does not Support 32-bit Apps.

UdaraJay · 2019-07-02T18:25:25Z

Also, for anyone that stumbles into this; this is only a problem when trying to package you app into a dmg. It works fine if you make a pkg instead (more recommended to distribute apps as packages anyways).

*May be different if you're distributing into the mac app store.

develar · 2019-07-02T18:33:13Z

Yes, it is only for DMG, because no official tool and open API to perform customization of DMG. electron-builder uses 3rd-party solution, that written in Perl. Should be ported to Go language (from this perl code or from python).

danielhuoo · 2019-07-16T17:07:10Z

@UdaraJay Thanks a lot.
And to whom don't know how to build pkg instead of dmg, you could edit the package.json:

"build":{
      "mac": {
          "icon": "build/icons/icon.icns",
          "target":"pkg"
       }
}

develar · 2019-07-18T19:48:24Z

All existing solutions, including appdmg, are bad and cannot help to create correctly positioned DMG Windows. Problem — window position is computed from bottom, and not from top. So, as you don't know user display screen height, you cannot correctly set window bounds.

If you will set only size, then Finder will ignore size, and your background image will look ugly.
Apple keep silent and don't provide not only tool to customize DMG, but even docs about DSStore format.

Irony that used by electron-builder solution in Perl is able to set windows position from top because uses deprecated format. And now Apple killed mac carbon 32-bit completely. Enjoy :(

As I don't have time to convert Perl solution in Go (as Go is the only language that should be used for such tools, forget about nodejs or python), for now following solution is implemented:

if you don't set window position at all, then:
- if background color is used — window bounds is not set and Finder will position your windows in center of the screen with some OS specific size.
- if background image is set — then x is set to 400 (as before), and y is set to (1440 - backgroundHeight) / 2 where backgroundHeight it is computed automatically height of specified background image. Yes, assumed that 1440 it is height of user display (lesser of two evils).
if you set window bounds:
- if you set only size — x/y is set as for "background image is set" step.
- if you set both x/y and width/height — it is used as is.

I do not have time and plans to implement decent solution (as it was in Perl). First, because Perl solution format is deprecated for ages already, and maybe Apple will drop it sometime. Second, burn in hell, Apple (yes, it seems Apple don't care about developers who don't distribute apps via AppStore).

DropDMG app creates correctly positioned DMG windows. Maybe I will ask ability to reuse DropDMG CLI / support it.

Release will be in 2 days.

@develar ,
Could you please let me know what changes are required to fix this issue on Catalina?

huijunye · 2019-10-09T09:19:49Z

update electron-builder version to 21.2.0

* chore: update electron-builder to 21.2.0 Compiling for mac fails on macOS 10.15.1 with the following error: "Can't locate Mac/Memory.pm" The error originates from electron-builder which is now fixed in their latest version. See: electron-userland/electron-builder#3990 * fix: re-add afterSign script

murzhang · 2020-02-08T01:04:57Z

In the end, I changed it to zip type and it succeeded without affecting the automatic update.

"build":{
"mac": {
"icon": "build/icons/icon.icns",
"target":"zip"
}
}

…out breaking (electron-userland/electron-builder#3990). Updated CLI colour so visible on black/white bgrounds. Updated dev config so shows full e2e for just dev as in all.

This fixes building on Catalina. Refer to this discussion on electron-builder for why: electron-userland/electron-builder#3990

hdiutil was removed because it uses old APIs, and fails to build. there is no reference in the commit in which it was added to package.json. it looks to me that hdiutil is not maintained. update electron-builder. version 14.5.x is too old and has bugs on macos and Windows. at least, 21.2.x is required to build the code. see electron-userland/electron-builder#3990 for example. for ARCH, `amd64` and `i386` are chosen because they are widely used, and what `uname -m` returns. i'm open for alternatives. there are too many `if: matrix.OS == 'windows'`. just to absorb path separator difference. when Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, is available on hosted GitHub Actions runners, they can be removed. maybe, MSYS2 has solutions, but i did not go father because i need a working workflow first. see available software at: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/master/images/win/Windows2019-Readme.md

macOS Catalina (the oldest macOS version supported by Github Actions)[0] is not supported by our current electron-builder version to build .dmg images[1]. Upgrading electron-builder seems to require upgrading NodeJS' version - and I don't want to get lost into that rabbit hole now. The workaround is to build .pkg versions for macOS distribution - that is supported by our current electron-build [0] https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/cd920950ecab4754858eb395a1a763ae20deb342/README.md [1] electron-userland/electron-builder#3990 (comment)

* Add Github Actions to test project can build on pushes * Checkout code before trying to build in CI * Delete old TravisCI config So long, and thanks for all the fish! * Fix NodeJS version on CI builds * Run End-to-End tests in CI using xvfb-run * Build on CI on Windows/macOS as a matrix * Preview releasing instances' build from Github Actions I've commented out the country instances for now, just in case * Expose GITHUB_TOKEN for release CI script * Release 1.2.1.1 to test new CI builds * Release 1.2.2 to test new CI releases * Test builds for staging & demo only We're still drafting the workflow, so I don't want to wait for all the instances * Build macOS releases as .pkg macOS Catalina (the oldest macOS version supported by Github Actions)[0] is not supported by our current electron-builder version to build .dmg images[1].

It's not a hard guarantee, but if it may be a cheap workaround - and it's not that much of an issue if the workaround fail. [0] https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstrategymatrix * Avoid repeating INSTANCES list in Github Actions This allows us to split release creation and installers upload in two separate jobs, so we avoid creating two different drafts for each release * Test if we need to manually create the Github Release `electron-builder` must be doing it by default * Avoid creating Release Drafts from CI script electron-builder takes care of that * Move Release job into a separate workflow That'll allow us to re-run that step independently. We'll then split it into a workflow per instance. * Rollback version change It was a temporal change to be able to debug the builds. This commit rolls it back so we can merge this branch.
