Error while Running Disk Image

[not-nef]

ok, so, i tried building a disk image from the current repo state (i only excluded the line mentioned in the previous issue) and when running the app, it throws me the following error:

So it's a Mac Mini... Can it run Catalina?

[im-coder-lg]

I don't understand what this means:

Dyld Error Message:

Is it saying that it couldn't find the Python library?

[sumeshir26]

@im-coder-lg Yeah, python doesent seem to run, now running a action which will generate a DMG to give to @not-nef

[im-coder-lg]

👍

[im-coder-lg]

Link doesn't work.

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef Try this:
TimerX(1).zip

[not-nef]

So it's a Mac Mini... Can it run Catalina?

no, it cant run any newer version then it already does.

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef Run that DMG(It should work)

[im-coder-lg]

It's just a redirect, try uploading the DMG but this time, use the popup method.

[not-nef]

@not-nef Try this:

TimerX(1).zip

It says i need macos 10.14 or newer.

ill MAYBE be able to test it on a mac with big sur, but i cant promise.

[im-coder-lg]

It says i need macos 10.14 or newer. Wow. High Sierra ain't supported anymore. @not-nef best is to switch to Linux since my switching will take a LOT of time(lazy me). ill MAYBE be able to test it on a mac with big sur, but i cant promise. Well, if it is kind of like a company laptop, DO NOT try the DMG on it. I bet they'll deactivate the laptop after noticing an "unknown" program on it.

[not-nef]

no its not a company laptop, its the macmini of my dad.

[im-coder-lg]

Does it have Big Sur? If it does, tell your dad that you want to test an installer of an open-source project and that you will uninstall it after the test, since that could relieve your dad's mind about viruses and it will free up some disk space.

[im-coder-lg]

Also, noticed this(from @not-nef, no offense :))(you forgot to delete your edit):

epic quote fail

Don't worry, I am not offended, it's Vivaldi Mail(the best way to keep updated though) and GitHub, they don't format Markdown on emails. Anyway, back to the topic. Should we add a Python Library in the so-called @executable-path? Moreover @sumeshir26 can you run the release draft action of Windows and macOS? I wanna try a teardown with PeaZip. You don't need to send a link to download, you can just run the action and inform me, I'll take care of the rest.

[sumeshir26]

In the actions tab, Look at artifacts produced in the latest run of the Release Build workflow.

[sumeshir26]

You know what, I will give you write acess to this repo so you can do these things without waiting for me.

[im-coder-lg]

I didn't recieve the notif yet, can you check that?

[not-nef]

Bad news, i tried running the app on a big sur mac. If i open it, you can see TimerX in the Menu bar (the gui doesnt load tho) and after a split second it just closes.

i suggest dropping support for macos.

[im-coder-lg]

We need some logs, can you try making a recording + install logs to help us in this? Also, I will have to use PeaZip for a teardown so prepare for that too!

[not-nef]

this is getting a bit too complicated for me, and i wont install anything on my dads mac as he doesnt like that (not because he doesnt know anything about it, but he just doesnt want it dont ask why).

[not-nef]

god why is macos so important to you guys

[im-coder-lg]

god why is macos so important to you guys

Well, if you look at the computer(desktop/laptop) share in today's market and just compare it to the air share, Windows is like Nitrogen, macOS is like Oxygen and Linux is like the remaining 1% of mixed gases(different distros). We could use the Wine compatibility layer but that needs to be installed via HomeBrew. So we thought of making MSIs, which are successful, then DMGs, RPMs and using a Linux tool called Alien, convert the RPM to DEB.
Maybe we could just ask users to use the Wine layer till we successfully add support.

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef Thanks for your help, will tell when MacOS support is re-added.

[sumeshir26]

@im-coder-lg Continue with your teardown...

[im-coder-lg]

Hey @sumeshir26 since we have separate actions for each OS, can we remove the old release.yml too? Best done in @not-nef's fork since that'd be easier.

[sumeshir26]

No! If you run that, it successfully generates one for all platforms and creates a release successfully. I spent a week on that!

[im-coder-lg]

Well, didn't do that! Phew! I needed to know if we needed that since I used the same name on my old PRs.

[im-coder-lg]

Anyway, teardown results:
TimerX.zip
macOS seems to run Windows apps though(check the TimerX.app/Contents/MacOS directory)... Apple, what have you done here?

[im-coder-lg]

If you run that, it successfully generates one for all platforms and creates a release successfully.

Can I test that? Just curious. Also, did you mark the release as a draft(in the YAML code)? If you didn't, I will, since we need to document the changes directly, not via the GitHub Actions. There's a new feature that allows you to automatically document all changes, so I will make sure it creates a draft release and try the auto release note feature. If it releases TimerX, I'd never ever use the auto notes feature.

[sumeshir26]

Yes, pease!

[im-coder-lg]

Well, failed in the macOS steps, fixing that in my branch. For the delay, I was checking my notifs and clearing some Vivaldi clutter.

[sumeshir26]

Reopening because not fixed

[not-nef]

okay, i thought you dropped macos support, my fault

[sumeshir26]

Hey guys, The Go project sounds reallay awsome, Ill help however I can
Ps. i commented here because gh teams suck
Pps. Im impressed with codespaces so far... Goodbye Gitpod i guess?

[sumeshir26]

@Futura-Py/Reviewers

[im-coder-lg]

Sir, yes, sir! I just have to add some framework. Now my school's making me work into the actual regular timings, so devel would be really slow.

[not-nef]

Guys i just saw we have gh pages, so we wouldnt need to host our website on netlify!

[sumeshir26]

Yeah!

[im-coder-lg]

But Netlify has live previews. According to me, that's better than cloning our documentation files locally and running Docusaurus via Yarn. It seems better. Maybe for an org website it's fine.
