[SOLVED] Adding a non-msi or non-exe file to a package

[flipflip]

Hello everyone,

I'm finally getting started with creating Wapt packages, and my first one is very simple. It consists of copying a file (a batch script) into a folder created specifically for this purpose.

In PyScripter, I add it to my project and in the `install()` function of `setup.py`, I copy it using `filecopyto()`

And the setup.py code

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

def install():
    # Utilise l'uninstall créé par le msi
    if isfile(r'c:\cygwin\unins000.exe'):
        run(r'"c:\cygwin\unins000.exe" /verysilent')

        # Supprime le paquet de l'installation wapt
        softs = installed_softwares('cygwin')
        if softs:
            for soft in softs:
                run(WAPT.uninstall_cmd(soft['key']))

        # Purge des répertoires cygwin et cygwin64
        if isdir(r'c:\cygwin'):
            remove_tree('c:\cygwin')

        if isdir(r'c:\cygwin64'):
            remove_tree('c:\cygwin64')

    path = makepath(programfiles, 'xxx', 'Backup')
    mkdirs(path)
    filecopyto(r'backup_nomade.bat', path)
    pass

When I launch the installation via "Run configuration" I get the error

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\common.py", line 4235, in install_wapt
    exitstatus = setup.install()
  File "E:\waptdev\hil-robocopy-nomade_0_Windows_DEV-wapt\setup.py", line 27, in install
    filecopyto(r'backup_nomade.bat', path)
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\setuphelpers.py", line 601, in filecopyto
    raise FileNotFoundError('filecopyto: Cannot copy file %s: file not found' % filename)
FileNotFoundError: filecopyto: Cannot copy file backup_nomade.bat: file not found

FATAL ERROR : None : None
Exit code:  3

I couldn't find in the documentation how to use a file within a package that isn't an MSI or an EXE. Is it possible, or do I have to use an MSI file?

Thanks in advance,
Philippe.

Hi Philippe,

in your screenshot you added the file to the PyScripter project.

Actually, to put the file in the package, you need to copy it to c:\waptdev\mypackage next to the setup.py script.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

Okay, I thought adding it to PyScripter automatically added it to the package's development directory.

Hi Philippe,

thanks for the feedback! You can now give free rein to your creativity!

I'm marking the topic as resolved.
