[SOLVED] Need help creating a Slack package

[Thomas]

Good morning,

I am encountering a problem while installing a basic package:
Here are the steps involved in making my package:
1. Creating the template:

Code: Select all

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wapt-get make-template C:\SlackSetup.exe coldis-slack
Template created. You can build the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-package \\wapt\waptdev$\coldis-slack-wapt
You can build and upload the WAPT package by launching
  C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.exe build-upload \\wapt\waptdev$\coldis-slack-wapt
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

So far, no problem, the package is created and Pyscripter starts.
2. Setup.py:

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = []

def install():
    print('installing coldis-slack')
    install_exe_if_needed("SlackSetup.exe",'/VERYSILENT',key='',min_version='3.1.1')

3. control:

Code: Select all

package           : coldis-slack
version           : 3.1.1-0
architecture      : all
section           : base

when I run the install command:

Code: Select all

Exit code:  3

However, if I create my template with:

Code: Select all

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wapt-get make-template C:\SlackSetup.exe c:\coldis-slack

So with a local path, the contents of setup.py and control are similar (the only difference is the package name: c:\coldis-slack instead of coldis-slack)

But when I run the install command, the program installs correctly. However, it doesn't work via the server after using -i build-upload.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Thomas,

CMD.EXE started with the path as the
current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Using
the default Windows directory.
'"SlackSetup.exe"' is not recognized as an internal
or external command, operable program, or batch file.

The problem lies in the error message. It seems that `make-template` isn't correctly interpreting the UNC path and therefore isn't correctly transferring the information to the package. I'll open a bug report regarding this. For now, you can copy the .exe file to your local machine before running the command.

And by the way, since it's probably an Electron application, we'll also need to check if it installs correctly in program files, and not in the user profile.

Sincerely,

Denis
