beeware / briefcase-linux-appimage-template Goto Github PK

What is the problem or limitation you are having?

The app script currently sets a PYTHONPATH that includes the app and app_packages paths, plus the stdlib.

These paths are all inside the application bundle, which the user does not have access to modify.

If a user wants to add additional files to the PYTHONPATH (e.g., if you were building a "Jupyter Notebook" app, and wanted the user to be able to access user-installed packages), you can't install that code into app or app_packages.

Describe the solution you'd like

The app script should include an XDG compliant user path as part of the standard app path. This is probably:

~/.local/share/<app name>/user_packages

Describe alternatives you've considered

Don't allow user-installed packages.

Additional context

See beeware/briefcase-linux-system-template#3 and beeware/briefcase-linux-flatpak-template#18 for analogous problems.

Describe the bug

The pre-commit update job is failing since brutus doesn't have access to the repo.

Describe the bug
briefcase create fails with the following error:

STEP 11/18: RUN python${PY_VERSION} -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages (21.2.4)
Collecting pip
  Downloading pip-22.0.4-py3-none-any.whl (2.1 MB)
Installing collected packages: pip
  Attempting uninstall: pip
    Found existing installation: pip 21.2.4
    Uninstalling pip-21.2.4:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: 'webencodings'

Error: error building at STEP "RUN python${PY_VERSION} -m pip install --upgrade pip": error while running runtime: exit status 1

Error building Docker container for helloworld.

Tested with python 3.9 and 3.10.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow the tutorial to build an AppImage (https://docs.beeware.org/en/latest/tutorial/tutorial-3.html)
2. python3.9 -m venv --system-site-packages beeware-venv
3. source beeware-venv/bin/activate
4. briefcase new
5. briefcase create

Expected behavior
No error, the AppImage should be created (I assume ;))

Environment:

• Operating System: Fedora Linux 35 (Thirty Five)
• Python version: 3.9, also tested with 3.10
• Software versions:
  • Briefcase: 0.3.6
  • cookiecutter: 1.7.3

Additional context
Complete log.txt

When building a Linux AppImage, the Docker container produces the following warning:

WARNING: The directory '/home/brutus/.cache/pip' or its parent directory is not owned or is not writable by the current user. The cache has been disabled. Check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you should use sudo's -H flag.

This is only a warning - it doesn't stop the build process. However, it is alarming, and printed in bright yellow, so it stands out.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Generate a helloworld app with Briefcase
2. Run briefcase build linux
3. See error described above4.

Expected behavior

There shouldn't be any avoidable warnings when building the AppImage.

Additional context

This is likely due to not setting the ownership flags on the brutus user home directory.
