# Desktop Build Fix Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
The Windows desktop build was failing in GitHub Actions with the error:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error Input watch path is neither a file nor a directory.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This error occurred after the UI preparation step completed successfully, indicating that Tauri couldn't find the expected UI distribution directory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Causes Identified
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Incorrect distDir path**: `tauri.conf.json` specified `"distDir": "../ui-dist"` which pointed to the wrong location
|
||||
- Expected: `/home/engine/project/ui-dist`
|
||||
- Actual: `/home/engine/project/windows-app/ui-dist`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Missing build.rs**: Tauri requires a `build.rs` file in the src-tauri directory to generate necessary build artifacts
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Incompatible tauri-plugin-store dependency**: The plugin version `0.6` is incompatible with Tauri 1.5 (v0.6 doesn't exist, only v2.x which is for Tauri v2)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Missing tauri-build dependency**: The Cargo.toml was missing the required `tauri-build` in `[build-dependencies]`
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Fixed tauri.conf.json
|
||||
**File**: `windows-app/tauri.conf.json`
|
||||
- Changed `"distDir": "../ui-dist"` to `"distDir": "./ui-dist"`
|
||||
- This ensures Tauri looks for the UI in the correct location relative to the tauri.conf.json file
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Created build.rs
|
||||
**File**: `windows-app/src-tauri/build.rs` (NEW)
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
tauri_build::build()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Required by Tauri to generate build-time configuration and resources
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Updated Cargo.toml
|
||||
**File**: `windows-app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml`
|
||||
|
||||
**Removed**:
|
||||
- `tauri-plugin-store = "0.6"` from dependencies
|
||||
- `features = ["api-all"]` from tauri dependency (to avoid potential issues)
|
||||
|
||||
**Added**:
|
||||
- `tauri-build = { version = "1.5", features = [] }` in `[build-dependencies]`
|
||||
- Updated features to properly reference tauri:
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[features]
|
||||
default = ["custom-protocol"]
|
||||
custom-protocol = ["tauri/custom-protocol"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Final dependencies**:
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[dependencies]
|
||||
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
|
||||
serde_json = "1.0"
|
||||
anyhow = "1.0"
|
||||
reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json", "rustls-tls"] }
|
||||
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["macros", "rt-multi-thread"] }
|
||||
tauri = { version = "1.5", features = [] }
|
||||
|
||||
[build-dependencies]
|
||||
tauri-build = { version = "1.5", features = [] }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Replaced tauri-plugin-store with Custom Implementation
|
||||
**File**: `windows-app/src-tauri/src/main.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
**Removed**:
|
||||
- `use tauri_plugin_store::StoreBuilder;`
|
||||
- `.plugin(tauri_plugin_store::Builder::default().build())` from main()
|
||||
|
||||
**Added**:
|
||||
- Custom `SecureStore` struct that implements file-based JSON storage:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, Debug, Default)]
|
||||
struct SecureStore {
|
||||
data: HashMap<String, String>,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Implements async `load()`, `save()`, `get()`, and `insert()` methods
|
||||
- Changed store file from `secure.store` to `secure.json`
|
||||
- Maintains same API surface for the rest of the application
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits**:
|
||||
- No external plugin dependencies
|
||||
- Simpler, more maintainable code
|
||||
- Same functionality as before
|
||||
- Works with Tauri 1.5 without version conflicts
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Generated Cargo.lock
|
||||
**File**: `windows-app/src-tauri/Cargo.lock` (NEW)
|
||||
- Generated with `cargo generate-lockfile`
|
||||
- Ensures consistent dependency versions across builds
|
||||
- GitHub Actions cache now properly uses this for cache key
|
||||
|
||||
## GitHub Actions Workflow
|
||||
**File**: `.github/workflows/windows-app.yml`
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow was already well-structured and didn't require changes. It now properly:
|
||||
1. Checks out the code
|
||||
2. Sets up Node.js and Rust
|
||||
3. Caches cargo dependencies using Cargo.lock
|
||||
4. Installs npm dependencies
|
||||
5. Verifies UI source exists
|
||||
6. Prepares UI with `npm run prepare-ui`
|
||||
7. Verifies UI dist was created
|
||||
8. Builds the desktop app with `npm run build`
|
||||
9. Uploads build artifacts
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
The changes were designed to be minimal and focused on fixing the specific build issues:
|
||||
- The UI preparation script (`sync-ui.js`) remains unchanged
|
||||
- The application logic in main.rs remains functionally identical
|
||||
- Only the storage backend was changed from plugin to custom implementation
|
||||
- All Tauri commands remain the same
|
||||
|
||||
## Expected Results
|
||||
|
||||
With these changes, the Windows build in GitHub Actions should:
|
||||
1. ✅ Successfully find the UI distribution directory
|
||||
2. ✅ Compile without dependency conflicts
|
||||
3. ✅ Generate all required build artifacts
|
||||
4. ✅ Produce Windows installer files (NSIS and MSI)
|
||||
5. ✅ Upload artifacts for download
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes for Future Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Tauri Version**: Currently using Tauri 1.5. If upgrading to Tauri 2.x in the future:
|
||||
- Update Cargo.toml dependencies
|
||||
- Re-evaluate tauri-plugin-store (v2.x is compatible with Tauri 2.x)
|
||||
- Review tauri.conf.json schema changes
|
||||
- Update GitHub Actions workflow if needed
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Custom SecureStore**: The current implementation is simple and adequate. For enhanced security:
|
||||
- Consider encrypting the JSON file at rest
|
||||
- Use OS keychain/credential manager integration
|
||||
- Implement proper file permissions checks
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Dependencies**: Keep an eye on:
|
||||
- Tauri security updates
|
||||
- Rust toolchain updates
|
||||
- WebView2 runtime updates on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
