I don't think I can send the entire error as text to my phone without KDE Connect, but I can manually type out what I think is the important line. I'm trying to create a lightly customized version of Fedora Budgie Atomic for myself, and I get an error saying something like this when trying to build it as a test. I was able to find an answer to a previous problem I had by searching in this server, but not this time. Is there any obvious cause and easy solution for this? It also complains about Error 1 on line 2 and Error 2 on line 148 of the makefile, which is hopefully enough to get pointed in the right direction when combined with the error message.

is your repo generated from the template? image publishing is built in if you are on github

Does using the workshop to create the repo count as using the template? Because that's how I did it.

yes it does

Hmm I'm running into this as well. I do have image publishing working so I'll try building it from that image. Did that work for you?

Honestly, I kinda just gave up and forgot. Maybe something's fixed itself in the time since then, but I'd have to set up the building stuff again to check.

I've got a [PR](https://github.com/blue-build/cli/pull/728) for trying to fix this, but I haven't gotten back around to it

Hmmm, well I got the building from an image to work but there isnt anything actually in the output directory 🤔 I ran the following:

bluebuild generate-iso -vv --iso-name ${{forgejo.ref_name}}-tillos.iso --tempdir temp -o iso image forge.bcstuff.io/bcfranchise-public/tillos-cosmic-nvidia:br-${{forgejo.ref_name}}-44

tree

and it says its building, but there isnt anything in the

iso

directory. I also saw a

build

dir referenced in the logs but theres no directory called

build

either... Heres how it parsed my generate-iso command too:

command: GenerateIso(
        GenerateIsoCommand {
            command: Image {
                image: "forge.bcstuff.io/***-public/tillos-cosmic-nvidia:br-0.0.4-44",
            },
            output_dir: Some(
                "iso",
            ),
            variant: Kinoite,
            secure_boot_url: "https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/raw/main/secure_boot.der",
            enrollment_password: "universalblue",
            iso_name: Some(
                "0.0.4-tillos.iso",
            ),
            web_ui: false,
            tempdir: None,
            platform: None,
            drivers: DriverArgs {
                build_driver: None,
                inspect_driver: None,
                signing_driver: None,
                run_driver: None,
                boot_driver: None,
            },
        },
    )

I did notice in the tests in your PR you test the command but dont assert that the ISO is actually present in

ISO_OUT

so i wonder if its failing there too

Yeah I started, but didn't end up getting anywhere. This year has been a bit of a wash for me when it comes to working on the project. Though I think I'm starting to get back into the swing of things

Hey so I tried to just directly go use the https://github.com/JasonN3/build-container-installer action and it did the same thing where it appears to be creating an ISO properly but it just doesnt copy it out of the container its using. I also replicated that with bluebuild and I can see it make the iso in the build container it makes, but then it finishes without putting it anywhere outside of the container 😅 Idk if thats helpful, but it definitely seems like its a

build-container-installer

issue

could you perhaps use a subsequent gh action to upload the iso somewhere?

Unfortunately I cant get it out of the build-container-installer container for some reason. I finally did get it to work just locally in docker compose with something like this:

build-container-installer:
    image: ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:main
    privileged: true
    volumes:
      - ./direct/workspace:/github/workspace/
      - ./direct/dnf-cache:/cache/dnf
      - ./direct/dnf_new:/cache/dnf_new
    command: |
      ARCH=x86_64 \
      DNF_CACHE="/cache/dnf" \
      ENROLLMENT_PASSWORD=container-installer \
      IMAGE_NAME=<REDACTED> \
      IMAGE_REPO=<MY_REPO> \
      IMAGE_TAG=br-0.0.6-44 \
      ISO_NAME="/github/workspace/0.0.6-<REDACTED>.iso"

Strangely the ISO is generates does work, but behaves slightly differently that when I install the OS by first using Fedora Atomic Cosmic then using

bootc switch

to install it. But at least it works lol
