macOS 12.3 Beta has removed the Python 2 support: spawn /usr/bin/python ENOENT #6606

pan93412 · 2022-02-02T11:42:38Z

Electron-Builder Version: 22.13.1

Node Version: v16.13.1

Electron Version: 16.0.8
Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

electron-updater Version: 4.6.5

Target: macOS (x86, ARM64, universal?)

macOS 12.3 has removed the Python 2 support; thus, /usr/bin/python has been removed. electron-builder tries to call /usr/bin/python and it throws Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn /usr/bin/python ENOENT.

I'm not sure if the current vendor python scripts are python 3 compatible.
Can you try running electron builder with PYTHON_PATH=<path to python 3> to test it?

electron-builder/packages/dmg-builder/src/dmg.ts

Lines 301 to 304 in b01d522

Seems not compatible. Maybe we need to port it to Python 3 first.

I followed the exception instruction from python3 and it seems work now. However, I'm not sure whether it works correct. :/

mmaietta · 2022-02-04T15:57:56Z

Should be working correctly, the only difference is depending upon which version of python you're using.

=> 3.4 -> importlib
< 3.4 -> imp
< 3 (i.e. Python 2) -> record is built-in function

https://stackoverflow.com/a/33409066

I'll need to figure out a way to support both python 2 and python 3. I'm not sure what the other python scripts in the vendor dir are used for yet.

mmaietta · 2022-02-04T17:26:20Z

I think this might do the trick:

import sys
if sys.version_info.major == 3:
    try:
        from importlib import reload
    except ImportError:
        from imp import reload

…3+ which has entirely removed python2 (fixes: #6606)

        from importlib import reload
    except ImportError:

Not only this. I also commented out # from __future__ import unicode_literals and sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF8') as Python 3 has supported Unicode natively.

mmaietta · 2022-02-04T21:20:56Z

Great point, we can add that as an if-else statement as I think we should continue supporting Python 2 since it seems unnecessary to drop support for it.

Hi, this has not resolved the issue for me, I get same error on electron builder 23.0.0-alpha.4 on latest macOS 12.3 beta.

I cannot build my app I always get:

Ok, it's working again in version 23.0.2, thanks.

eeshairfan · 2022-04-16T21:54:18Z

The thing is I have already made executables with this code and it was working all this time. Suddenly it decides to stop working.

Stanzilla · 2022-04-20T00:28:47Z

It still fails on .6 here as well but I guess it's because this plugin still uses the old lib

@eeshairfan I've just updated deps (incl. ejs -> async) in v23.0.8, that should resolve the audit issues you mentioned :)

Versions lower than 23.0.2 don't work on newest macOS, see: * electron-userland/electron-builder#6732 * electron-userland/electron-builder#6606

* Take `localClusterUri` into account in `QuickInput` (#679) * Display cluster name for each connection * Automatically try to connect a connection when possible * Update connection icon * Always use root cluster URI to obtain `documentsService` in `useServerConnect` * Don't close the tab on non-zero exit code * Autocomplete database names for tsh proxy db * Change placeholder text in `ClusterAdd` * Show leaf cluster name when possible in Connections list * Hide kubes and apps * Force `TopBar` items to take full height * Change shortcut to open `QuickInput` * Update electron-builder to 23.0.3 Versions lower than 23.0.2 don't work on newest macOS, see: * electron-userland/electron-builder#6732 * electron-userland/electron-builder#6606 * remove `Navigator` code (#685) * Prevent breaking layout on long cluster name (#688) * Show username when possible in identity list (#687) * Update command for updating proto files * Update protobufs for Teleterm (LoginRequest params) This commit removes a bunch of unused protobufs and also updates some of those that got updated on the teleterm branch in the teleport repo. The biggest change from all of them is that LoginRequest now has oneof on Sso and Local. [1] This is because a login request should have either Sso or Local params, but not both at the same time. The previous implementation called both `setSso` and `setLogin` on the same object. This no longer works with the use of `oneof`, because calling `setLogin` after `setSso` would clear the `Sso` params.

Hi, on MacOS 12.3.1 Chip M1 Pro, I did the following procedures: 1 - Use ASDF to install python v2: asdf install python 2.7.18 2 - Set Python on shell with asdf: asdf shell python 2.7.18 3 - Export PYTHON_PATH environment: export PYTHON_PATH=/Users/YOUR_USER/.asdf/shims/python

Bingo! Now I can create the .DMG again.

Hope this helps someone else who has gone through this too.

export PYTHON_PATH ... Is it to be added to the system level or the user level?

thanks a lot, I resolve this problem by this configuration in package.json:

{
  ...
  "devDependencies": {
    ...
     "vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder": "^2.1.1",
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/electron-builder": "^23.0.6"
  },
  ...
}

It still fails on .6 here as well but I guess it's because this plugin still uses the old lib

 Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn /usr/bin/python ENOENT
    at /Users/stan/projects/personal/WeakAuras-Companion/node_modules/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/node_modules/builder-util/src/util.ts:133:18
    at exithandler (node:child_process:406:5)

Edit: When I force it via npm override it works:

"overrides": {
    "vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder": {
      "electron-builder": "^23.0.6"
    }
  }

I've updated macOS 12.6, I'm using electron-builder version-22.8.1 and facing same problem of missing python on path: /usr/bin/python I've changed the hard coded path of /usr/bin/python to /usr/local/bin/python inside package dmg-builder in file out/dmg.js. now try to build and it worked perfectly.

await (0, _builderUtil().exec)("/usr/local/bin/python", [path.join((0, _dmgUtil().getDmgVendorPath)(), "dmgbuild/core.py")], { cwd: (0, _dmgUtil().getDmgVendorPath)(), env });

Hello, I have solved this problem on macbook using ASDF, I set the python version in the shell where I am running the build. ex: asdf shell python 2.7.18
Hope this helps!!!

Versions lower than 23.0.2 don't work on newest macOS, see: * electron-userland/electron-builder#6732 * electron-userland/electron-builder#6606

MacOS is specified by version number explicitly because tag "macos-latest" refers to macos-11 or macos-12 randomly during GitHub action's transition while macos 12 removed Python 2 which is required by electron-builder. Since latest electron-builder has supported python3, this hotfix will not introduce python2 in host but downgrade it to macos 12 Ref: electron-userland/electron-builder#6606

See electron-userland/electron-builder#6606

and equally importantly upgrade electron-builder to 23.6+ per this bug electron-userland/electron-builder#6606

You could also just use python3. Change the default python to python3's, for example export PYTHON_PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin/python3. Then it will* have two errors on the python3 compatibility. Simply resolve those two errors through simple stackoverflow search (editing the core.js file that shown in the error report).

The GitHub-hosted runners began experiencing issues while building macOS desktop distributions, exclusively affecting the macOS environment. The Ubuntu and Windows environments remained unaffected. The logs highlighted the absence of Python in the macOS environment, which resulted in build failure: ```sh Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn /usr/bin/python ENOENT ``` Since the `electron-builder` package uses Python scripts to create DMG disk images for macOS distributions, Python is needed for building the application. However, electron-builder uses Python 2.X meanwhile modern macOS versions have removed Python 2.X from the operating system on default installation. Although this issue was resolved in `electron-builder` version 23,, `vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` continues to use version 22. Due to a lack of maintenance, the package is unlikely to receive updates. This commit forces `vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` to use the latest `electron-builder` which resolves the macOS distribution build failure. In CI process, GitHub-hosted runners start to fail when building macOS desktop distributions. It is only observered in the macOS environment while the application is built successfully in both the Ubuntu and Windows environments. The error message in the logs indicated that Python was not found in the macOS environment: ```sh Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn /usr/bin/python ENOENT ``` `electron-builder` package uses Python scripts for certain operations, specifically for creating DMG disk images for macOS distributions. As a result, Python is a necessary dependency when building the application for macOS. `electron-builder` has fixed this starting from version 23, but vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder still refers to version 22 and it is unmaintained and not likely to get updates. The solution is to add a step in the GitHub Actions workflow to set up Python in the macOS environment. `actions/setup-python` sets up the Python environment in the runner if the OS is macOS. This change does not impact the Ubuntu and Windows environments as the setup-python step is conditionally executed only for macOS. The addition of Python to the macOS environment in CI process has resolved the build failure issue for the macOS distribution.
