Unable to build app using Yarn

[VBtheFirbolg]

OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I tried to build the app from the master branch using Yarn, but I am unable to do so. I get an error that states:

• electron-builder  version=22.11.7 os=5.4.0-94-generic
  • loaded configuration  file=package.json ("build" field)
  • writing effective config  file=dist/builder-effective-config.yaml

I am not sure what I must do to prevent this.

run first yarn to get all dependencies then yarn build:linux to build only for linux

(seems your problem was trying to build for mac from linux - next time you should also post the command you used)

[VBtheFirbolg]

Thank you! I do apologise, I am quite new to all this. I will keep what you said in mind!

[Araxeus]

Nothing to apologies for 😃

feel free to ask anything

I was able to build the app, but the appimage seems to be a bit buggy. For instance, I am unable to integrate it with my system and run it, and the icon seems to be missing in the sidebar when I launch the application. I tried installing the .deb file and it seems to work fine. What details would you have me furnish regarding this?

[Araxeus]

I'm a windows user so don't know about this, hopefully some Linux user could help you

I think the 'Build' readme's section would benefit from clarifying it for those who are unfamiliar with yarn and just copy-paste commands for whatever reason (in my case, not working discord's rich presence in v1.18.0)

Done! See #905
