Title:
"Unable to find keyfile for application": Does not look for .desktop
files in click pkgdir
Status in Ubuntu Application Launcher:
New
Status in “ubuntu-app-launch” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
For testing/autopkgtest I want/need to run click apps and their tests
in a schroot or container, as the turnaround with real phones and the
emulator is way too large. But in a container, ubuntu-app-launch fails
with
$ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`
** (process:766): WARNING **: Unable to find keyfile for application 'com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283'
init: application-legacy (com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283-1403523098604203) pre-start process (770) terminated with status 1
In strace I see that it looks for the .desktop file in the following
locations:
/home/ubuntu/.cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop
/home/ubuntu/.local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop
/usr/local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop
/usr/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop
but not in the click dir:
$ click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator
/opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@all/com.ubuntu.calculator
The workaround is to create the symlink manually, then it works:
$ ln -s `click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator`/*.desktop .cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/`ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`.desktop
$ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`
But that's certainly not something that autopkgtest should do.
