Does not work on Ubuntu 23.10

[michaelheider]

What I do

I download code-expert-sync_1.0.1_amd64.AppImage, make it executable and try to run it. It does not work. Maybe I'm missing some dependency?

What happens

Terminal output:

The GUI window pops up. Clicking "Authorize Code Expert Sync" leads it to notifying me of the following crash:

Message: Failed to open Code Expert Login in browser: shell error: failed to open: Scoped shell IO error: exit status: 3

What I expect to happen

According to the docs this should "take you to the Code Expert Web application."

I had this error too but assumed using arch linux was the culprit. After some help from the helpdesk, i got the following:

I solved it by rebuilding it locally. curiously, that solved the issue ... on my laptop. on my desktop the built executable somehow doesn't load, and the app is just blank. also, while trying to create a PKGBUILD so that i can install this on further arch based devices, i didn't succeed in setting it up so that it can get built reliably in a blank container. one of the libraries sometimes doesn't link, and i couldn't figure out why, or when. it just sometimes does and sometimes doesn't

maybe try building it yourself.

to build it,install the prerequisites.

then put this inside of your .env file:

# The full base URL of the Code Expert web application
CX_WEB_URL="https://expert.ethz.ch"
# The full base URL of the Code Expert API
CX_API_URL="https://api.expert.ethz.ch"
# The url to the release page
# https://github.com/CodeExpertETH/CodeExpertDesktop/releases
CX_REPO_RELEASE="https://github.com/CodeExpertETH/CodeExpertDesktop/releases"
APP_SIGNAL_KEY="{{APP_SIGNAL_KEY}}"

then run:

yarn
yarn setup
yarn build
yarn tauri build

in this order. im pretty sure a few of these are technically redundant; however i had the most success like this, and it just sometimes randomly doesn't want to behave else for me.

after that you will have an executable inside of src-tauri/target/release.

i hope this works for you. if i have some time, ill look at the source, and try to fork a command line application that would work the same way and try to get it approved.

i hope this helps
