Error bundling on Linux [SOLVED]

benjames171 · May 10, 2025, 6:43pm

Getting the following message in the editor console when trying to bundle on Linux.

Bundling 'Linux Application...' failed: prelude.lua:364 Failed to show URI:file:/home/toshiba/Documents/tiny-racing/x86_64-linux/

Similar happens when trying to bundle Windows build.

It looks like the last step is failing when the bundle dialog tries to open the target location:

github.com/defold/defold

editor/resources/prelude.lua

dev


      
                  if editor.platform:sub(-#"win32") == "win32" then
                      editor.execute("cmd.exe", "/c", "mkdir", output_directory:gsub("/", "\\"), {reload_resources = false})
                  else
                      editor.execute("mkdir", "-p", output_directory, {reload_resources = false})
                  end
              end
          
              editor.bob(bob_opts, "resolve", "build", "bundle")
          
              if editor.prefs.get("bundle.open-output-directory") then
                  editor.open_external_file(output_directory)
              end
          end
          
          -- Bundling: command
          
          function editor.bundle.command(label, id, fn, rest)
              local result = rest or {}
              result.label = label
              result.id = id
              result.locations = {"Bundle"}

What if you disable the option to open the bundle directory in preferences? Do you get a working bundle or is there something else going wrong before that?

Thanks, that was the issue. The bundle itself is built as expected.
