[Question] How many time does release build needed on MacOs?

[bigdogs]

Hi,
cargo tauri build was hang for about 4 hours for my empty demo(crated by cargo tauri init), Not sure if this is a normal case.

I notice that rustc is still working

Compiled failed finally... :(

(signal: 9, SIGKILL: kill)
Error: failed to build app

Same or similar issue here on Ubuntu 21.04. Building in release mode hangs in the building step for a undefinite period of time.

I'm using latest beta.10 version. No web frameworks (so no Vue, Angular or similar) are used but part of the code uses WASM (if this is somehow relevant).

Any ideas what could be the reason?

Can you guys share your tauri info output? Specifically I'd like to know the distDir on your tauri.conf.json file.

Hi Lucas,

after your comment, I was able to fix the issue. In my case, I was executing the npm run tauri build command from parent directory of src-tauri (in which index.html is located). But it looks like that distDir was looking for index.html not relative to src-tauri but relative to my current directory. After changing distDir to ./, everything started working.

Not sure if I was using tauri wrong - if yes sorry for confusion!

distDir is relative to src-tauri, but you can't use ./ since that'll increase your bundle size (including target folder etc).

Hi, thanks for your hint. I was misunderstanding what I was doing. Setting distDir to correct folder (dist) folder, solved the issue with compilation time. The error sat in front of the screen all the time. :)
