[bug] When using a global `build.target-dir` for Cargo, `cargo tauri dev` panics at 'failed to rename app'. #4632

dsaghliani · 2022-07-09T15:11:56Z

Describe the bug

When using a global target-dir for all projects (instead of storing the builds in the project folder, Cargo writes to ~/.cargo_builds), cargo tauri dev panics, because "no such file or directory" exists. At a guess, the build script doesn't expand to the full path and ends up looking for a local .cargo_builds.

Reproduction

Go to the Cargo installation (on Linux, ~/.cargo).
Create config.toml if it doesn't already exist.
Add the following inside:

[build]
target-dir = ".cargo_builds"

Create a sample front end. In my case, I used Vite with Svelte.
Initialize the Tauri back end.
Configure the build settings in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json.
Run cargo tauri dev.

Expected behavior

The project should build and a Tauri app window should open. This happens when not using a global target-dir.

I'm able to produce this same issue on macOS 12.3 without setting target-dir. A completely vanilla install will produce this issue, and it doesn't, at least in my case, be related to path expansion since the error include full path name.

Installing progressively older versions of cargo-tauri indicates that the issue was introduced in 1.0.1. I'm going to attack it with git bisect and figure out what commit the issue was introduced. That should make the fix easier to determine unless someone already knows what the issue is and how to fix it.

jhutchins · 2022-07-09T18:19:20Z

After bisecting it appears the issue was added in b025b9f which I suppose makes sense since that's associated with #4447 which is about setting the binary name.

lucasfernog · 2022-07-09T18:29:54Z

Custom target dir isn't supported at the moment though we could implement it.

@jhutchins can you share your Cargo.toml? we do have some known issues regarding it (specially if you use [[bin]]). The plan is to fix it for the next release.

dsaghliani · 2022-07-10T04:03:32Z

@lucasfernog Support would be appreciated. I'm new to Tauri, but if it's a simple-enough change—and it probably is—I can help.

jhutchins · 2022-07-11T15:59:53Z

@lucasfernog here is my Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "app"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "A Tauri App"
authors = ["you"]
license = ""
repository = ""
default-run = "app"
edition = "2021"
rust-version = "1.57"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[build-dependencies]
tauri-build = { version = "1.0.3", features = [] }

[dependencies]
serde_json = "1.0"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
tauri = { version = "1.0.3", features = ["api-all"] }

[features]
# by default Tauri runs in production mode
# when `tauri dev` runs it is executed with `cargo run --no-default-features` if `devPath` is an URL
default = [ "custom-protocol" ]
# this feature is used used for production builds where `devPath` points to the filesystem
# DO NOT remove this
custom-protocol = [ "tauri/custom-protocol" ]

My reproduction steps are pretty straight froward. I just follow the Getting Started guide.

$ cargo install tauri-cli --version "^1.0.0"
$  npm create tauri-app
? What is your app name? tauri-app
? What should the window title be? Tauri App
? What UI recipe would you like to add? Vanilla.js (html, css, and js without the bundlers)
$ cd tauri-app
$ npm install
$ npm run tauri dev

The error isn't crazy, it is correct that there is no file /Users/jeffrey.hutchins/mine/temp/tauri-app/src-tauri/target/debug/app it is instead at /Users/jeffrey.hutchins/mine/temp/tauri-app/src-tauri/target/x86_64-apple-darwin/debug/app I'm not sure if storing the build artifact under a target triple specific folder is strange or common behavior since I've not really dug deeply into how cargo stores build artifacts previously.

lucasfernog · 2022-07-12T14:01:22Z

@jhutchins can you share the output of rustup target list and rustup toolchain list? Storing the build artifact under a target triple specific folder is a Cargo behavior, but it should only do that if you specify a custom target (so using the default one should store artifacts under src-tauri/target/debug unless you configure Cargo to do something else.
