Fatal error: Copied file during build

[jwoertink]

When I try building my app, I get this error:

[14:48PM] ard-checkin-client$ grunt

Here is my Gruntfile.js

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  var pkg = grunt.file.readJSON('package.json');
  var VERSION = '0.11.5';

  grunt.initConfig({
    pkg: pkg,
    nodewebkit: {
      osx: {
        options: {
          version: VERSION,
          appName: pkg.name,
          appVersion: pkg.version,
          platforms: ['osx'],
          macIcns: './app/alice.icns'
        },
        src: ['./app/**']
      },
      win: {
        options: {
          version: VERSION,
          appName: pkg.name,
          appVersion: pkg.version,
          platforms: ['win'],
          winIco: './app/alice.ico'
        },
        src: ['./app/**']
      },
      all: {
        options: {
          version: VERSION,
          appName: pkg.name,
          appVersion: pkg.version,
          platforms: ['win', 'osx'],
          winIco: './app/alice.ico',
          macIcns: './app/alice.icns'
        },
        src: ['./app/**']
      }
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-node-webkit-builder');
  var target = grunt.option('target') || 'osx';
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['nodewebkit:'+target]);
};

I'm on OSX 10.9.5

Although the error happens, the default version of the node-webkit app still builds. I just don't see my version.

[sergiopvilar]

Same problem here.

[jwoertink]

I noticed that if I keep running grunt it will eventually just work. I dropped back down to version 0.2.3 and it works every time.

[adam-lynch]

Yeah 😦. See nwutils/nw-builder#142 and nwutils/nw-builder#147

[chimon2000]

+1 for this issue. I'm running this from Windows. It works fine when I target win, but breaks on osx.

[sergiopvilar]

0.2.3 works!

[jeandat]

Same thing here with grunt-node-webkit-builder 1.0.0 and node v0.10.26 on yosemite. Sometimes it will eventually pass. Generally, it takes 3 tries.

[egekhter]

Same error here - eventually builds - usually takes 4 tries.

Likewise, i was encountered the issue.

I have encountered this issue too, unfortunately.

@sergiovilar @jwoertink - you each report 0.2.3 working. Just so I'm 100% clear, version 0.2.3 of what?

Thanks!

[jwoertink]

0.2.3 of grunt-node-webkit-builder

[tphalp]

Same problem here, OS X 10.10.1, grunt-node-webkit-builder 1.0.0, using node-webkit-builder 1.0.6

It will eventually work, but usually takes a few tries.

same error on windows: filename of download changed: http://dl.nwjs.io/v0.12.0-alpha2/nwjs-v0.12.0-alpha2-win-x64.zip

[felixSchl]

If you take that awkward retry loop out, it fails every time for me - means I can reproduce reliably. That retry loop is out of place anyway, imo.

[adam-lynch]

I just published version 1.0.8 of node-webkit-builder. It helps but doesn't fix it 100%. Try

npm cache clean
npm install grunt-node-webkit-builder

[halfabench]

it works for me! thanks!

[jeandat]

Me too. No issues since 1.0.8. Good work.

Closing in favour of nwutils/nw-builder#180 & nwutils/nw-builder#142
