Client: VFS is disabled and not included on custom Windows Build.

[ozata]

Hello, the last time we built windows successfully with VFS but now when we tried again it comes disabled and not included.

We tried to self.options.dynamic.registerOption("buildVfsWin", False) change this to True on "owncloud/owncloud-client/owncloud-client.py" but it tries to get it from the private repo like https://github.com/owncloud/craft-blueprints-owncloud/issues/14 this issue.

Do you have any recommendations how could we include VFS and enable it as the default option in the Windows Build?

[michaelstingl]

You can build Windows yourself only with the suffix / placeholder approach. Same as macOS and Linux. There must be an option in the scripts.

Is this parameter works for building with KDECraft or MinGW?

[michaelstingl]

KDECraft. No idea about the MinGW. It is no longer used.

The suffix placeholders should be active by default, but can be disabled in the theme.

Thanks. We already got that active but it still doesn't work, might there be another option?

Did it build owncloudsync_vfs_suffix.dll ? Check the logs for
08-10 11:11:45:358 [ info gui.application ]: VFS suffix plugin is available
And as @michaelstingl said, it will only be the suffix implementation not the windows virtual files.

We solved it by altering owncloudtheme.h and theme.cpp, thanks guys, issue closed once again!
