Insomnia: Unable to access directory during install

Created on 14 May 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: Kong/insomnia

Describe the bug
I've been using core for a good while now and thought I'd checkout designer, but I'm having issues installing using the .deb file.

During installation, I get this error, which exits the installation unsuccessfully.

chmod: cannot access '/opt/Insomnia Designer/chrome-sandbox': No such file or directory

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download .deb
  2. Run dpkg
  3. See error

Expected behavior
The install would run successfully.

Hmm, I get the same thing. I wonder if it's because there is a space in the path /opt/Insomnia Designer/chrome-sandbox?

Please fix your download links for Designer on Linux. They lead to nowhere. Whoever put out the blog post should check the links, esp. for Linux.

Dear all, I think that somehow the Insomnia installation scripts for Debian fail to provide the missing chrome-sandbox, either by providing it physically, or by finding links to it in a previously installed package.

But what would be the best temporary solution to this problem ?

For instance, I got chrome-sandbox under/usr/share/code/chrome-sandbox

Should I do a symbolic link to it from /opt/Insomnia ?

Of course that won't repair the broken installation process. Should we tinker with the Debian installation scripts to correct the problem ?

Or maybe it would be better to download the source code for Insomnia, compile it all and then fix manually the missing links ?
