Outline-client: Linux build 1.0.8 is broken

Created on 19 Jul 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: Jigsaw-Code/outline-client

Latest outline is broken, seems to be a electron build issue with fs-extra. Issue is amplified because the client automatically update itself and even when you revert it will keep breaking.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download outline for linux
  2. Try to run it

Expected behavior
A working client.

We believe this has to do with out Travis config, since our local builds work fine but we've confirmed the binaries coming into our releases have this issue.

@JonathanDCohen thanks very much for looking into it, but it is concerning that the VPN client build shipped at auto-update is not being checked for reproducibility with the repo. I couldn't find a way to stop the auto-update besides blocking network calls for the release URL, would it be possible to make that a non-default behavior ?

electron-update is kind of dumb, i've been trying to poke them to add backup installs for this reason. If you update to 1.0.9 which should be released, then it should all work.

Please keep us informed if you can't get to a working version, and sorry for the problem.
