I'm having issues defining what runtime to embed when deploying a desktop app. Anyone got experience with this? Seb mentioned @dcampogiani 🙏

[dcampogiani]

I am not sure I am the Daniele C mentioned by @seb 🤔

[seb]

Nope

[pablisco]

Oops, sorry 🙈

[dcampogiani]

😄

[seb]

I meant ex Novoda Daniele 🤪

[pablisco]

So many Danieles 😅

[pablisco]

Aaaah!

[seb]

He's not here, would've tagged him otherwise

[pablisco]

That makes sense. Thanks 🙏

[dcampogiani]

I'm everywhere and I know nothing instead.

I have experienced this but only attempted to solve it for macOS. You can check my Gradle file: https://github.com/romainguy/kotlin-explorer/blob/main/build.gradle.kts

[pablisco]

Was it modules("jdk.unsupported") what fixed it?

[romainguy]

Depends on the issue you are running into but this was needed by JNA which is used by Jewel. Crafting the right proguard rules was also a pain

[pablisco]

Oof, I gave up momentarily on proguard (for now) after trying it 😅

[romainguy]

Copy my config :)

I'm struggling to package the app with JBR embeded

[pablisco]

The app works when running it, as long as I change the JDK on the IDE to use JBR, but the moment I try to package the distribution app, it picks up the local runtime instead of Jetbrains' one

[romainguy]

That Gradle file above works for me

[romainguy]

I also had to specifically add Skiko dependencies for packaging to work

[pablisco]

I tried packaging your project and I got the same error. What command do you use to package it?

[pablisco]

I'm using ./gradlew packageDistributionForCurrentOS

[romainguy]

I use packageReleaseDmg

[pablisco]

After removing all the JDks on my machine and installing only corretto.17 I'm still getting the same error 😭 (on kotlin-explorer)

[pablisco]

I've tried using jbr-sdk, but I get this error instead:

Error: --module-path is not specified and this runtime image does not contain jmods directory.
Usage: jlink <options> --module-path <modulepath> --add-modules <module>[,<module>...]
Use --help for a list of possible options

[romainguy]

I use the jbrsdk in the project, but it’s not my default Java SDK on my machine (Zulu 18)

[romainguy]

Here’s how the project is setup:

[pablisco]

but that shouldn't affect when running from command line, I imagine 🤔

[pablisco]

This is what I have. I'm still having the same issue regarding the missing JBR. 🙈

[romainguy]

Change the Gradle JVM to jbrsdk

[pablisco]

I've tried that and I get this error from jlink:

Error: --module-path is not specified and this runtime image does not contain jmods directory.
Usage: jlink <options> --module-path <modulepath> --add-modules <module>[,<module>...]
Use --help for a list of possible options

[pablisco]

let me try with 17.0.9 instead of 17.0.11 🤞

[pablisco]

OMFG, that was it.

[romainguy]

Ugh

[pablisco]

And it works on my project. Thank you so much for the help 🙏
