I tried to use gradle packageMsi in my GitHub Action pipeline. Unfortunately I fail with this error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':packageMsi'.
> Process 'command 'C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\jdk\14.0.2\x64\bin\jpackage.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I used this runs-on OS:

Virtual Environment
  Environment: windows-2019
  Version: 20201210.0

No output? Try --info or --verbose

Just to make sure... Does the build machine (to which C:\Users\RUNNER... relates) have WiX Toolset 3.0 or later installed?

[xetra11]

@Thomas hm I think this should be all handled by the gradle packageMsi build doesn't it? Since on my local machine I never installed WiX as well and it works there and on all other windows 10 systems I tried it out

[xetra11]

The only difference to the GitHub Action pipeline is that the pipeline is using:

Environment: windows-2019

[xetra11]

I might open an issue - maybe windows-2019 is not supported by packageMsi yet (wild guessing)

[Thomas]

Was just wondering because the Oracle docs regarding jpackage (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/14/jpackage/packaging-overview.html#GUID-C1027043-587D-418D-8188-EF8F44A4C06A) state in section Packaging Pre-Preps: "WiX 3.0 or later is required.". On any local build on Windows machines (without GitHub actions) that tool must be present. Have not tried with GitHub Actions, though. Best of luck.

I see

@Thomas however it seems the packageMsi task does download it tho

Oh, I see. I am afraid I have no further ideas here. Maybe one last wild idea... If you have admin access to your virtual environment, install WixToolset on your own and see if this helps. ...still, might make things worse, too. So, am reluctant to really suggest. Again, best of luck

[xetra11]

thanks for taking time anyway! Well I can't access the stuff since it's all in a build pipeline of github - maybe I just open an issue

[Thomas]

You are welcome. Sorry, for a moment confused GitHub and GitLab. 😎 Guess opening an issue is best.
