Where does linuxdeployqt.AppImage come from?

I get below error messages when running npx nodegui-packer --pack dist in nodegui-starter repo.

...
Error: spawn /home/soonoo/dev/nodegui-starter/node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.5/bin/linuxdeployqt.AppImage ENOENT

I have to manually download linuxdeployqt executable from its repository and copy it to node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.5/bin/ before packing.
Is this intended?

System information:
OS: Arch Linux with kernel version 5.2.14
Node: 12.10.0
npm: 6.11.3

Happens to me too on linux mint, got some errors about permissions, so i think it just doesnt download because of that, solved the same way...

No its not intended :/ . Seems like a bug.

The latest version can always be downloaded from https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/releases/tag/continuous.

I got the following:

running linuxdeployqt

      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

  path: '/home/einar/Projects/react-nodegui-starter/node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.6/bin/linuxdeployqt.AppImage',
  spawnargs: [
    'qode',
    '-verbose=2',
    '-unsupported-bundle-everything',
    '-appimage',
    '-qmake=/home/einar/Projects/react-nodegui-starter/node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.6/bin/qmake'
  ]
}

So what I had to do was to go into node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.6/bin/ and rename linuxdeployqt to linuxdeployqt.AppImage. Then it worked.

Thanks for reporting @einarpersson

closing this as packer now downloads it if required automatically
