Hi all, i've created the script below which i hope can be useful for others
If you find this sort of thing useful i'd be happy to clean the code
import subprocess
import os
import os.path
REMOVED_DIR = "removed"
os.chdir("../dist/your-application")
print(f"{os.getcwd()=}")
if not os.path.isdir(REMOVED_DIR):
os.mkdir(REMOVED_DIR)
# These files are used after the application has been started, so are not
detected by our call to subprocess.run
PROTECTED_FILES = ["libQt6Multimedia.so.6", "libQt6Svg.so.6"]
all_files_in_base_dir = os.listdir(os.getcwd())
selected_so_files_in_base_dir = [fn for fn in all_files_in_base_dir if
".so" in fn and fn not in PROTECTED_FILES]
for filename in selected_so_files_in_base_dir:
cur_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), filename)
new_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), REMOVED_DIR, filename)
os.rename(cur_path, new_path)
try:
shell_result = subprocess.run(
"./your-application",
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, timeout=2)
# If we get here it means the application didn't start, so we need
the file, and therefore move it back
os.rename(new_path, cur_path)
print(f"+++++ We need this file: '{filename}' --- so it has been
moved back to the base dir")
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
print(f"----- We don't need this file: '{filename}' --- so it has
been moved to the '{REMOVED_DIR}' dir")
Here is a link to the source for my own project, this file is more messy
though:
