> I think ~/.cache is a good place :-) Yes, I do agree. I'm not saying at all that u-a-l shouldn't look into this. Just that it needs to fall back to looking into the click package dir if there is no cached symlink.
> and would delay starting up of legacy apps How would that be? If there's no symlink in ~/.cache/ the startup currently does not work at all. With a fallback to pkgdir it would work, just a tad slower (that's why we have the cache). But again, you can't rely that all user's ~/.cache/ directories are accessible at the time of installing a click (that's the use case that doesn't affect current phone so much, but convergence, so is low-prio), but the issue which *does* affect the phone is installing a click and trying to start it in the current session (as the upstart hook doesn't run then). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Application Launcher. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1333215 Title: "Unable to find keyfile for application": Does not look for .desktop files in click pkgdir Status in Ubuntu Application Launcher: Incomplete Status in “click” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “ubuntu-app-launch” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: For testing/autopkgtest I want/need to run click apps and their tests in a schroot or container, as the turnaround with real phones and the emulator is way too large. But in a container, ubuntu-app-launch fails with $ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator` ** (process:766): WARNING **: Unable to find keyfile for application 'com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283' init: application-legacy (com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283-1403523098604203) pre-start process (770) terminated with status 1 In strace I see that it looks for the .desktop file in the following locations: /home/ubuntu/.cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop /home/ubuntu/.local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop /usr/local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop /usr/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop but not in the click dir: $ click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@all/com.ubuntu.calculator The workaround is to create the symlink manually, then it works: $ ln -s `click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator`/*.desktop .cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/`ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`.desktop $ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator` But that's certainly not something that autopkgtest should do.
