[Windows] Cannot build stable releaes e.g. 5.2.1 - documentation should be updated

Describe the bug

Hi Team,
While following official documentation, at the Windows Build The Desktop App Step, I have the option to select a branch to be built.

The example on the documentation does not work:

`You can find the git checkout in C:\CraftRoot\downloads\git\owncloud\owncloud-client. There you can use the usual git commands to switch branches and remotes, e.g., to build the 5.2 stable branch you can use craft with --set version parameter:

git checkout 5.2
craft --set version=5.2 owncloud-client`

Can you please advise on how should I do to build a stable release instead of the master release?

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to change to stable release to build it.
The master release when I built, the .exe gets generated, but when I run it on the logs show the below, so I wanted to build a stable release:

ownCloud 6.0.0-git d872c3 Bibliotecas Qt 6.7.0, OpenSSL 3.2.1 30 Jan 2024 Usando o plug-in de arquivos virtuais: suffix OS: windows-10.0.19045 (build arch: x86_64, CPU arch: x86_64) QPA: windows ownCloud

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Follow the build documentation from Windows
2. On the "Build The Desktop App", sub step:
   You can find the git checkout in C:\CraftRoot\downloads\git\owncloud\owncloud-client. There you can use the usual git commands to switch branches and remotes, e.g., to build the 5.2 stable branch you can use craft with --set version parameter:

git checkout 5.2
craft --set version=5.2 owncloud-client

3. When I run the below, I get the error:
   craft --configure --make --install
   craft owncloud-client

Please follow the steps described in https://github.com/owncloud/ownbuild/blob/master/README.md
We have to decide what will happen to the other doc

Thanks for the help Hannah. I was able to use the ownbuild.py.
I was able to generate the same build with the same problem, although...

Now, I was able to change and start the build process to the latest stable branch, by running the following command:

py.exe ownbuild.py --branch 5 --target windows-cl-msvc2022-x86_64 -- --set revision=v5.2.1 owncloud-client

But after a while compiling, I got the following:

PS C:\CraftRoot> py.exe  ownbuild.py --branch 5  --target windows-cl-msvc2022-x86_64 -- --set revision=v5.2.1 owncloud-client

Those files exists and look good. Am I missing something here? I just wanted to build a clean latest release from scratch

Thanks for all your help.

Hopefully you can help me here.

Can you try to perform the first call without any args and once it succeeded try the --set call?

[gitrpbrme]

Can you try to perform the first call without any args and once it succeeded try the --set call?

With no args, it doesn't run:

PS C:\CraftRoot> py.exe  ownbuild.py  owncloud-client

Target windows-msvc2019_64-cl is not a valid target. Valid targets are ['windows-cl-msvc2022-x86_64', 'windows-cl-msvc2022-x86_64-debug']
Failed to setup craft

So I have to at least set the target (with the master branch it builds successfully, but I have the same error at runtime - trayicon doesn't show and show the error on the logs):

Hi,
In summary, I was able to create a build without --set call.

Afterwards, I tried with the --set arguments, it failed at

Last but not least, I now tried to run the build again without --set call, now it gives me the last error all the time.
The only way is to remove craftroot folder and reinstall.

Have you ever faced this while setting up the Craft package and setting up a build?

[TheOneRing]

It appears you are mixing a Craft setup with a ownBuild setup.
While Craft is used in any case its not supported to run ownBuild from inside a craft environment.
Please use a fresh terminal window with a clean environment.

It appears you are mixing a Craft setup with a ownBuild setup. While Craft is used in any case its not supported to run ownBuild from inside a craft environment. Please use a fresh terminal window with a clean environment.

Indeed I was doing wrong with ownbuild.py, so I've setup a new folder to run it.

The latest release still doesn't run the .exe, same error as in the beginning so I guess it's something to do with my build environment (Win10 X64).

By running the command below, the only thing that doesn't get generated is the owncloud.exe file 😔

Not sure if I'm missing to run anything afterwards.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

[owncloud/owncloud-client]
revision=v5.2.1

If I run without the --set revision, it builds properly.
However, when I run the owncloud.exe, it gives me the error popup:

Some settings were configured in newer versions of this client and use features that are not available in this version

So, bottom line, still not possible to generate a latest stable release from my side.

• If I use the Linux, can I generate the .exe files?
• Should I use a Windows 11 installation as maybe craft and etc it's not compatible with Win10?

You need to run it from the terminal in the craft environment.
If you want that it runs stand alone, you need to build an installer and use that installer.
