Resources glob pattern error | Tauri Apps | Page 1

I'm trying a workaround solution to bundle dynamic libraries with my app until this issue is resolved: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/6802. I have a script that places all the libraries in the src-tauri directory, then in the tauri.conf.json's bundle section I've added

"resources": [
    "*.{so,dylib,dll}"
]

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to recognize this pattern and can't find any files. Does it not use glob patterns?

Note that they have to be placed in the src-tauri directory and not src-tauri/nativelibs (some subfolder) because on Windows the .dll files need to be next to the .exe file, not in a subfolder. Unfortunately, tauri doesn't seem to allow choosing the directory the resource should end up in. I would also be ok if someone could figure out how to add the subfolder to the windows PATH variable when running the tauri app.

Not the {} part, /*/ and *.so should work (not actually 100% sure about the last part)

That depends on what needs it. Your tauri/rust app itself? No chance afaik.
A sidecar? somewhat easy since the Commands have a env api.

Unfortunately I can’t use a sidecar because there’s no executable I need, it’s just dylibs. If sidecars didn’t try to append a .exe it would work

i meant whatever needs those dlls

#

if it's the sidecar needing them then you could set the $PATH for the sidecar

#

but for the main app that's not possible afaik because there must be some kind of "parent" process setting the $PATH for the exe.

Then I guess I should make Github Actions run a script that modifies the glob pattern in the tauri.conf.json for every os?

I did this and it seemed to work. But I still see this as an issue. Do you think I should add this as a feature request on github?
