exit code 6

Hi I'm trying to create appimage from py_installer ( not one file ) result

Everything works except this step. The debug doesn't show any message in this step.

py_installer dist folder

dist
|- myapp  # Copy this to appimage/usr/bin/myapp
|- lib/_internal # Copy whole directory to appimage/usr/lib

appimage folder

appimage
|- AppRun
|- usr
    |- bin
        |- myapp
    |- lib
    |- share
        |- applications/myapp.desktop
        |- icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/myapp.png

appimage/AppRun

#!/bin/bash
HERE="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "${0}")")"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HERE/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
exec "$HERE/usr/bin/myapp" "$@"

Run

# I need to export here, AppRun export doesn't work when building
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="appimage/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage \
   --appdir "appimage" \
   --output appimage \
   -v0 \
   --desktop-file "appimage/usr/share/applications/myapp.desktop" \
   --icon-file "appimage/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/myapp.png"

output

-- Running output plugin: appimage -- 
[appimage/stderr] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
[appimage/stderr]   what():  exec() failed: Transport endpoint is not connected
ERROR: Failed to run plugin: appimage (exit code: 6)

Have you tried running the AppImage output plugin separately? It looks like a FUSE issue in some containerized environment at a first glance. I'm not sure how to reproduce this.

Please also increase the verbosity: -v0.

Any documentation for this, it's my first time packaging Appimage

It looks like a FUSE issue in some containerized environment at a first glance. I'm not sure how to reproduce this.

It running by default inside python virtualenv. I try also deactivate virtualenv but same error.

Please also increase the verbosity: -v0.

I always run using -v0 , I didn't see any meaningful error

I check on forum it might be the issue with static path, not sure why there is /usr/tmp in here

$ strings appimage/usr/bin/myapp | grep /usr
/usr/tmp

You can run the plugin that is included in the AppImage by extracting linuxdeploy (by running it with --appimage-extract), then running the linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage binary in there against your AppDir.

So this one works , the appimage generated and can be run ? So what is the cause ?
