Check if PyQt Program is starting in Codeberg CI
Today I got a bug report that one of my programs is not starting. The reason for this is simple: My programs are installed as Python packages.
If you use data files, inside a Python package with setuptools, you need to tell setuptools to include the packages. I use a file called MANIFEST.in
for that.
I had included some new datafiles, but I forgot to add the new files to the MANIFEST.in
. I usually start the my Programs directly from the source directory during development, so I don't noticed the Issue, as my source directory
had of course the datafiles. I just forgot to test, if the package is working correctly before making a new Release, which was totally my fault. As a consequence I needed to make sure that this doesn't happen again using the CI.
