Build environment, yarn install fails when rsync is not available #14361
Description
Operating system
Linux
Joplin version
3.6.2
Desktop version info
No response
Current behaviour
I am trying to set up a Joplin build environment on a clean Debian Linux machine, using the instructions on https://joplinapp.org/help/dev/BUILD/ and sources from joplin-3.6.2.tar.gz
When running 'yarn install' in the source folder that I've extracted from, it fails.
➤ YN0007: │ root@workspace:. must be built because it never has been before or the last one failed
➤ YN0009: │ root@workspace:. couldn't be built successfully (exit code 1, logs can be found here: /tmp/xfs-c2496434/build.log)
When I look into the build.log, I find the following error:
[joplin]: [16:39:31] Error: Code: 127: Command failed: rsync -a --delete --exclude "node_modules" "/home/joplin/joplin-3.6.2/packages/app-cli/app/" "/home/joplin/joplin-3.6.2/packages/app-cli/build/"
[joplin]: /bin/sh: 1: rsync: not found
Expected behaviour
I would expect either
- rsync be included as a requirements in the Joplin build instructions
- receiving a clear error message when rsync does exists
