rustdesk-server build with github actions not working

[twprh]

Many thanks to the creators of Rustdesk – it's a really great piece of software.

However, for several months now, the Rustdesk server has not been compiling properly. It would be really good if someone could at least get the build working again using GitHub Actions.

Many thanks!!!

Which builds you mean? Last release was 1.1.14 in January, hence last builds triggered on GitHub Actions was in January as well, and succeeded: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/actions/workflows/build.yaml

So you are probably asking for a new release?

[twprh]

The last commit was on 22 November. I would like to test this status.
However, a build via the actions is currently not possible.

[MichaIng]

Last commit does not mean release, and does not trigger the build workflow. So you mean on your fork, the build workflow fails with the latest commit? Check whether the reason might be some step that depends on the correct repo orga/owner, or some secret/variable that it not available in your case.

Would you be able to give us another hint, I'm not sure what I'm missing.

I deleted my fork, created a new one and changed one line for rendezvous_server.rs to enable renaming

Even this action fails, please note I never used any secrets in the past and it compiled fine.

test action
Update rendezvous_server.rs

fmt (failed)

This is just a code format suggestion by the Rust lint tools, no actual code error. Same happens here on the repo: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/actions/runs/19592252058/job/56112062635

More problematic are the compile errors: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/actions/runs/19592252058/job/56112062643

I suggest you do not try to compile the master branch state, but the code of the latest release tag: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/tree/1.1.14

[VamPikmin]

Thank you for that. I will try to work out how to dk that

[VamPikmin]

Tried the latest release tag like you suggested but the build - windows fails

Error: This request has been automatically failed because it uses a deprecated version of actions/upload-artifact: v3. Learn more: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-04-16-deprecation-notice-v3-of-the-artifact-actions/

[MichaIng]

That is just the workflow, does not affect manual cargo builds. If you want to use the workflow, you need to update the actions/upload-artifact action:

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/blob/1.1.14/.github/workflows/build.yaml#L68

(there is another call) => v6 is available: https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact/releases

[VamPikmin]

Thanks so much for trying to help. Even after modifying the upload and download artifacts with v6 the windows build still fails with the same message. I am using the latest tag in the build.

When I try to compile on Ubuntu manually it does work but I can't use the hbbs executable compiled here in a docker container, do you know why that's the case?
So in the past I would pull the latest docker image and replace the executable with the github actions one (amd64) and run it like that

I might be over-complicating things but that's what worked before.
