I have an android project named SimpleVideoEditor, and I would like to submit it into F-Droid. So I was following this CONTRIBUTING.md tutorial by F-Droid. Now in the building-it subsection, they say
Make sure that `fdroid lint app.id` doesn't report any warnings. If it does, fix them.
So I tried $ fdroid lint com.fahimfarhan.simplevideoeditor
and it gave me this error:
com.fahimfarhan.simplevideoeditor: Build generated by `fdroid import` - remove disable line once ready
At first I didnot even know that this is an error and so I submitted my app. But later I got an Email that says my build failed. So I am trying to fix it. What does this error even mean? I don't understand how to fix this issue. I did Google but the search result doesnot make any sense. Sorry for not including anything else because this is all I have. I am confused. Could anyone help me?
I found the fix to this problem.
Their must be a line inside build in your yaml
file which might be something like this.
disable: Generated by import.py - check/set version fields and commit id
You have to remove this line and then you will pass all the lint errors. Your builds list should look something like this.
Builds:
- versionName: '2.0'
versionCode: 2
commit: commitId
subdir: app
gradle:
- yes
The auto generated looks something like this -
Builds:
- versionName: '2.0'
versionCode: 2
disable: Generated by import.py - check/set version fields and commit id
commit: '?'
subdir: app
gradle:
- yes
Remove the disable line and add the commit and you will be good to go.
