❌ Test failure

@brcampidelli: this pull request adds the AppImage from your GitHub repository to the AppImage catalog; the test reports the following. Could you have a look?

Compatibility: not self-contained: uses the C library of the system; references glibc 2.39

• A file inside the AppImage is not executable. Please check the file permissions before packaging the AppImage.
• The application quit or crashed right after starting. The error below usually shows why.

First error in the log:

/run/firejail/appimage/AppRun: line 12: /run/firejail/appimage/AppRun.wrapped: Permission denied

The application showed no window, but may be a system tray application (usr/lib/libappindicator3.so.1: libappindicator3.so.1); running it again with a system tray
/run/firejail/appimage/AppRun: line 12: /run/firejail/appimage/AppRun.wrapped: Permission denied
No icon appeared in the system tray either
ERROR: The application exited within 11 seconds instead of showing a window

What next: once the AppImage is fixed (e.g. in a new release), comment /retest here to test it again. If it should not be in the catalog after all, close this pull request; an app that is already in the catalog can be removed by a maintainer with /remove.

Thanks for picking Chimera up! Two notes on the failed test.

The glibc 2.39 floor was real: our Linux build ran on ubuntu-latest. Since v0.68.0 the AppImage is built on Ubuntu 22.04 (glibc 2.35).

On the AppRun.wrapped: Permission denied: inside the image both AppRun and AppRun.wrapped are -rwxr-xr-x. AppRun is the stock linuxdeploy wrapper (plugin-gtk hook, then exec "$this_dir"/AppRun.wrapped), and the image starts outside firejail. Is there something in how the test's firejail runs linuxdeploy's AppRun that we should change on our side?

❌ Test failure

Tested:

• Chimera_0.68.0_amd64.AppImage from release v0.68.0

Compatibility: not self-contained: uses the C library of the system; references glibc 2.35

Names:

WARNING: File name 'chimera-agent': the README writes the name with blanks ('chimera agent'); use _ instead of - (e.g. 'chimera_agent'), as blanks in a name become _

Notes:

• File name 'chimera-agent': all-lowercase names are typically used for command line tools, but the desktop file does not set Terminal=true. If this is a graphical application, please name the file after the application as it is spelled, with capitals where it has them (e.g. 'Krita'); if it is a command line tool, set Terminal=true in its desktop file.

• The application did not open a window within 30 seconds. It must show its main window when started without arguments.

• Please check the remarks about the names below.

First error in the log:

ERROR: Could not find a single window on screen :-(

What next: once the AppImage is fixed (e.g. in a new release), comment /retest here to test it again. If it should not be in the catalog after all, close this pull request; an app that is already in the catalog can be removed by a maintainer with /remove.

v0.68.1 is out: v0.68.0's backend failed to start (a module the freeze left out), which is why no window appeared. The release now starts the frozen backend before it ships.

✅ Test passed

Please check that the screenshot shows the application's main window.

Warnings:

• Please check the remarks about the names below.
• The AppImage contains no update information, so users cannot update it with AppImageUpdate or similar tools. Please consider embedding it when building the AppImage (e.g., appimagetool -u) and publishing the .zsync file next to the AppImage; see https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/optional/updates.html

Test passed, thanks! On the naming note: please feel free to rename the catalog entry from chimera-agent to Chimera. That is the application's name as it appears on its window and its desktop file; chimera-agent is only the repository name.
