I have used Spyder (Anaconda) to generate a Python GUI App. The app can browse & load any time series csv file on the user's pc, perform few statistical tests and print the results on to a txt file and save it to the user's desktop screen.
Is it possible to upload the executable file on to any repository so that others could try it out. For example, Google Earth Engine based apps can be easily shared via a link and anyone with that link can access the app. Similarly, is there anything for my case ?
This may not be the answer your looking for,
But you can upload .exe to Google drive and share it. So anyone could download it from the link generated.
File types: Users can upload any type of file, including executables
(for example, .exe or .vbs) and compressed files.

Testers may have this issue for sure.
Assume that we have a testcase that should be automated. And it has a step to download a file from the webpage by clicking a link and it will be downloaded to our local machine’s download folder. As the next step it should be verified that the file is downloaded.
So in a local machine this can be handled easily by using the download paths and all. But the matter that I have is this exact same testcase is getting fail in Jenkins (cloud run). It returns a null value because the download directory cannot be found in Jenkins.
Do you guys know what kind of solution that can we take for this? I heard something using API request to download the file. Yes this file is also getting downloaded by a GET request with parameters. But I don’t know how to perform that.
Thanks for your time.
I tried the bellow options.
Changing the directory to Windows and Linux as per the documents
By using jenkins home directory
What I want to do?
to verify that the file is downloaded
Read the file and check with the db (This has existing methods)
I googled it and no help. I am making a program here people register and then they can download some indie games i am creating. But i am having problems with the download function. When i go to download the game / program i am getting a error saying i need a file extension here is the code i am trying
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yioya7ek0dq1r60/AABzT-98B4DWPdgv1edYC5SMa?dl=0", "C:\ProgramData\GamingcenterApp\games")
I need it to be like this because it is downloading a games folder that the gaming center will know it is installed so it can open the app.
Thanks GamingBlock
Let me explain what to do. DownloadFile downloads a file to your PC, and not a folder. Here is the fixed code:
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("C:\ProgramData\GamingcenterApp\games", "READ_ME.txt")
Folders are purposely not supposed to be downloaded by the DownloadFile call. I haven't tested your code but it could generate an exception.
Argument 1 is the file you want to download from the internet, and Arguement 2 is the file name. Not the directory you want it to download to. Also, You can't set the text in the .txt file by code. And of course this will generate an exception because I tested your code.
If this does not help, Simply comment on this answer and I will try to improve it.
I have a very particular case and I don't know if this is possible to be done.
I'm using NWJS to run a web app as a desktop app. I need to zip/package the source files because my code should not be available to eavesdroppers. This package will be delivered on a flash drive. And this is were my trouble begins.
There are a lot of .pdf file that must be shipped together with the package. The user can browse which pdf he wants to open, and when he clicks it, the pdf is "downloaded" to his pc. The content of the pdf is NOT available on the application. I have a list with the name of each pdf file.
If I zip/package the .pdf together with the source files it becomes a huge .nw file and it takes forever for my application to load. I need to mantain the pdf on a separate folder and they need to be accessible through the source code. This is easy if i run the application directly without packaging it, as nw uses the relative url to it's root, but when I do package nw uses a temp folder for the source files and I can't use relative url to access the pdf folder.
The only approach i can think of is to write a js script to identify where the flash drive was mounted but i don't know if this is possible.
I have to support Windows and Mac for this case.
Searching on NWJS google group i found that the answer was quite simple. These two lines returns the path where the nw bin is running. From there is quite simple to get the pdf folder.
var path = require("path");
pathstr = path.dirname(process.execPath);
I have designed an app for MacOSX. Its function is to manipulate PDf files.
First the user would import files "in" the app.
After manipulating the files, the files are saved and kept in the library.
Actually, it is exactly the concept of Library of iTunes. You have files inside and you don't bother where they are located. It is better if the user do not have to select any folder in the system.
My question is : Where do I write my files on the disk?
I know I have to write it in a specific place but I can't figure out where. I tried in the App Bundle but I read somewhere we can not with sandboxing and indeed it didn't work.
I know I can write my preferences in my NSUserDefaults. Can I write any files there?
You can store the files in the application support directory. Use NSFileManager to locate it as described here: URLsForDirectory
And read the sandbox documentation for further details.
So I currently have a script that works just fine with one problem. Whenever I publish it as a ClickOnce application, it has to be installed on the users computer before it can be used, and the the files I have specified to run if the user provides a valid login are showing up in the local APPDATA files.
I feel like there has to be a better way to publish my application. I want the 4 files ( a .swf that will run with flash, a bat file to run those, and a .vbs script that runs the bat file in the background so it doesn't pop up) to be included in the project, but to be written into the resulting binary files, not in their original form so the source is freely available.
Anyone have a suggestion?
