I have in my package a script named 'postflight'. It appears in the
Contents/Resources directory of the package. It has the executable
bits set. It is a Ruby script, with the first line being #! /usr/bin/
env ruby .
Whenever I try the installer, the only error appearing in the log is
this:
<date> <hostname> : Install failed: The following install step
failed: run postflight script for <myPackageName>
The postflight script indeed has had none of its intended effects,
even when I reduce it to deleting the installed payload. I have lots
of debugging prints (both to stdout and stderr), but nothing from the
script — nor prints, not scripting errors — shows up in the install
log or the console.
The task is to take a target directory installed in /Users/Shared,
recursively set the ownership of a subdirectory to ENV['USER'] ($USER
for shell fans), and move the subdirectory to ~/Library/Application\
Support, if such a folder does not already exist. It then deletes the
wrapper directory from /Users/Shared.
The script runs correctly in the command line, from within the pkg,
and returns 0.
What am I doing wrong?
