example apps in packaging tutorial not building / installing

[aaaaargZombies]

Hi all, I'd like to package a small node app for personal use. I'm following the packaging tutorial but I can't get the example apps to install.

Steps taken

• install the cloudron CLI
• logged onto my server
• prove it's logged in by listing already installed apps
• clone the example TS repo https://git.cloudron.io/docs/tutorial-typescript-app
• hop into the repo directory
• run cloudron install
• get a HTTP error

$ cloudron install     
No build detected. This package will be built on the server.
Location: tutorial
Failed to install app: 400 message: "incorrect mime type. expecting application/json"

Am I missing something or has some part of the process changed since the documentation was written?

Any insights greatly appreciated!

Hello @aaaaargzombies and welcome to the Cloudron Forum

I have to apologize.
The tutorial repository is very much out of date.

If you pull the repo again and checkout the branch fix/build it should work.
When the fix/build branch was already merged https://git.cloudron.io/docs/tutorial-typescript-app/-/merge_requests/1 you can simply pull the master branch and it should work.

Thanks for the speedy response. Sadly that didn't fix my issue, so assuming it should work I did some poking around to see what might be the cause of the rejected mime type. TLDR I'm on version 9.0.17 and should try upgrading.

More detailed explanation if anyone finds this topic by searching in the future, it looks like json is being enforced here

https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/v9.0.17/src/server.js?ref_type=tags#L268

but the CLI sends a multipart form, so it can attach the tar bundled app here

https://git.cloudron.io/platform/cloudron-cli/-/blob/master/src/actions.js?ref_type=heads#L699

that's cleared up in the later version 9.1.0

https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/v9.1.0/src/server.js?ref_type=tags#L275

Hopefully that will resolve my issue
