Possible Solution

Change the fixed hash in the flake.nix

Quality Notice

• I have checked the issue tracker and verified that this bug is a unique case.

I've forked it locally, and changed the SHA-256 and it's still complaining, I don't have any clue

[TibixDev]

Can you check with v0.8.3? I triggered the workflow manually for now.

[EliasBorrajo]

@0kenx Could maybe have a fix for that ? He is the one who hardcoded the sha256 value into the repo.

same issue, I've already forked it locally, and tried to change it myself, and same problem

I used my own script, you can try it / learn from it, it built for me:

{ pkgs, ... }:
let
  pname = "winboat";
  version = "0.8.3";

  src = pkgs.fetchurl {
    url = "https://github.com/TibixDev/winboat/releases/download/v${version}/winboat-${version}-x86_64.AppImage";
    hash = "sha256-TnlkA4EZGj8FdCloVeMYC0XvVULYcbiePQD9zSOcQsk=";
  };
  appimageContents = pkgs.appimageTools.extract { inherit pname version src; };
in
pkgs.appimageTools.wrapType2 {
  inherit pname version src;
  pkgs = pkgs;
  extraInstallCommands = ''
    install -m 444 -D ${appimageContents}/${pname}.desktop -t $out/share/applications
    substituteInPlace $out/share/applications/${pname}.desktop \
      --replace 'Exec=AppRun' 'Exec=${pname}'
    cp -r ${appimageContents}/usr/share/icons $out/share

    # unless linked, the binary is placed in $out/bin/cursor-someVersion
    # ln -s $out/bin/${pname}-${version} $out/bin/${pname}
  '';

  extraBwrapArgs = [
    "--bind-try /etc/nixos/ /etc/nixos/"
  ];

  # vscode likes to kill the parent so that the
  # gui application isn't attached to the terminal session
  dieWithParent = false;

  extraPkgs =
    pkgs: with pkgs; [
      unzip
      autoPatchelfHook
      asar
      # override doesn't preserve splicing https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/132651
      (buildPackages.wrapGAppsHook.override { inherit (buildPackages) makeWrapper; })
    ];
}

And then You can add this as import at the top of the file you want to install the package in:

{ pkgs, ... }:
let
  winboat = import ../../pkgs/winboat { inherit pkgs; };
in
{

on the function itself:

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs;
    winboat
  ];

He made a workflow specifically for updating that hash, which I have ran after publishing v0.8.3, so something else must be the issue.

[TibixDev]

Hey, is this issue still present?

[Nycz-lab]

@TibixDev i still wasnt able to build it due to hash mismatches

[NIKOSTERs]

Something still wrong with hashes, managed to fix it by cloning repository and replacing hash in flake.nix to sha256-UdzRw3dpggI4aF9DTrrBo9J1dn2tYcY7cQMrMIf51gI=
Be sure to clone not latest, but v0.8.5
