Appimage build was probably disabled in commit 41b1e88

So a conscious decision was made by the project to remove support for appimage?

No, since it's available in the Insiders version (https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium-insiders/releases/tag/1.93.0.24242-insider)
While there is an error when building 1.92 (https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/actions/runs/10674103243/job/29584298631#step:9:1342, runned yesterday)

I noticed AppImages are back in 1.93.1.24256 so I'm closing this issue.

No AppImage build again, last two releases not included, last build with an AppImage was https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/tag/1.93.1.24256 could this be fixed please??

I ran again into an error: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/actions/runs/11219168014/job/31185291778

It's a recurrent issue with pkg2appimage since we can't specify a version of the packager.
The error is due to that it has determined that /__w/vscodium/vscodium/build/linux/appimage/VSCodium/VSCodium.AppDir/usr/share/codium/resources/app/node_modules/rc/index.js is of architecture armhf??? It's a javascript file...
So it's require an extra config ARCH=x86_64 because it can't detect correctly a js file as non-binary.
It might get fixed with the next release of pkg2appimage.

@daiyam That should be solvable by just setting the ENV, no?

export ARCH=x86_64

in

build/linux/appimage/build.sh

I tried it and was able to build an appimage:

https://github.com/KnowZero/vscodium/releases

Ya, surely. But I don't like this workaround.
Outside the fact that detecting a Javascript to be an armhf binary file is bogus, I really would like to be able to specify a version for pkg2appimage.

Edit: Sorry about being a bit cheeky...
