Build error: OSError while trying to execute sudo ... No such file or directory: 'sudo'

[harr1424]

I am first time contributor following the documentation to build my app before creating a merge request. When executing fdroid build --on-server com.example I receive the following error: Could not build app com.harr1424.listmaker: OSError while trying to execute sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive bash -x -c ... [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sudo'

My metadata file is as follows:

My metadata file’s sudo section follows the documentation, can anyone explain what might be causing this error?

Builds fine, update https://github.com/harr1424/ListMaker/blob/v2.1/app/build.gradle#L21-L22 and retag

OSError while trying to execute sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive bash -x -c … [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘sudo’

Guess: You don’t have sudo installed, or sudo options are not as assumed by documentation.

[Licaon_Kter]

--on-server is not a current option so maybe it’s an old fdroidserver

that being said, on-server needs a VM via vagrant or libvirt, which one do you have?

It appears more like you run this directly in a VM or on bare metal? If so then remove --on-server

[harr1424]

The documentation was correct, and @Licaon_Kter provided a solution. The version name in source code did not match what was provided in metadata.

Oh, I thought you’ve just replaced that when posting here
