[conda] Missing entry points for custom conda package in constructor

[Brad Buran]

I've been testing the constructor for creating some installers to simplify
the process for end-users. I'm using https://github.com/bburan/abr as my
test-case. I am able to successfully build a conda package using the
attached meta.yaml file. I then create a new environment with this package:

conda create --name abr-test --use-local abr

Then, I activate this environment:

conda activate abr-test

Once activated, I have access to the two entry points (which show up in
miniconda3/envs/abr-test/bin):

abr_gui
abr_loop

Now, the next step is to create an installer that installs a self-contained
version of Python on other computers. Using the attached construct.yaml
file, I am able to successfully build the installer and run it. However,
abr_gui and abr_loop are missing from ~/abr-analysis/bin (where the
installer saved the files)! If I CD to ~/abr-analysis/bin and start the
python interpreter, e.g.:

# in terminal
cd ~/abr-analysis/bin
./python

# inside python
from abr.app import cmd_main
cmd_main.main()

This successfully opens the GUI. So, given that my conda package works just
fine and creates an abr_gui and abr_loop entry-points when creating a new
conda environment, why are they missing from the bin folder in the
installer? Am I missing something obvious?

Thank you!
Brad

I wasn't able to reproduce this on linux-64. Are you using macOS? Please
file an issue at https://github.com/conda/constructor/ and also mention the
version of constructor you are using.


Cheers!
