How to change the final bundle name?

[SamuelC0507]

Hi guys, can we change the final bundle (e.g. the MSI file on Windows) name in any place? Like to use a different name other than the productName specified in tauri.conf.json, or don't include the version and language of the app?

I have no problem changing the name afterwards manually though, just wondering if there's already a place to configure this?

You have to rename it yourself. And to be honest i'm not sure if something like this will ever be implemented in the cli 🤔

Got it thanks!

There is a problem. The "productName" is used also for the installer title and executable in the installer. But those are usually should be different.

Executable usually has a shortened name. But installer title should contain full name of the package, otherwise it looks ugly. So some kind of separate bundleName or executableName variable is still required.

I agree with @iDm1

It would be nice to have something like afterBuildCommand hook similar to beforeBuildCommand

@FabianLars on Mac, when you build an app, the bundler does not add version number and platform name to the final file name for updater in release > bundle > macos
I have to manually rename PasteBar.app.tar.gz and PasteBar.app.tar.gz.sig to PasteBar_0.2.3_aarch64.app.tar.gz and PasteBar_0.2.3_aarch64.app.tar.gz.sig. This does not happen when building for Windows.

FWIW, for anyone already using tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0, it's a one line change and it's working great for us:

  uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0
  with:
    ...
+   assetNamePattern: "[name]-[arch][ext]"
