To use the app built from source, you will need to have your own GitHub app credentials for it (or lift these from a bloop binary bundle).

You can configure the app through using the --config-file= parameter to the bloop.exe binary, with the file containing something along the lines of (up until 0.4.14):

  {"github_client_id": "XXXXX"}

Note that as of 0.4.15, a the configuration has changed, and will require a different set of settings, and it's best to reference the binary distribution for what these are.

Why is this step not required for downloaded version? I still don't know how to operate that

[boquanzhou]

Is that what you're talking about?

[rsdy]

Correct, this is one file you can use, and I think it will make it into the bundle. For the binary version we already set up the configs during the CI process, so you don't need to deal with this.

None of these values are particularly secret, but we kindly ask that you to create your own configuration if you decide to build yourself, as we cannot support or help with debugging if you make local modifications.

[boquanzhou]

I did this, but after the compilation, I still had the same problem as before.

[boquanzhou]

Who can help me solve this problem?

[rsdy]

Can you please go through what steps and exact commands you used to build?

[boquanzhou]

I just use npm run start-app to start the app, and I follow your advice to put the config under src-tauri

[boquanzhou]

It failed

You can now build and run bloop from source without providing these credentials. Instructions here: https://github.com/BloopAI/bloop?tab=readme-ov-file#building-from-source
