Error after compilation - Unable to find time zone "Europe/Budapest". Try running TimeZones.build()

[JakubPorubcansky]

I am trying to compile this minimal example package to an app

TestPackage.jl

module TestPackage

using TimeZones

function julia_main()::Cint
  try
    @info "Start"
    sleep(3)
    timeZone = TimeZone("Europe/Budapest")
    @info "timeZone=$timeZone"
    sleep(3)
    @info "Finish"
  catch exc
    @error "Something went wrong" exception=(exc, catch_backtrace())
    return 1
  end
  return 0
end

end # module

However, when running the app, it gives the following error:

To compile the app I run Docker build using the following Dockerfile

Dockerfile

FROM julia:1.7.3-bullseye AS builder

RUN dpkg-reconfigure dash && \
    apt-get update && \
    apt-get dist-upgrade -y

RUN apt-get -y install \
    build-essential

COPY . TestPackage

RUN julia --project=TestPackage -e "using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); Pkg.precompile();"

RUN julia -e "using Pkg; \
              pkg\"add PackageCompiler\"; \
              using PackageCompiler; \
              create_app(\"TestPackage\", \"app\")"

ENTRYPOINT ["/app/bin/TestPackage"]

Related to #359. Having #390 would address your issue but not in the way you want as I'm sure you want all the application building to take place during the Docker image build and not at runtime.

[omus]

The answer to this is to make TimeZones.jl fully relocatable which requires us to make the artifact package which will finally close #359

[omus]

As of PR #441 this package uses precomputed time zones artifacts. Included in TimeZones release 1.12
