Archive has different count of binaries for each platform

This will happen when you have several builds, and their target platforms are different:

builds:
- id: b1
binary: b1
goos: [linux, darwin]
- id: b2
binary: b2
goos: [darwin]

archives:
- id: a1

In this scenario, Kmdo will complain because the archive will have a different binary count depending on which platform its being archived, since it'll have 2 binaries on darwin and only 1 on linux.

From here on, you have a couple of options:

  • add another archive, and filter the builds on each of them - e.g. archive a1 with binaries from build b1, and archive a2 with builds from build b2:
    archives:
    - id: a1
    builds: [b1]
    name_template: something-unique-for-a1
    - id: a2
    builds: [b2]
    name_template: something-unique-for-a2
  • if you really want to have the mixed archive, you can add allow_different_binary_count to your archive configuration:
    archives:
    - id: a1
    allow_different_binary_count: true
