[feat] firendly error output when make nsis bundle on linux but got (os error 2)

[LemonNekoGH]

Describe the problem

I am using tauri cli 1.5.11, i always get Error failed to bundle project: No such file or directory (os error 2) when i build nsis bundle on linux, i don't know why, then i found a issue #6743 about this error, so i think my tauri version is too low, but after i upgraded to 2.0.0-beta.9, this error still exist.

I am so confused, so i debug the tauri cli line by line, i found my binary file name is not nsis needs, just because my package.productionName is BDSM but nsis needs bdsm, the error occoured at:

tauri/tooling/bundler/src/bundle/windows/nsis.rs

Line 636 in d349558

let mut size = metadata(main)?.len();

Here is the error log:

Describe the solution you'd like

I think, can we provide which file name caused No such file or directory like this:

cannot get metadata for /app/src-tauri/target/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/release/bdsm.exe: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }

The issue you linked was fixed before the first nsis release so i doubt it's related.

Is the output you posted with the --verbose flag?

Also please post the output of the tauri info command so we know the versions and OS we're dealing with here :)

Lastly, do you have a minimal reproduction for this, or is your project public?

[LemonNekoGH]

Yes I used --verbose flag.
My environment is stable because we use Gitlab Pipelines, so the output of tauri info command is always:

This error can be fixed by change product name to lowercase.

I also have the same problem by running:
cargo tauri build --runner cargo-xwin --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Error failed to bundle project: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Change product name to lowercase solved it.

This should be fixed (by accident) in the latest beta cli version (beta.13). Can someone confirm this?

Edit: Correction, this will be fixed in an upcoming v2 release. I still had the CLI from this pr installed in my test...

The implementation won't work for the v1 branch so i'll try to find another fix.
