🐧 [Bleeding] Shell scripts are opened in a text editor, but in v23.6.0 they execute

See original GitHub issue

Section of manifest file:

[[actions]]
name = "Red Alert - Linux"
path = "./openra-ra.sh"

It does not make a difference whether or not I include ./ or change the file name to have a .sh or not (the scripts OpenRA comes with have no file extension, I just tried adding it on to test if Itch was searching for .sh). The file is executable, and is of type “shell script”.

On stable Itch v23.6.0, the script executes properly.

On the bleeding version cloned from cave-commands, it just opens it in my text editor, Mousepad.

This may be a side-effect of moving to butler. https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/1530

@aaronfranke see https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/1606#issuecomment-384624938 - if we do go ahead with the linux runtime thing, SDL2 will definitely be part of it (most games link to it dynamically afaict!)
