What happened?

I setup a menu.json

Using conda build . I am able to build a wheel
Building wheel for mss (setup.py): finished with status 'done'

But with the menu entries something is wrong

### Additional Context

I  know that I can add this to the recipe, but currently I don't know if I could test it locally. If it is possible to try this locally I would prefer this.

- "application/x-menuinst": ["*.menuinst"]
+ "application/x-menuinst": "*.menuinst"

I think this is the change you need. Maybe this should be a list in general, but for your use case this should work with the current schema.

Now it shows ['platforms']['properties']['**osx**'], but I am still on linux. I would expect it ignores that section.

when I remove the osx and windows section also the failure is gone

Removing all other OS's it builds now.

The validation happens for the whole JSON document. You can have a single JSON for all OSs in your noarch package, or if you prefer it this way, have a per-arch package with a dedicated JSON.

              "UTTypeTagSpecification": [
                {
                  "public.filename-extension": ["menuinst"]
                }

should be a plain dict:

              "UTTypeTagSpecification": {
                  "public.filename-extension": ["menuinst"]
              }

I realized now the docs are out of date. Source of truth for now should be this test file. I'll update the docs. Sorry for the trouble!

#190 should point to the right examples now.

[ReimarBauer]

this helped, thx.

[jaimergp]

#190 is merged, so closing here. Thanks for the report!
