If the check fails there is little I can do about it as it most likely needs to be fixed upstream, in such cases report those upstream (maybe wait a day or two as sometimes it's quickly solved upstream) or skip the check with makepkg --nocheck if you don't care about the functionality that is being reported as failing in the check.

Since there still seems to be a lot of issues with check(), I would like to reiterate a workaround for anyone encountering issues, which is to install freecad with the --nocheck flag in makepkg to skip check(). You can also run yay with the --nocheck flag by passing a makepkg flag to yay with yay's --mflags option, for example:

yay --mflags --nocheck -S freecad-git

on latest HEAD I'm getting

I'm getting "failures=4, errors=1" while building this on a freshly installed system:

FAIL: test_ccxcantilever_prescribeddisplacement_0_mm femtest.app.test_solver_elmer.TestSolverElmer)
FAIL: test_ccxcantilever_nodeload_0_mm (femtest.app.test_solver_elmer.TestSolverElmer)

ERROR: test_box_static_0_mm (femtest.app.test_solver_elmer.TestSolverElmer)

Am I missing something here?

EDIT: Markdown

I don't know if this is an upstream issue, or if anyone actually cares. If not cared about, feel free to ignore.

Building this package uses all CPU cores on my system, despite a config in my makepkg.conf telling it to only use 4. This config works with other packages (Tested with kicad-git). It looks like it's related to Freecad using cmake, and that setting not making it through.

Does anyone else have this issue or a workaround?

I get a bunch of missing library dependencies when running check(), e.g.:

ImportError: libfmt.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This one can be fixed by installing fmt package. Similarly, libpugixml.so.1 can be fixed by installing pugixml. Finally, libhdf5.so.103 can't be easily fixed because the latest hdf5 package installs libhdf5.so.200.

Looks like some dependencies need to be updated?

proposal 2, add some optional dependencies:

proposal, get version number more similar to what is reported in FreeCAD's about dialog by comparing to 0.19 tag commit, any other arbitrary commit from master could be used too

 prepare() {

would the arch equivalent be python-markdown? Maybe it's worth adding that and python-gitpython as optional dependencies. QtNetwork I think is already included in qt5-base and pyside2 so maybe no change is needed?

@greyltc I'll try to re-compile (my poor poor laptop)

BTW, upstream is also recommending python3-markdown dependency for the updated addon manager as well (source)

Edit: recompiling I see this the CMake output

@Kunda hmm. I had that check fail too when K4LCIFER reported it, but my commit here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=freecad-git&id=880ae77dc6b0497a0a36dbffdc6cb67e12970918
fixed it. I'm surprised it's still an issue for you.
