Just a heads-up for those experiencing an overexposed web view after the Electron 40 update when moving the window between HDR and SDR displays or on SDR screens at 100% brightness (Wayland-only):

A workaround for this is passing --disable-features=WaylandWpColorManagerV1

Upstream bug: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/49566

Upstream uses yarn install instead of npm install which just ignores those dependency errors. It prints out a warning saying these problems exists, but it keeps going, so I might have to change the PKGBUILD to use yarn too.

@AndyRTR I'm surprised there are no reports for this upstream, because it should be happening there too. They changed the stylelint dependency version to 17.x two weeks ago, but stylelint-config-sass-guidelines only released a version that supports 17.x versions of stylelint 3 days ago.

The build fails because it looks for a 16.x version of stylelint but the installed one is too recent.

I'm getting an error about stylelint@"^16.1.0" | stylelint@"^17.0.0" unresolvable for some time now. I cannot find this issue upstream so far. Is this Arch/electron v39/v40 related or actually broken upstream?

Upstream updated Electron to version 40. Package needs adjusting

Sorry, yarn was hiddenly installed in my system so I didn't realise this dependency was added.

@picokan you replaced yarn with npm in makedepends, but it seems it still needs yarn to build the package. (edit: I wrote wrong yarn and npm position, sorry.)

> freetube@0.23.9 postinstall
> yarn run --silent patch-shaka

sh: line 1: yarn: command not found

@rwd2 I think it doesn't need to add yarn in depends. Build is succeeded even when yarn is only in makedepends, because depends have nothing to do with build process.

It failed to build unless I added yarn to 'depends', not just to makedepends. Also I noticed the build script mentioned "11 vulnerabilities (7 low, 4 moderate)". That doesn't look very assuring, though I know that is an upstream issue.

You need to add npm to makedepends, otherwise build() fails.
