pnpm still causes trouble ^^

they changed the head of pnpm-workspace.yaml...

so the sed-6i-lines in prepare() lead to an indent error:

[ERROR] bad indentation of a mapping entry (8:22)

For help, run: pnpm help install

fixed it by letting sed attach the lines to the end of the file:

  sed -i '$a strictDepBuilds: false' "$srcdir/$_pkgname/pnpm-workspace.yaml"
  sed -i '$a minimumReleaseAge: 0' "$srcdir/$_pkgname/pnpm-workspace.yaml"

I have no idea if that may cause new issues in the future but for now the build runs without any errors

Maybe the PKGBUILD could be updated to insert "6i minimumReleaseAge: 0"; as suggested by no_gafam. Seems like this is a recurring issue.

my bad, they fixed the problem a day later within the pnpm-workspace.yaml:

* * Update pnpm to add youtubei.js to minimumReleaseAgeExclude

Odd, I'm not getting that error when compiling with the current PKGBUILD and latest freetube commit.

strict pnpm v11 building policies strike again:

[ERR_PNPM_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION] 3 lockfile entries failed verification

Fixed it by adding this line to prepare():

sed -i "6i minimumReleaseAge: 0" "$srcdir/$_pkgname/pnpm-workspace.yaml"

seems like since pnpm v11 dependencies within build scripts are handled more strict and freetube uses more unapproved packages than just '@parcel/watcher'...

I deactivated the strict approval rule by adding this line to build():

export PNPM_CONFIG_STRICT_DEP_BUILDS=false

I found it necessary to add this line to build(): pnpm approve-builds @parcel/watcher

Thanks for the _electron idea, that'll help with forgetting to change all instances of it. We aren't developing freetube, so I'm not too bothered with running linters and making sure they pass.

Hi,

The freetube.sh file still contains "electron41", and so does in the sed command.

Hi!

I will explain in parts:

1) _electron: I've created this variable to make it easier to change `electron` versions;
2) depends: I checked the `namcap` errors and added the dependencies accordingly;
3) makedepends: with `pnpm` you don't need `npm` anymore;
4) prepare(): I've changed the `sed` commands a little bit, so it can conform with `pnpm run lint`;
5) build(): I've changed to `pnpm run ci`, `pnpm run lint` and `pnpm run build` so we could be as close to upstream as possible. See https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/blob/development/.github/workflows/build.yml

UPDATE: I've checked the namcap again and the dependencies are not necessary, only electron.
