Additionally, the PKGBUILD is missing the completions for elv and nu.

In the PKGBUILD, line 66. It creates an icon file named Helix.png, but this does not work. It should be helix.png at least in the case of rofi.

@illegitimate-egg I have disabled the checks. I trust upstream's CI suite to shake out the bugs.

Does this really need to run integration tests? They take more time than building helix itself for me, especially because it builds twice. Surely they should just be run by maintainers or CI pathways?

A manual makepkg -si installed fine just now but still fails with yay --devel. I have no idea what changed. @keilmillerjr Can you also try again?

This ran fine on a clean working tree latest pull of the master branch of helix as of right now:

cargo build --locked --profile opt && cargo test --workspace --locked && RUSTFLAGS="--cfg tokio_unstable" cargo integration-test --locked

One notable thing is this line in the output:

test helix-lsp-types/src/lib.rs - MarkupContent (line 2716) ... ignored

Are there any troubleshooting hints anyone can give? Thank you.

I share the same issue as @SalmanFarooq.

Robin_Jadoul commented on 2024-08-23 14:08 (UTC)

@SalmanFarooq, it builds fine for me, both before and after that change. The weird thing is that it seems to be treating something as a doctest that shouldn't be at all, because it's marked ${language}. Doesn't fundamentally seem like a stable vs nightly issue to me, but falling back on the upstream rust-toolchain.toml seemed like a good idea regardless.

SalmanFarooq commented on 2024-08-23 14:05 (UTC)

It is still failing with the same error even after the update you pushed just now.

The build has been failing for me since some time. I have been able to get it to work with:
