Is the current building script corrupted? Well I can install electron8-bin as required but the PKGBUILD still uses electron7 for building stuffs.

caleb commented on 2020-09-25 10:04

@monoid What a fiasco! The electron7 package was dropped from [community] but there is an AUR package eletron7-bin that provides it. You can use that. This is actually available for 8 too and I didn't want to go down the road of using an AUR bin package, but there is less and less options available to us. I preferred the downgrade to 7 over the bin package. Now that our hand is forced I'll bump this to 8 again. People that want to build it can supply that how they want, but currently electron8-bin is the only way I know of.

If anybody submits a working electron8 source package to the [AUR] I'd be happy to build and host it in my package repository.

@caleb

electron7 seems to have been removed from the official repos. Not sure what would be the best course of action, maybe adding electron7 to AUR and using that instead?

Not much work has been done towards electron9 support just yet https://github.com/marktext/marktext/issues/2128

PKGBUILD using NVM to set the Node.js version during build instead of replacing nodejs with nodejs-lts-erbium on one's system.

I still have a build error in a clean chroot:

@monoid Having a -bin package definitely makes sense and will be what some people want to use for the least hassle approach. The -bin package should be kept up to date as well for those that want it, but the source package being a bit more Arch idiomatic is what some people expect and want. Yes it's some trouble, but in the end some people prefer that outcome.

lambdaclan commented on 2020-06-06 02:36

@caleb

Thanks for the explanation. Seems like being always on the bleeding edge is a maintenance nightmare for electron packages. Does it make sense to simply provide an updated bin package? There is one already but does not seem to be getting updates anymore.

Marktext provides an appimage that can be used at the basis for a -bin package.

I know that bin packages is not a recommended approach but it seems to be the easiest way to avoid this dependency issue.

Electron 9 has caused problems for hundreds of packages in the AUR, and Arch dropped all v8 packaging. I'm going to be downgrading some packages to 7 and maybe adding an AUR package for 8 to get us by until upstream projects like this one support 9 properly. Sorry for the whole fiasco --- in this case following Arch guidelines should have but did not save us from the "AUR is unsupported" issue.

The new electron version 9.0.1 is causing an error during build also existing installations fail to launch with a Javascript exception.

I did try removing the package and doing a clean build but the issue persists.

Here is the stacktrace:

An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
Could not detect abi for version 9.0.1 and runtime electron.  Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron

This seems to be an upstream problem since electron 9 is still not supported: https://github.com/marktext/marktext/issues/2128

I am posting here in case there is a workaround or if the PKGBUILD needs to be updated when the time comes.

@caleb My pleasure.
