@matejdro: you can find a workaround for this issue in the package mqtt-explorer-beta, this one is not maintained anymore

I had no luck building this with the current version of node.js (19.0.1-1) but was able to get it working by using node.js 12.0 (installed via nvm).

@schui: something like gpg --keyserver hkps://pgp.surf.nl --recv-keys 4AEE18F83AFDEB23 might do the trick for you.

Cannot importing keys with gpg, missing User-ID.

the "arch" for this package is not "any" as it compiles some c-library

(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#arch)

and this looks wrong "backup=("~/.config/MQTT-Explorer/settings.json")".

I got an error with yarn, but simply trying to install again worked for me.

Dependency check passes but build fails on a dependency:

node: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.65: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
node: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.65: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

icu and lib32-icu are both installed

you can drop both yarn and npm runtime deps by changing the startup command to:

/usr/share/mqtt-explorer/node_modules/.bin/electron /usr/share/mqtt-explorer

using either yarn/npm to start is not a great solution:

• they cannot write to /usr when launched as a user as they should be

• the versions are pinned from when the package was built, it's useless to check for new versions, to update you'd need to re-run the pkgbuild anyway

• a lot of complex machinery that's effectively useless only to run electron at the end

PS. you can avoid sourcing an external repo for the .desktop file by simply adding it in the pkgbuild repo itself and have it listed in the source array as simply 'mqtt-explorer.desktop'

EDIT: forgot to mention that nodejs should be listed as dep since it's used to run the javascript/typescript in electron, it was implicitly dragged in by npm/yarn, but not listing it explictly is against the package guidelines

Doesn't build: mqtt-explorer-0.3.5-desktop.tar.gz ... FAILED

I was able to install this with aarnold temp fix. Thanks for the assist!
