I created the neo4j-desktop-1 package and bumped this one to v2.1.4.

For people upgrading from v1.6 to v2:

The two packages use different names for their binary/config/icons and they use different data paths, so they can coexist. Also, there is now a migration helper inside of v2, that will help you clone your v1.6 instances into v2.

@hollow_ptr, thanks for creating the package for v2!

Regarding the naming, I think your suggestion is a good idea. I've been reluctant to bump this package to v2 because of the previously mentioned breaking changes, but if the fix for people that want to keep using v1 is to just install a different package, I guess that's not too bad.

I'll give it a shot over the weekend.

I've created the neo4j-desktop-2 package, but i wonder if it would be better to have the package without the version designation be the latest version, and keep a the 1.x as a separate narrower package (neo4j-desktop-1x or something like that).

What do you think?

FYI: I haven't bumped the package version because version 2 is meant to run alongside version 1.6 and it introduces some breaking changes* that would likely catch folks off guard.

I think a good way forward here would be to create a separate neo4j-desktop-2 package for version 2.

• The main breaking change that comes to mind is that version 2 uses a different path and folder structure to store data, and at the moment Neo4j instances from v1.6 are not migrated automatically to v2 (though a migration helper is being worked on). Also the minimum supported version of Neo4j is now 5.1 instead of 4.1.

You can see the feature comparison between the two versions here for more details: https://neo4j.com/docs/desktop/current/comparison/

For current version, modify lines 3 and 15 to:

pkgver=2.0.2
md5sums=('d422e0feba128ea680d14e820f3b5860')

@Tofu_Bone Not sure what's wrong, but it looks like either an Electron or Node error. Are other Electron apps working fine for you?

I can install the package, but when I run it, it gives:

/tmp/.mount_neo4j-BL1amt/neo4j-desktop[308407]: ../../third_party/electron_node/src/node_platform.cc:444:std::shared_ptr<PerIsolatePlatformData> node::NodePlatform::ForIsolate(v8::Isolate *): Assertion `data' failed. [1] 308407 abort (core dumped) neo4j-desktop

Any idea what went wrong?

@Gas42 done, thank you for pointing that out :)

Hello, could you add fuse as a dependency please ? Can't use neo4j-desktop without fuse installed :)

After removing all yay downloads regarding neo4j-desktop from yays cache, it now installs. Thank you :-)
