Arch Linux User Repository

@ntfc I was going to go the other way (update to 9.0.1 instead of reverting back to 8.11.1).

P.S. postman are pretty bad at updating their release notes page (even after a new version is out).

If you want to revert to any previous version you can do so by cloning the aur repo and changing the version in the PKGBUILD file and using makepkg to build it (it will download and install that version for you). E.g.:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/postman-bin.git
cd postman-bin

Edit the PKGBUILD file with whatever editor you like: edit line 4 to be pkgver=8.11.1 or whatever version you like, then save and exit out of the editor and run

updpkgsums
makepkg -sif

updpkgsums will download the file and update sha for file in PKGBUILD so it will install with makepkg

Do you accept the patch? Hide the menu bar and disable updates

@j.taala

how disable auto update

I finally managed to get v11.32.3-1 working by just cloning the repo locally and making sure node v20 was used:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/postman-bin.git && cd postman-bin
nvm install 20 && nvm use 20
makepkg -si

Hey @hbayrousson, thanks for the answer - unfortunately that doesn't work for me either:

$ npm i --force

npm warn using --force Recommended protections disabled.

Hey @arseru, I had the same issue than you.

It seems it is related with node version that was used to install the node modules and the one that you have on your computer.

Check you have a node version compatible :

node --version should be close to v20.18.0 (you can use nvm for instance)

To have it working :

cd /opt/postman/app/resources/app/
rm -rf ./node_modules/@sentry
npm i --force

and there hopefully it is working !

If someone have a more elegant way without play with the node_modules ;)

Hey @j.taala, thanks for the reply! Unfortunately rebuilding/reinstalling didn't work for me, so I'll stay on the previous version for now, which still works :)

Hey @arseru,

I did get it to work by uninstalling and then reinstalling.

Try

sudo pacman -R postman-bin

Then reinstall (I use yay), e.g.

yay -S postman-bin

@j.taala I bumped into the same crash error as you, I'm running 11.21.0-1. Did you find a fix for it?

Thanks @kstolp. Looks like an issue on my side.

@j.taala I'm on 11.21.0-1, and it's working normally. I'm not seeing the same error as you. Note: I haven't changed any settings related to proxies within Postman, and I build in a clean chroot.
