Arch Linux User Repository

@Tomschi Thanks for your feedback, fixed it.

The installation ends with:

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
find: ‘/home/tomschi/.cache/yay/prospect-mail/src/prospect-mail.git/dist/linux-*/resources’: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

 -> error making: prospect-mail-exit status 4

@azkalaak Thanks for your feedback, fixed it.

latest version does not install the binary for me, reverting the change in the package() function locally seems to fix the issue.

This sounded promising, but even with a clean install, unfortunately the same error. I did a bit of research. It seems a common problem that npm is using not the node binary people expect it to, from what I understand. My solution for now is to use the bin version of this package. Thank you for the support, even though we couldn't narrow the issue down :)

@tuximail I've reinstalled it for several times, and no errors occurd:

I think maybe you should add these to your .bashr or .zshrc:

# NVM
[ -z "$NVM_DIR" ] && export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
source /usr/share/nvm/nvm.sh
source /usr/share/nvm/bash_completion
source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh

and reinstall again. You'd better do a purge clean first.

I reinstalled nvm, but no changes. Here is what I observed. The Version node20 is correctly installed during the process:

mkdir: created directory '/home/junger/.cache/yay/prospect-mail/src/.nvm'
'/home/user/.cache/yay/prospect-mail/src/.nvm/nvm.sh' -> '/usr/share/nvm/nvm.sh'
'/home/user/.cache/yay/prospect-mail/src/.nvm/nvm-exec' -> '/usr/share/nvm/nvm-exec'

but later, when the error occurs, it says:

error prospect-mail@0.5.4: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^20.6". Got "23.9.0"

I checked with my package manager: I have the package nodejs in version 23.9.0 installed. This is an indirect dependency of this package (it is a dependency of yarn). If I am totally mistaken here, I am sorry - this was just my observation and it makes sense to me.

@tuximail It looks that you havn't installed nvm correctlly. Please reinstall or update it first. I've used nvm to install node20.

I am not familiar with npm and all this, but I get this error for a while when trying to update to the current package version:

yarn run v1.22.22
