Go seems to install its module files by default with non writable permissions 0444.

This causes issues with the cache cleanup of AUR Helpers like yay - for example yay tries to remove ~/.cache/yay/purple-gowhatsapp-git/src/purple-gowhatsapp/build/_go/pkg/mod/google.golang.org/protobuf@v1.36.9/runtime/protolazy/protolazy.go - which fails.

I looked around a bit and other packages solve this problem by adding the modcacherw flag (see https://go.dev/ref/mod#build-commands) to the download commands (for example yay itsself: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/blob/next/Makefile#L27)

I was able to solve this in the purple-gowhatsapp-git by setting an env variable in line 31 of the PKGBUILD file:

GOFLAGS=-modcacherw cmake --build build --target download-modules

I'm not sure if this is the best solution or if this is something that should be integrated in the cmake config.

PS, thank you for your lightspeed merge of my PR and maintaining this package :)

Thank you for the report, sotitrox. The issue has been fixed upstream.

The whatsmeow branch is now the main branch, with this PKGBUILD provided:

https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp/blob/whatsmeow/PKGBUILD

sotitrox commented on 2022-02-10 21:05 (UTC)

yes, it's working, but don't work for those that activate the new beta multi-device on whatsapp, if you activate that capacity, use the "whatsmeow" branch

gpc commented on 2022-02-05 09:36 (UTC) (edited on 2022-02-05 09:38 (UTC) by gpc)

I believe this plugin currently does not work, except for a beta version using whatsmeow. See https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp/issues/90 and https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp/tree/whatsmeow

Along with @PedroHLC indication had also to patch the removal of the failing touch and add another envvar on build. Here the full patch:
