Since more than a week, the package fails to compile with the following weird error :

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Tried cleaning al sorts of caches and unistalling other electron versions from the system, same results.

Polly: Thanks for the heads-up. Apparently upstream has removed this version, so I just switched back to 4.11.1 here too.

The sha256sum for the source seems wrong for ver. 4.11.2-1. Needed to manually update the PKGBUILD. Thanks for maintaining.

salemsayed: Works for me when building in a clean chroot. Maybe some dependencies are outdated in your installation.

BS86: Thanks, done. (You could have just clicked on “Flag package out-of-date” though.)

electron37 is now available in the repo and the package could be updated to use it.

I'm getting opengl errors again on the latest version, previous version worked fine, the version before that also gave me this error. Using wayland (Hyprland). Any idea what might cause this?

joshm, looks like you have a outdated node. I had the same error and upgraded node with nvm.

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

I'm seeing this during install:

Anyone have a fix?
