joshm, looks like you have a outdated node.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:

==> Starting build()...
[!] SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'with'
    at ModuleLoader.moduleStrategy (node:internal/modules/esm/translators:152:18)
    at ModuleLoader.moduleProvider (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:298:14)
    at link (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:67:21)

Anyone have a fix?

You're welcome :)

Building against electron31 works, electron30 is untested (but wouldn't recommend since electron32 works perfectly).

Used rocketchat-desktop 4.0.2-1 for a full work day today, no issues.

Many thanks attention_horse!

I'm still wondering why it shouldn't work with Electron 30, since package.json and app/main.js refer to that. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I can confirm that rocketchat-desktop is now buildable again in a clean chroot environment with electron32. Not tested with an older electron version.

Kudos to @attention_horse. :)

Adding python-distutils-extra openjpeg2 to the makedepends array fixes the error for me and I can cleanly build the package using pkgctl build --clean.

I found the missing package openjpeg2 by running yarn install --inside-build within the chroot and looking at the output:

sharp@npm:0.29.3 STDERR Package 'libopenjp2', required by 'vips', not found

Please apply the patch and check with your build environment again :)

Still no luck in building rocketchat-desktop in a clean build chroot. It's always yarn failing.

I try changing to electron31 next.

@brody No, not in a clean environment. Just using my default installation I work with every day. Building in a chroot (following your link) also fails for me. I can check the chroot later.

Neither adding UV_USE_IO_URING=0 helped, nor adding python-distutils-extra glib2 to the makedepends array.

The error seems to be related to libvips:

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/sharp-linux-x64/src/common.o

@BS86: you didn't posted that you build the package in a clean chroot environment, at least I haven't seen it. BTW. my build system is up to date. I tried to build with kernel 6.9.3-zen1-1-zen and 6.9.3-arch1-1.
