@braderhart I think we're running into the same issue. The problem appears to be that the script wrapping "app.asar" via "exec electron" (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/slack.sh?h=slack-electron) somehow confuses Slack and makes it open new instances instead of reusing the existing one.

If you don't know what game you're playing, don't ask what the score is.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I can't get Slack links to work properly on slack-electron. They just open a new Slack window client, for some reason. This means logging in is impossible (had to do it via slack-desktop), and opening links to other workspaces results in a new client window.

Is anyone aware of the cause of the problem, or a fix?

I can't see the main windows when using wayland: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slack-wayland/#comment-826513

Plasma KDE.

@hpstg, as a workaround you can install slack-desktop, complete the browser-based login procedure with it, then replace it with this package. You will remain logged-in.

Sorry for delay with updates, I disowned this package, feel free to adopt it.

@yurikoles, now slack is at 4.16.0, so the out of date signal is also outdated, :)

@hpstg, what do you mean, I use slack for the office and I have to login thorugh SSO, and it works just fine...

hpstg commented on 2021-04-26 12:32 (UTC)

The package by default still cannot complete the login procedure, regardless of DE or browser.

The latest update has made the PKGBUILD significantly more difficult to review.

Why were all references to "slack" updated to "${_product}"? It's longer to write and more difficult to read.

Can you please update the slack.sh bin script to use '#!/bin/bash' instead of '#!/bin/sh'? Pacman has a hard dependency on bash, so everyone will always have it installed. There's no reason to use '#!/bin/sh' on an Arch Linux system.
