I can also reproduce @jzbor's issue. After the update to 1.1.55.498, this seems to have stopped working; it might have to be reported upstream, or perhaps it can be solved by linking some additional library in the wrapper(haven't got it working though)

This somehow doesn't work anymore since the recent spotify updates. I have tried @Typologys fix, but it didn't seem to be working either. On my machine the spotify binary is in /opt/spotify/spotify with /usr/bin/spotify linking to it. I use the default aur package together with spicetify-cli for theming.

It seems that latest update of spotify package changed the path to spotify binary, so installing this package now breaks starting spotify.
Workaround:
sudo sed -i 's/\/usr\/share\/spotify\/spotify/\/usr\/bin\/spotify/g' /usr/local/bin/spotify

Hi @hero, I thought Git was included on base-devel, added to buildeps! About the guideline, I think that applies for official packages and not for packages from the AUR. This is a workaround as you can see on the previews comments; if you have a better solution for this, it's welcomed!

Hey, so according to this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards packages should never install into /usr/local/.
But what is more important is, that git is missing as a build dependency.

Good idea, thanks vknmnn.

instead of forcing install, PKGBUILD should install to /usr/local/bin which would take precedence over /usr/bin. (line #27) Likewise, spotifywm.so should not be installed to the same directory as spotify, to avoid conflicts on updates. It's enough to just put it in /usr/lib/ and link it in the spotify.sh (/usr/local/bin/spotify)
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/spotifywm.so
