Oh, I presume it'd throw some elaborate error if the spotify package was actually missing otherwise, rather than silently ignoring it? I am thinking we might consider some echo with some message instead of just "|| true", so that after "(N/N) Running SpotX after Spotify/SpotX upgrade." it'd follow with showing some message that actually it's not running due to Spotify package not being installed, just to leave out any confusion for those not using the system package perhaps... And thanks for adding it overall!

@p0358 I've added the hook, made some adjustments for robustness.

You may find this Pacman post-upgrade hook useful if you use this package in conjunction with Spotify AUR package: https://gist.github.com/p0358/841be7aadf72ca3084ebadd840cfe690

Tl;dr in something like /etc/pacman.d/hooks/spotx.hook put in:

[Trigger]
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = spotify
Target = spotify-dev
Target = spotify-edge
Target = spotx
Target = spotx-git

[Action]
Description = Running SpotX after Spotify/SpotX upgrade.
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/spotx -f
Depends = spotx
Depends = spotify

In fact I don't believe it'd be a stretch to suggest for this AUR package to put something like that in /usr/share/libalpm/hooks by default (since it'd only trigger if spotify package is also installed, and if someone really doesn't want it, they could always blacklist it in NoExtract in their /etc/pacman.conf)

yeah, works even better that way, thanks

@foxwdn sounds like it's better this package does not check for spotify and instead lets the script do the validation instead. Updated in new rel

Hi, is it possible to add spotify-launcher as a dependency so that an additional spotify AUR package doesn't get installed? The script seems to find spotify installation no problem: Found client Directory: ~/.local/share/spotify-launcher/install/usr/share/spotify

can you add these dependencies to the pkgbuild? https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX-Bash/blob/b6738f9830986c8ba0551881d120d359843bad94/spotx.sh#L108-L110

and could you also update the source? it comes from SpotX-Official now
