I am posting this for others that may be having issues.

Upwork is no longer in the path.

If you do a symlink as another commenter stated, you seem to get a segfault when launching via terminal.

It only appears to work when run from the actual path.

More importantly, it appears that the default .desktop shortcut included is NOT correct as it assumes Upwork is in the path.

Pointing the desktop file at the appropriate location (/opt/upwork/upwork) appears to get things working again.

@senkomputilulo upstream package doesn't contain such a link, so I see no reason of adding it. There is a working .desktop shortcut available in the application menu. If your DE doesn't have an app menu you're probably capable of adding symlinks yourself ;)

after the last update the executable is not located in path because a symlink is missing. could you add a symlink say ln -s /opt/upwork/upwork /usr/bin ?

~ forward thanks to @msheremet :)

@lekkiduchem I can confirm that it is an i3 related issue. I had the same problem. However, Upwork client is working fine in other DEs. I have tested it in KDE, gnome,xfce, Deepin and Cinammon. The tracker works fine in those DEs.

@lybin Thanks for the quick update to the latest version. :)

@lekkiduchem , I think problem with i3. Upwork client is buggy. Not easy to support it sometimes. Try find or create your problem here: https://community.upwork.com/ We only migrating to Arch from .deb.

Hi, thank you for your work! I'm having an issue with the chat message input box. When I type, nothing happens until I move my mouse cursor or change window focus. The issue is gone when decouple chat window from the window where you can see the thumbnail of the screenshot, meaning, if I move chat window to another i3 workspace, everything works fine. I have a feeling that a blue pulsating question mark icon in the window with screenshot thumbnail might be causing this issue (animation stutters when I start typing). Can you please help? I'm running 5.4.14-arch1-1, X11 and i3. I'm using the latest version of upwork. Silly question, I'd love to search through comments, but it's my first time I'm using comments in AUR... is there a way to do it?

Working as expected on arch 5.4.8-arch1-1

Works on Manjaro 18.1 Gnome. Installed through the Package Manager (pamac-manager). Thanks.
