Do NOT report an issues with this package upstream. This package uses system/latest electron. Any issues you have MUST be reproducible in the Flatpak or vesktop packages

The PKGBUILD was fixed but not the vesktop.sh file. It builds now but Vesktop cannot be opened.

This doesn't build after the latest update, a few changes are missing to make it work.

Line 34 of the PKGBUILD and line 12 of the sh file should both be using electron40 instead of electron

@Covkie please update this package, the current version is very old and seems pretty bugged

I think line 47 of the PKGBUILD still uses the wrong variable, it should be using $name, not $_pkgname.

@LRitzdorf I performed your fix and it worked: mv /usr/lib/Vesktop /usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar

@sir-wallaby Same here. I assume this is what you meant to type, but I resolved the issue by moving /usr/lib/Vesktop to /usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar.

I'm not sure if this is unique to me, but posting here in case anyone else runs into this error when attempting to launch the new version(1.6.0-3).

Error launching app Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar

Cannot find module '/usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar'

To fix this, I noticed my /usr/lib/Vesktop directory had a uppercase V in vesktop. So, I ran

cd /usr/lib

then renamed the folder:

sudo mv Vesktop vesktop

This seemed to resolve the error and vesktop-electron opens normally now (with icons BTW).

As @chrrybmb stated, the icon is missing in the lastest release

I tried updating the PKGBUILD to the latest version and got this error.
