0.23.0-1 is currently broken. The package fails to build with:

mv: cannot stat 'vicinae/share/vicinae/native-host/*.in': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

error: failed to build 'vicinae-bin-0.23.0-1'

vicinae/share/vicinae/native-host is no longer present in 0.23.0

@sbavert https://github.com/arjixwastaken-aur/vicinae-bin/pull/1

Vicinae docs mention the following: https://docs.vicinae.com/browser-extension

If you installed vicinae from the AUR, using the script (as root) or from source, the prerequisites below should automatically be handled for you. When possible, these installation mediums automatically generate and install the required native host manifests on your system.

But I don't see the browser extension at the specified path /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.vicinae.vicinae.json. Is this because it's a binary package?

Oops, forgot to update vicinae.hook shasums and skipped tests before pushing. That one's on me. Fixing it right away @Hespro @cypress-exe @marul.

Same issue for me on CachyOS:

I am experiencing the same issue on EndeavourOS (Running KDE Plasma Wayland).

The build fails because vicinae.hook does not pass the SHA256 checksum:

@imrehg Thanks for the update. It seems your one works better.

@cilgin I have the same issue as @icke

Those env vars are available in the window manager (I have XFCE), I think the hook's 'sudo' -> 'runuser' layers where the env vars are not being loaded. You say it's misconfigured, so far I couldn't find any good way to configure it, do you have any hunches what might be something you set up to work?

However there's a different way to form the hook, suggesgted by the error message, that would likely work better anyways: setting the --machine flag for the user, instead of using `--runuser

I've tried the above, and it works, and seem to do what the original hook intended as well, just more explicitly?
