@robindegen sorry about that, I forgot that *.in files were in .gitignore. Fixed in 1.123.0-2.
I also think local:// isn't valid makepkg syntax?
It definitely works and I've seen it in other packages, but it doesn't seem to be documented. I can remove it if it causes problems.
Some files weren't comitted i think:
==> ERROR: code.desktop.in was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.
I also think local:// isn't valid makepkg syntax?
Upstream still hasn't pushed the correct tag in ~24 hours. Since this is the third tag related failure in the last 2 months, I decided to include the resource files on AUR and remove the GitHub dependency.
This means we won't be automatically tracking upstream changes to those files, which has caused issues before, so please let me know if that happens again.
Updated to 1.123.0.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has messed up the git tag for the third time in 2 months, so 1.123.0 will be delayed.
You can modify the PKGBUILD and build locally if you don't want to wait.
the tag is there now isn't it? could we get an update now...? (:
Microsoft has once again forgotten to tag the new version on GitHub, so the screen-sharing fix from v1.122.1 is delayed.
DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 1.122.0 YET. It has a bug that keeps asking for screen sharing.
Don't panic if you see vscode asking all of a sudden for a screen share on startup. It's a bug.
@lazba Its not related to the AUR build.
Look at your keyboard shortcuts in VS Code, you'll likely see ctrl + shift + v are used for multiple things.
Preferably post questions like this on the Arch forum or other forum or on Github. There's an AUR section in the Arch forums.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)
This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the licence difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open-source version.
This package depends on the official tarball. Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If the new version isn't on that page, this package cannot be updated! If you can see the new version there, but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within hours.
Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with
makepkg -si. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.xdg-openuses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?Install
shared-mime-info-gnomegnome-sessionwhich now includes mimemapps.Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.
The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on GitHub.
No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.
