This package is now automatically updated every day.

No need to build manually or mess with your AUR helpers.

@elizabethdev done. Thanks for flagging this!

Hi, would you mind applying the same "Exec=" from the file visual-studio-code-insiders.desktop to the file visual-studio-code-insiders-url-handler.desktop (basically, use the wrapper that lets you apply flags from the ~/.config/code-flags.conf when using the URL handler).

I'd have done it myself but I'm not sure how this type of contributions are handled in the AUR, it doesn't look like pull requests are a thing in here.

@Alphabyte OK so the version is correctly identified. Can you try in a clean build directory, without any AUR helpers? Also, what's the output of uname -m?

Alphabyte commented on 2023-11-24 04:21 (UTC)

Hi, @dcelasun That command outputs 1700717804

@Alphabyte maybe it's a CDN issue. Assuming you're on x86_64, what's the output of IFS='/' read -ra ADDR <<< $(curl -ILs -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://update.code.visualstudio.com/latest/linux-x64/insider); echo "${ADDR[7]}" | sed 's/code-insider-x64-//g' | sed 's/.tar.gz//g' | sed 's/-/./g'?

@papajoke it seems upstream changed the URL format. Pushed a fix now.

bad pkgver() for x86_64 ?

After update my version is now insider-1 and not 17XXXXXXXX-X ! After update yay want always update : aur/visual-studio-code-insiders-bin insider-1 -> 1700112950-1

same with git and makepkg, result is visual-studio-code-insiders-bin-insider-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

@greyltc that's already the case. Here's the makepkg output on x86:

could this be changed to only fetch the bin that matches our architecture by default?
