@fnrir Your proposed change has been applied.

@oech3 This package is designed in a way such that user can modify the electron version used. The provided electron version is just a suggestion (based on upstream). However if one is using an AUR helper while changing the PKGBUILD file, a lot of weird interactions can happen, i.e. some dependency requirements being cached, etc etc. So there is a basic sanity check there.

Unsetting DISPLAY on Wayland breaks running non-Wayland apps in the terminal

! which $_electron check does nothing since it is installed automatically.

@Damgaldor is this something peculiar to my package? Based on some initial search I figured it might be an old unfixed issue in vscode, or more accurately, an issue with the sudo-prompt dependency.

I checked the vscodium-bin package on AUR. It also does not look like it will install something under /usr/lib/{$electron}/.

This patch/version of Codium breaks saving files with elevated privileges: Unable to save 'file.desktop': Command failed: cd "/usr/share/applications"; "/usr/bin/pkexec" --disable-internal-agent /bin/bash -c "echo SUDOPROMPT; \"/usr/lib/electron34/bin/codium\" --file-write \"/home/damglador/.config/VSCodium/code-elevated-8Fx763Uj\"" /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/lib/electron34/bin/codium: No such file or directory

@xinayder This is likely caused by certain behaviors of your AUR helper I think. I know some of those would cache the dependency requirements they see from the original repo, so changes you do to PKGBUILD yourself might not be reflected.

@Richardn that's interesting. I tried editing the PKGBUILD to use the latest electron, and not electron32, and it still falls back to electron32.

@xinayder No for two reasons.

  1. VSCodium, or to say the VSCode core might not be depending on the latest electron version. Actually it for the most of the time depends on older versions, and using newer electron actually can break VSCodium.
  2. We aim to use system-wide electron here to reduce bloat (in addition to enhanced performance), so users are free to choose whichever electron they already have on their system. The scripts of this package are designed for this purpose, where anyone can change the _electron (and _nodejs) in the beginning of PKGBUILD. For myself, I have only electron32 installed on my system, and both Discord and VSCodium depend on that.

Shouldn't this package use simply electron and not use a hardcoded version?
