Works as expected. The taskbar is installed under /usr/lib/waybar/libniri_taskbar.so.

install: cannot stat '/home/aidan/.cache/yay/waybar-niri-taskbar/src/niri-taskbar-0.3.0-niri.25.08/target/release/libniri_taskbar.so': No such file or directory

This package assumes the location of the target directory, but Cargo allows the user to configure the target directory to be anywhere. I have a global target directory set. There are two ways to solve this.

I have a fish function that tries to determine the target directory (I don't know bash), and this worked to get things building:

  TARGET_DIR="$(fish -c 'get-cargo-target-dir')"
  install -Dm755 "${TARGET_DIR}/release/libniri_taskbar.so" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/waybar/libniri_taskbar.so"

However, the simpler solution is just to set the target-dir in build():

build() {
  cd "$_pkgname"
  cargo build --release --locked --target-dir=target
}

Any time you access files from the target directory in a script, you'll need to take this into account.
