Hi, I am getting the following build error: go build -v -mod=mod -ldflags '-s -w -linkmode external -extldflags "-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now" -X "main.version=9.4.7"' -modcacherw -trimpath -o yay flag provided but not defined: -modcacherw
Had the same issue. I had to build yay manually. Changing -modcacherw to -mod=readonly helped.

Having these issues when building latest update.. Any thoughts?

Aborting... Error making: yay
@bkb you can select the sudo-loop functionality to let yay handle this situation more gracefully:
yay -Y --sudo-loop --save
See this comment, for the reasoning behind that:
https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/1221#issuecomment-606465266
The build process runs in the same terminal, so the sudo ticket is valid. This allows scripts to potentially sudo, which is something you don't want when building.
Also, the ticket might expire by the time building is done.
@brb by asking for sudo password early - won't you risk that the "sudo"privs have timed out if the update takes a long time to process (download etc) ?
yay asks for root rights way too late
Sometimes you run a big update and go take your coffee, yay will ask nothing and make his compilations... And when you're far away from keyboard he will launch pacman at the very end who asks fur sudo rights (so your passsword) and that expires fast. So you return and nothing has been done, you have to relaunch and stay by the computer watching for the exact moment the computer will ask for the pswd. For example it's particularly annoying with ffmpeg-git who is very slow to compile and that if you don't give the passsword, you have to recompile the whole thing
Nevermind, yay should ask the password at the very beginning if he know he will need rights at some point

Can you remove the sudo dependency, and make it optional, please?
I like to use yay just with opendoas, but this package keeps pulling sudo as dependency, while it's not necessary at all.
Does not build on WSL in Windows if the path contains spaces. The $PWD is then split into multiple strings.

This will happen if you upgrade pacman and yay separately If you have this error you need to manually recompile yay
