App unusable after update about arch-pkgbuilds HOT 17 CLOSED

Hello,

I can confirm this bug also. this was probably a bug introduced by back-porting the Yarn changes, I will resume work on applying patches tonight and I will bring you updates.

from arch-pkgbuilds.

@maharifu 's PKGBUILD worked for me. Roughly, I did this:

# Pull down the AUR repo
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/joplin.git; cd joplin

# Remove the old PKGBUILD
rm PKGBUILD

# Pull down @maharifu 's PKGBUILD:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/maharifu/96816ff4e2de201068fb9ae390fd5b94/raw/6d163fd734e2fafa512cd8d3e13ea2f09b3c4c7c/PKGBUILD

# Set the right version of node (I use nodenv)
nodenv install 16.13.0
nodenv local 16.13.0

# Build and install:
makepkg -si

That worked like a charm for me, and Joplin runs like it's supposed to.

The same for me.

Hi @alfredopalhares, I managed to make it work with some simplifications of you PKGBUILD here

It is working fine on my machine, but please keep in mind:

• I'm not entirely sure that this is the correct approach 😄
• I removed the last patch entirely. It doesn't seem to be necessary for me, all features seem to work fine.
• It only works with nodejs 16. I installed nodejs-lts-gallium.

I'm not opening a PR because I'm not sure if this is the right way to fix this.

I hope it helps 🙂

Has there been any update on this? I'd prefer not using the appimage version if I can help it tbh.

Yes, I did cleanup the backports a lot, i am currently fighting the local yarn vs system yarn usage.

Awesome! I will compare and test! This is certainly useful!

@wideaperture did you make sure you're running node 16? From the logs it looks like you're on node 17, which has a problem compiling this version of sqlite3. On lines 840-841:

npm ERR! node-pre-gyp ERR! node -v v17.3.0
npm ERR! node-pre-gyp ERR! node-pre-gyp -v v0.11.0

Can you can try installing nodejs-lts-gallium, or setting nodenv? If you don't want to mess with that, you can also try this PKGBUILD which uses NVM to set the node version (to build the packages only), according to the Arch package guidelines (you'll have to install nvm from the AUR first).

The package failed to build when I followed @robsears 's guide, but I'm also on Manjaro, which is a few weeks behind Arch proper on its release schedule, so there may be some versioning issues somewhere. Here's the shell output from the makepkg -si command.

For what it's worth, when I previously upgraded the package via yay with the vanilla MAKEPKG, it built and installed — but with the aforementioned unusable interface.

@maharifu Thanks immensely! I installed nvm from the AUR and used the corresponding PKGBUILD you suggested. Worked like a charm.

As for my previous attempt using @robsears ' recipe, I did try setting nodenv, per his instructions. Having never used nodenv before, however, it's quite possible I missed an important detail.

In any case, thanks so much, all of you, for all your assistance in getting this working.

Hello,

I have updated Joplin, both Joplin desktop and Joplin cli are working now! Test and reopen if necessary.

Hello everyone,

As an update, I managed to build the app using Yarn 3, I am know getting this error:

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module '@joplin/fork-uslug'

Any ideas would be welcome, the PKGBUILD is on feature/joplin-on-yarn3 if any of you want to test and give insight,.

@maharifu I cant build your PKGBUILD in any way, are you sue that PKGBUILD works?

Now that I got it working with Yarn 3 I opened a request for help on the Joplin Forum and I hope I will get some help.

Also due to all the problems that people have building I am thinking on providing my own repositoriy, signed with pre build packages, what do you think, is it useful?

Thank you all for you patience.

Regards,
Alfredo Palhares

I am sure. I even cleaned everything up and recompiled again before posting, just to make sure.

Maybe there's some unidentified dependency I happen to have installed? What errors are you getting?

I'll try the yarn 3 PKGBUILD as soon as I can.

Hi @alfredopalhares,

First of all, thanks for putting so much effort into this! I'm not in a position right now to test the changes, but I hope that, together with the help from Laurent on the Discourse, you'll be able to figure this out.

I can however comment on the idea of setting up your own repository. I personally wouldn't use this as I'm in the process of writing & setting up my own repo as well, but I think that lots of other people might appreciate this effort, considering how long the build process for joplin actually is. Maybe you could get in touch with the Chaotic-AUR people & see if they'd like to host Joplin? Unless, of course, you really want to set it up yourself, which I'd totally understand haha, it is fun.

After the upgrade I get a blank page if I toggle on the wysiwyg editor. Is that related to the issues discussed here?

Edit: I can also confirm the blank icons, and uneditable row of x's as reported by OP

@maharifu
Thanks for your suggestion.
Installing nvm and using suggested PKGBUILD helped to solve installation issues.

# Set the right version of node (I use nodenv)
nodenv install 16.13.0
nodenv local 16.13.0

Did not work for me for some reason either.

from arch-pkgbuilds.

Yet another happy Joplin user! Thank you for providing an improved PKGBUILD file: the built app is now usable. It might be a candidate for replacing the actual one.
Please let me know if I can help in any way, I'll be following the thread.
