Arch Linux User Repository

I'm not sure if I did something wrong but this kept failing to compile after installing nvm and nvm-git and the command works for my user.

I edited the PKGBUILD to remove the line, nvm unalias default using and ran the command after compiling.

edit: Clarified what I deleted

That might be an issue considering we're using nvm – but it might be a good idea to try. I'll give it a spin and see how it goes :)

why aren't nodejs-webpack and/or nodejs-webpack-cli packages optional build time dependencies to avoid downloading them as well? Aren't they needed any longer? They are opt deps for jitsi-meet-electron. I think if system ones could be used, that's way better than downloading them every time, :) Not sure if both needed though, perhaps, just the *-cli package?

@lsf, it's fine, it's just one line, and perhaps the right one, :) It gets generated at $HOME... Thanks !

Normally it should be enough to just rebuild the package – it probably happened because nodejs got updated in the meantime.

I'll push a new version of jitsi-meet-desktop in a few minutes anyway, so things should work again after you've installed that one :)

@je-vv: np.

where does the .npmrc get generated?

Hello,

for a few days, jitsi-meet-desktop fails to start, it gives me the following error message:

App threw an error during load

I am at loss why there is a conflict between those nodejs module versions, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,

@lsf, the export of npm_config_cache, does work, sorry about that. I just noticed the file

% cat .npmrc                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
prefix=/usr

still gets generated though. Which is a minor thing compared to the cache though... Thanks !

@gok's advice worked, even though it didn't install with pacman due to error: target not found: jitsi-meet-desktop, which was solved by manually telling pacman to install the compiled package with sudo pacman -U /path/to/package.

@je-vv the line with export npm_config_cache="$srcdir/npm_cache" should be equivalent to this – doesn't it work as I thought it did?

@lsf or @SamWhited, could you please add --cache "${srcdir}/npm-cache" or something similar so that npm and npx don't pollute the FS with bloated stuff? Thanks !
