Arch Linux User Repository

Hello. autojump-22.5.3-7 appears to be broken (Manjaro). After installing, the instructions say to add this to .bashrc:

[[ -s /home/josh/.cache/pacaur/autojump/pkg/autojump/etc/profile.d/autojump.sh ]] && source /home/josh/.cache/pacaur/autojump/pkg/autojump/etc/profile.d/autojump.sh

But this file does not exist. I added the line anyway, and opened a new terminal. No errors, but when I try to autojump, I get this:

> autojump proj

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/autojump", line 39, in <module>

from autojump_argparse import ArgumentParser

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'autojump_argparse'

Following this recommendation, I then open a new terminal and try autojump again and this time it appears to work, but does not actually change the directory:

> autojump proj

/home/josh/Projects

> pwd

/home/josh

Not sure what else to try.

@Jake - Nice! Thanks for the tip. See 22.5.3-7.

@graysky: Thanks for maintaining this! You don't need to hardcode the the python version (and make manual updates). Instead you can use this trick to get the site-packages path: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines#Using_site-packages

Used for example like this: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=searx

Also the depends should be set back to python>=3.3, like the project actually requires, just in case someone wants to stay on a old python and ignore updates.

@captn3m0 - Yes, fixed in 22.5.3-6

Broken again with the Python 3.9 release. I did a clean rebuild using yay, and still get the same error. Changing 3.8 to 3.9 in the PKGBUILD fixes it for now.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/autojump", line 39, in <module>
    from autojump_argparse import ArgumentParser
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'autojump_argparse'
autojump: directory 'cal' not found
\n\n
Try `autojump --help` for more information.

@fzerof - Upstream is a bit of a mess, but on a headless system accessed only via ssh with the default set to /bin/zsh (Arch), I do not experience this.

"/etc/profile" is invoked only for login shells. If I run an interactive shell, like zsh, I still encounter the error "https://github.com/joelthelion/autojump/pull/339". So I have to add "autojump.zsh" to .zshrc manually.

I use manjaro, i3, and zsh.

I'm on Manjaro. So take this chance to try another similar package: jump.

Why not use python>=3.3(which is the requirement on the project's github page)? Wouldn't it work for both distros?

The problem is that one needs to rebuild this against a major python version release (ie 3.6 to 3.7 or 3.7 to 3.8). If it were in the official repos, the maintainer would just bump the pkgver and change the _python variable but since it's the AUR, I have to force it with the versioned python3 dep.

If there is a smarter way to maintain consistency please share it with me.

For example, if you you build autojump against python v3.7.x, you will get:

% pacman -Ql autojump

HI @graysky,
