Arch Linux User Repository

ack, thanks

Right now I'm working on a big change that installs the packages right to the system with no need for a virtual env or pip. In the meantime I'll revert that commit so the package still works.

Hi, after change https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=chia-git&id=cf67fef73269032999e777a9f1aec973a9538b69 (change the way venv is managed) I can’t seem to get chia to start, always fails with PackageNotFoundError: chia-blockchain

A lot of things, including PATH set by activate, and pip -V refer to the src dir.

If I revert to the previous commit, everything is fine.

Any ideas?

The activation command works in scripts as well, your autostart script could just be:

#!/bin/bash
source /opt/chia-blockchain/activate
chia start farmer

or something similar

@BenTheTechGuy Thanks for looking into it. I can now use Chia with this package, assuming that I run source /opt/chia-blockchain/activate first. Do you know how I could set it up so that chia is available as a regular command, without sourcing anything? If that were the case, it would be easier for me to auto-start upon boot.

@trapezestunned @EndlessEden @keybreak @BunchOfAtoms the problem is now fixed! I followed this guide to solve the error present in the previous comment. The latest version of the package should have no issues.

I have figured out the cause of the issue. Chia's venv points to $srcdir/chia-blockchain instead of the correct /opt/chia-blockchain. So instead of trying to find chia at /opt/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia, it tries to find it at /home/ben/.cache/paru/clone/chia-blockchain/src/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia, or whatever your equivalent directory is. Since paru keeps the source cloned unless you manually delete it, I didn't experience this issue since the directory was still there. However, many AUR helpers delete the srcdir when you're done building the package, so it can't find chia. I'm working on a fix that points it to the right place.

However, the fix I came up with of just replacing all occurances of $srcdir with /opt only works partially. Even though it allows chia to be executed, a new problem pops up trying to run it:

I have started a discussion on the GitHub to try and find out the cause and fix.

@BenTheTechGuy: different guy, but I am having the same problem. None of the commands in the comments let me use chia. The other AUR package chia-bin works fine without having to run any commands, but drags in tons of dependencies I don't need on my headless machine.

Try source /opt/chia-blockchain/activate. Does it still have the same issue?
