NOTICE: The standalone espanso-wayland package has been merged into this pkgbase, which now builds two distinct packages:

• espanso-x11: Espanso built for X11, replaces the former espanso package.
• espanso-wayland: Espanso built for Wayland, identical to the former standalone espanso-wayland package.

This change simplifies maintenance and ensures the packages are kept in sync. It does however incur slightly longer build times, as Espanso is compiled twice during the build process.

Your AUR helper will hopefully handle the upgrade/migration automatically.

Let me know if you encounter any issues.

Newer version was released, although it has -beta attached to it. v2.2.3-beta is latest version.

@carsme Thanks for your continued work. I just switched back to this package from espanso-wayland-git, which is currently broken.

However, I ran into a different problem with this package. As I had previously, I'm seeing persistent artifacts on screen. I assume it's to do with what would otherwise be the rainbow-colored square that displays briefly when espanso starts up. This is what it looks like for me.

I'm running into a problem on both my Intel (ThinkPad X1 Carbon) and AMD (Framework 13) machines. Both produce the below warnings during compilation, which would seem to be the cause of the behaviors I'm experiencing. espanso service register && espanso service start produces a generic gear logo icon in the dock (see screenshot), as well as a square (failed dialog rendering?) and pixel artifacts on screen (see screenshot)

Can you replace the dependencies wxwidgets-common and wxwidgets-gtk3 with wxwidgets only?

This would allow to either select wxwidgets-gtk3 or wxwidgets-qt5 depending on which desktop environment is used.

I tested it locally with makepkg and it seems to work.

Edit: I just realized that I manually had to create a symlink from /usr/bin/wx-config to /usr/bin/wx-config-qt to make the build work. Not sure how to solve this :(

Edit2: I created a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/espanso/espanso/pull/1918

@psto the linked issue should now be resolved on dev.

@NathanU unfortunately I cannot reproduce this build failure, can you try building in a clean chroot?

@carsme everything works, thank you!

This version introduces a bug for me where the Espanso Sync Tool window cannot be closed. If anyone has the same issue, you can track it on github: Espanso Sync Tool window not rendering correctly on wayland.

@psto, thanks for reporting, it should be fixed in 2.2.1-2.
