I cannot be defeated! I resorted to debugging with print() statements, and it turns out that I needed to remove python-argparse for some reason. Once I removed that package, it ran just fine. @dmark04 you might try that. Many thanks to you, @duffydack.

Yours seems to fail around the blueprint part. Mine succeeds,

What version of blueprint-compiler do you have? Generally, if you can't build something, you try another system or a clean chroot to rule out your system. Something on your system is problematic.

@duffydack Thanks, I think that's the culprit. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe these are the steps you tried:

1. cd /tmp
2. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/extension-manager.git
3. cd /tmp/extension-manager
4. makepkg -sr

When I do the above, the output looks like this so I'm just struggling to see where my process differs from yours. I see interesting parts like extension-manager 0.4.0 (when I'm expecting 0.4.1) but it doesn't seem to bother the compilation until it looks for that exm-window.ui file, and I can't seem to put my finger on where that comes from.

I realize I've burdened you quite a bit, but maybe this will help shine a light for others to see a difference that I'm failing to see.

@Maybelline I have the file.

❯ find . -iname 'exm-window.ui' 
./src/build/src/exm-window.ui

❯ grep -R exm-window.ui
src/extension-manager-0.4.1/src/exm.gresource.xml:    <file>exm-window.ui</file>
src/extension-manager-0.4.1/src/exm-window.c:    gtk_widget_class_set_template_from_resource (widget_class, "/com/mattjakeman/ExtensionManager/exm-window.ui");
grep: src/build/src/extension-manager: binary file matches
grep: src/build/.ninja_deps: binary file matches
grep: pkg/extension-manager/usr/bin/extension-manager: binary file matches

That's just a basic git clone and makepkg -sr

@duffydack or @pezz could you confirm that after you build in your chroot you're seeing the same contents that I am? Namely, after you build, could you run find ./extension-manager -iname 'exm-window.ui' and then also grep -R exm-window.ui to see if you're also seeing references to exm-window.ui, but do not have the file? I think that's the missing piece for my build, so I'm trying to narrow down where our paths diverge.

I'm sorry to keep nagging, but I'm worried that this isn't going to resolve itself naturally. Appreciated!

@all, It builds fine in a chroot (I use aurutils), I also just did a build in my gnome VM. Needed to install gcc and pkgconf, makepkg -sc built ok. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@pezz for me the error of being unable to locate "exm-window.ui" persists even after manually installing text-engine and libbacktrace-git Both using yay and manually makepkg -si

makepkg doesn't install AUR dependencies, so perhaps your system is missing something.

I'd check if you have text-engine and libbacktrace-git installed before trying makepkg.

The culprit still could be yay not resolving and installing deps properly.

To remove yay as the culprit, I did git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/extension-manager.git then cd extension-manager and makepkg -si and it tells me:

./extension-manager-0.4.1/src/exm.gresource.xml: Failed to locate “exm-window.ui” in any source directory.

So, I don't think it's a yay issue, but maybe a missing dependency? I can't find any file named exm-window.ui with find but I do see references to it with ripgrep:

src/extension-manager-0.4.1/src/exm-window.c
390:    gtk_widget_class_set_template_from_resource (widget_class, "/com/mattjakeman/ExtensionManager/exm-window.ui");

src/extension-manager-0.4.1/src/exm.gresource.xml
4:    <file>exm-window.ui</file>

using clean build in yay i get the same issue as Maybelline

FAILED: src/exm-resources.h
/usr/bin/glib-compile-resources ../extension-manager-0.4.1/src/exm.gresource.xml --sourcedirsrc --sourcedir ../extension-manager-0.4.1/src --c-name exm --internal --generate --target src/exm-resources.h
../extension-manager-0.4.1/src/exm.gresource.xml: Failed to locate “exm-window.ui” in any source directory.

seems to be a yay issue then since others don't encounter this?
