Electron was updated to v16 and isn't supported by freetube.

@G3ro: Oops. I fixed the typo in my paste.

- install -Dm644 build/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname"
+ install -Dm644 build/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname"

@yochananmarqos

I tried your proposed changes and it shows an error when starting "freetube": "Error launching app Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/freetube/app.asar

Cannot find module '/usr/lib/freetube/app.asar' Require stack: - /usr/lib/electron13/resources/default_app.asar/main.js "

I notice that the created package does not include "app.asar", so the following line does not seem to work the right way: "install -Dm644 build/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname" "

In the previous package "app.asar" is a subsidiary of "/usr/lib/freetube".

  • As of 0.15.0-beta, yarn is now used to fetch dependencies
  • The pkgver should be the same as the upstream tag, see example PKGBUILD below
  • AGPL3 is a common license already installed in /usr/share/licenses/common/, no need to install it again
  • Remove the shebang from the desktop file
  • freetube.sh should run exec electron13 /usr/lib/freetube/app.asar "$@", see Electron package guidelines

Example PKGBUILD

Thanks @picokan, yes, after finally getting the newer electron13, things work back.

picokan commented on 2021-09-22 10:17 (UTC)

@je-vv The harfbuzz update is the culprit: https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/commit/d700646c33af53afcabe564e9943565d58e1192a.

They removed legacy code, and the function electron is complaining about is one of them. However, FreeTube is still working for me, and I did have an electron13 update yesterday when you say you haven't had one since the 14th of September. You may want to try to update electron13 by changing to a different mirror if the one you are on still hasn't gotten that update.

It's still weird that you got the harfbuzz update without the electron13 update, but all you need is to update to fix this.

@picokan, after Today's upgrade (I upgrade every day or so), freetube stopped launching:

% freetube
/usr/lib/electron13/electron: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/electron13/electron: undefined symbol: hb_subset_input_set_retain_gids

I rebuilt it, just in case that would fix it, but it didn't, I kept having the same issue, :( BTW, weird enough, electron13 didn't upgrade, it hadn't since Sept 14th. From yesterday, I got upgraded:

I can't see what package upgrade could have broken freetube, perhaps the gtk3 or harfbuzz upgrades, no idea...

At any rate, not sure what can be wrong, any hints on how to fix it? As mentioned, rebuilding doesn't help, :(

picokan commented on 2021-09-10 08:14 (UTC)

That problem must come from the combination of AUR helper bugs and Manjaro not having an electron13 package. Using only makepkg on Arch, the PKGBUILD pulls the correct electron13 package from community and installs.

If this is happening to you, you should consider reporting this bug to your AUR helper's issue tracker.

je-vv commented on 2021-09-09 22:18 (UTC)

hmm, I do have the "community" provided electron13, essentially because "element" also depends on "electron13", and when getting the "freetube" upgrades, there's NO attempt whatsoever to grab electron13 from AUR. Perhaps what some are experiencing is due to the AUR helper of choice? I use "aurutils", which does things pretty close to the manual process of makepkg...

cb474 commented on 2021-09-09 20:24 (UTC)

My system doesn't have electron14 installed yet either. But I don't understand why the pkgbuild for freetube depends on a version of electron13 in AUR, when there is still a version of electron13 available in the community repo. Why not use that version?
