Can't build

Hi, I can't build either the waypaper-engine or the waypaper-engine-git.

It builds fine when I do it manually though. (git clone...)

The problem seems to be that the folder .../.cache/paru/clone/waypaper-engine/src/Waypaper-Engine-2.0.3/node_modules/app-builder-lib/src does not exists.

.../.cache/paru/clone/waypaper-engine/src/Waypaper-Engine-2.0.3/node_modules/app-builder-lib/ contains :
certs, node_modules, out, templates, package.json and scheme.json. There's no src folder.

Here's the tail of the build :

I tried with yay and had not problems. Try deleting the cache or clean building? If it builds in local I don't think that's an issue on my part, rather with the package manager you're using. I'm using yay, I just did a yay -Rns waypaper-engine-git and reinstalled without using the cache and worked without hiccups. Try it like that to see if it works, this looks like package manager shenanigans tbh.

I really can't figure out what's going on. Even if I manually build from the yay's cache folder, I still got the same error. I can't put more time on this, I got to work ;) I'll close the issue since you think the problem is on my side, I just can't figure out what's broken. Good day!

Hi, I had alerts for any PR or releases and I just wanted to let you know that it now builds without any issue on the git package. I'm pretty I haven't changed anything on my side and I have no idea if anything you did fixed this but now I can build it with Yay instead of manually building it from the repo.
Have a good day!
