ℹ Environment / Computer Info

- Spotify version: spicetify-cli-git 2.36.11.r5.ge23e0f2-1
- Spicetify version: spotify 1:1.2.40.599-1

Installed with paru from the AUR.

📝 Description

Launching spicetify gives the below "Something went wrong" error.

Things I tried:

• spicetify restore backup
• spicetify update and spicetify upgrade (both failed because I installed it from AUR so it didn't have permissions)
• spicetify backup apply
• spicetify clear

Spotify works fine after restoring.

v2.36.11 is not latest version of spicetify. v2.36.13 fixed this issue for Spotify 1.2.40

Ah, something must have gone wrong with paru or the AUR package's PKGBUILD. I tried upgrading and reinstalling spicetify multiple times and each time it upgraded to 2.36.11, so I assumed I was on the latest version.

I deleted the ~/.cache/paru/clone/spicetify-cli-git folder and upgraded it again through paru, now it works fine.

Thanks for the quick support!

I recommend using spicetify-cli and not spicetify-cli-git in the prod. Git repo can always have something broken and is not really intended for daily usage, but it's up to you ofc. spicetify-cli is updated as soon as we make a release because of hooked up update process

That's ok, I like using git versions of packages so I can help investigate and fix potential issues with the repo before a release is made ;)
