$ vimb --bug-info
Version:         3.7.0
WebKit compile:  2.40.2
WebKit run:      2.40.4
GTK compile:     3.24.38

libsoup compile: 3.4.2
libsoup run:     3.4.2
Extension dir:   /usr/lib/vimb

Steps to reproduce

Perhaps:

Not entirely known. Running fine having installed on artix, but after installing badwolf and wyebadblock, which I believe pulled in webkit2gtk, I get the following error, resulting in webview crashing.

I've included the whole console output, though I think the initial warnings are unrelated.

I'm using artix with wayland and dwl as the compositor. xwayland is also installed.

$ vimb

Expected behaviour

vimb to use wbkit2gtk-4.1 even if webkit2gtk is also installed, and for webview to run fine.

Actual behaviour

vimb appears to use an older version of webkit2gtk if present, which I believe uses libsoup2 instead of libsoup3; webview crashes.

Notes

This felt like it could be related to issue 708, but that was solved with PR 727.

I thought the issue was that vimb was not using webkit2gtk-4.1, but while writing this report, I can see it should be - it depends on it and it is installed - but it seems it is not prioritising it over older versions.

This looks to be supported by the output from vimb --bug-info.

Did you use wyebadblock compiled for webkit2gtk-4.1? In my ebuild for it I compile it for 4.1 https://github.com/jjakob/gentoo-overlay/blob/master/www-misc/wyebadblock/wyebadblock-1.0.0_p20230212.ebuild

@jjakob Cheers! This was exactly what I needed. Turns out I had also poorly read both the README of wyebadblock and the comments in the AUR.

Altered the PKGBUILD, recompiled and all is well with the world again.

Much appreciated.
