First time installation of `qtile-git` from the AUR fails

See original GitHub issue
FAILED test_widget_init_config[1-x11-ImapWidget-kwargs28]
FAILED test_widget_init_config[1-wayland-ImapWidget-kwargs28] 

2 failed, 1192 passed, 41 skipped in 942.51s (0:15:42)

I am on Manjaro and use Qtile on X11 (Nvidia thanks). Finally my Manjaro distribution updated python-wlroots, so I was able to build Qtile from Git. But it does not complete build process, because 2 tests fail. I include the messages at the end of the output as a file, after the tests. Also here basic information about my system with a fetch program:

That’s it, exactly as you said! I removed it with pip3 and logout+login. Now i get “0.20.1.dev69+g52ac53bf” for qtile --version. And no bugs anymore and MonadThreeCol works. I’ll close now, this time for real. Thank you guys for taking your time.

I did wonder if you had a local version installed too. You must have cloned the repo and done pip install . at some point.

The one installed via pamac should be in /usr/bin but you’re probably running the local one.

Remove the local installation and you should be ok.
