Extension crashes after upgrading to v26

[nicocarbone]

Astra just upgraded and now it doesn't load in my Ubuntu 23.10 install. The extension manager says that the error is "Object 0x2f04cc7943e8 is not a subclass of GObject_Boxed, it's a Object".

See attached screenshot.

I need more details. Try to run apt show gnome-shell to check what's your exact gnome shell version. Also the details on that error could help a lot. Last but not least, could you provide the journalctl log of that crash? Thank you!

I'm currently away from my PC, if someone could try to insert this line to /utils/utils.js line number 33

        else if (type === 'json')
            Config.settings.set_string(key, JSON.stringify(value));

the result should be like this

        else if (type === 'number')
            Config.settings.set_double(key, value);
        else if (type === 'json')
            Config.settings.set_string(key, JSON.stringify(value));
        else
            Config.settings.set_value(key, value);

you should find the extension folder inside this path: ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

if someone of you is able to change that and confirm it's not crashing anymore I'm gonna issue a new release as soon as I can put my hands on my PC.

Thank you!

Sorry if I am doing something wrong, but I no see a utils folder in my extension folder:

Thank you everyone for reporting this, I was able to reproduce the bug, the issue was indeed the line I suggested to add:

        else if (type === 'json')
            Config.settings.set_string(key, JSON.stringify(value));

Wait for extensions.gnome.org to approve it or manually add the line above.

@nicocarbone the file is inside src/utils/utils.js (line number 33), i forgot to mention src folder before, sorry!

Another way to temporarily solve this issue is to manually delete the key /org/gnome/shell/extensions/astra-monitor/processor-menu-gpu if you have dconf editor or you are practical with dconf/gsettings. note: you'll have to manually set your GPU in Astra Monitor settings after this.

EDIT: The update is live on extensions.gnome.org so you should be able to update to the bugfree version already.
