Extension doesn't work in GNOME Shell 40.beta

jdoss commented 3 years ago

Trying to use the extension on Fedora 34 results in the following stack trace. gpaste-daemon and gpaste-ui work well.

$ gnome-shell --version

Gtk4 port is in progress

Keruspe commented 3 years ago

Might be a little late for the official gnome 40 release but I hope to release it before April

Keruspe commented 3 years ago

Hum, now I'm very puzzled.

Is it just about the preferences, or is it about the whole extension?

I get the exact opposite message for the extension with my gtk4 port.

For me, it currently fails with

Error: No property margin on GPasteSettingsUiWidget

When attempting to open preferences. Though I had to change mutter-clutter-7 in configure.ac to mutter-clutter-8.

Keruspe commented 3 years ago

@jtojnar yes that's "normal", haven't fixed this part yet.

But, this whole bug report, is it only for the preferences, or for the whole extension?

Keruspe commented 3 years ago

Long story short:

gnome-shell doesn't support extensions using gtk4, only gtk3
gnome-shell extension tool for prefs doesn't support extensions using gtk3, only gtk4
GPaste shares a library between all its tools (including the extension and the prefs tool)
A library cannot use both gtk3 and gtk4 at the same time
GPaste used to have several libraries to avoid this kind of issues, but they have been merged as per debian packagers request, amongst other things.

I will release GPaste 3.40.0 really soon, with only a few differences from 3.38, with a placeholder for the extension preferences.

I will release a proper GPaste 40.0 during the summer.
