Preferences Window Error #52

Closed dagimg-dot closed 1 month ago

dagimg-dot commented 1 month ago

After scaffolding the extension I went to the preferences page for the extension and got the following error with stacktrace.

The settings of extension hello@example.com had an error:
TypeError: Object 0x3d2713f11770 is not a subclass of GObject_Object, it's a Promise

Caused by: Error: This JS object wrapper isn't wrapping a GObject. If this is a custom subclass, are you sure you chained up to the parent _init properly?

Ah, I made the functions async in the TypeScript template which is only supported in the upcoming GNOME version (47). Weirdly, I did it correctly in the JS template.

So you can just remove the async from the method in the prefs.js file.

But yeah, I do need to add versioning (https://github.com/Leleat/create-gnome-extension/issues/6) to the project. While generally the API for GNOME extensions system doesn't change, it defintely is needed for the types.
