Consider using dconf module #13

Closed radek-sprta closed 1 year ago

radek-sprta commented 2 years ago

Hello, I think it might be worth considering using the dconf module (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/dconf_module.html) over command. It seams to work better at least in some cases. The following fails with customize_gnome

gnome_dconf:
- key: /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout                                                                                                                       
  value: "'close,minimize,maximize:'"

returning

error: 0-5:unknown keyword

But it works fine, when using dconf module.

Hi @radek-sprta - thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, using that module seems like a nicer way forward. However, this also implies some more dependencies (as in: the community collection). I'll dive into it.

I was having a few issues with the dconf aspect of the module too. When installing extensions sync, the gnome_dconf didn't like me submitting the github-gist-id and git-hub-user-token

Hi @radek-sprta - I've implemented the 'native' dconf module, and your example now works (again). Please see version 0.2.8.

Thanks for your suggestion!

It's working perfectly with all my dconf settings now. Thanks for the work!
