Extension doesn't work with 3.34.5 #50

Hi:

I'm using Fedora 31 + GNOME 3.34.6 and GNOME Shell 3.34.5 and with xinput installed and X11 session:

gnome-shell-3.34.5-1.fc31.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-32.fc31.x86_64

The extension doesn't work any more.

I've followed your instructions for installing the last version from sources:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt; git clone --depth=1 "https://github.com/user501254/TouchpadIndicator.git" ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt;

After relauching GNOME Shell trying to activate the extension gives an error. The log error provided by the Extensions application is:

TypeError: this.pointingDevices.filter is not a function

Stack trace:
  _filterByType@/home/olea/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt/xinput.js:171:43

Now I have permanently disabled touchpad and trackpad and only can work with a mouse. Previously it worked fine, probably broke after updating some application but I can't provide the detail.

I would be happy to just recover the trackpad/touchpad use without the extension but I don't know how. I tried this but with no success:

$ xinput list|grep Synaptics ⎜ ↳ Synaptics TM2937-001 id=13 [slave pointer (2)] $ xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 1

Mandatory system details (please complete/update the following information)

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

    ↳ Sleep Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]

    ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons                    id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]

Thanks in advance.

Please note the output for gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt/schemas list-recursively org.gnome.shell.extensions.touchpad-indicator and post it here.

Next, remove the extension using rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt; and restart the GNOME Shell (use shortcut or logout and log back in)

To enable the touchpad try using gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events enabled. This changes the system's settings controlling the touchpad. Then retry the xinput set-prop $ID "Device Enabled" 1 command using the correct device id from xinput --list.

Also, try installing the version from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/131/touchpad-indicator/ and let me know in case you face the same issue. The GitHub version have had some recent changes that might not work well with older systems.

Reinstalled from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/131/touchpad-indicator/

Now it works as expected, but needed to restart the session. The GNOME Shell «r» restart didn't worked for some reason.

Thank you!
