List of extensions to install

[yochananmarqos]

I created a new layout called "test" and hit apply. Where is it getting this list of extensions from? I do not have any of them installed currently, but I have in the past:

If it makes a difference, all extensions are installed in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and there are none installed in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

[emrecanaltinsoy]

this issue occurs when the extensions are removed without disabling them. these extensions stay enabled in /org/gnome/shell, even if they are not on the system.

[yochananmarqos]

Good grief. I'll have to see if I can find a related bug report, that's ridiculous. Do you know of any way to repopulate that key to get the current state?

[emrecanaltinsoy]

I changed it to overwrite the enabled-extensions key in the config file. Now it should work properly.

[yochananmarqos]

Now applying does nothing. There's no stdout or stderr, so it's a bit difficult to debug.

[emrecanaltinsoy]

It is probably because there is no change in the enabled/disabled extensions. I added a new messagebox to notify the changes are made.

[yochananmarqos]

The message box popped up generated a config, but there's still things in there from the old values.

It only overwrites the enabled-extensions key, since the app only reads that key from the config file to make changes.

[yochananmarqos]

Maybe reset the key and regenerate it before writing the config?

[emrecanaltinsoy]

it is now overwriting both keys.

[yochananmarqos]

I deleted the config folder before updating and it crashed creating a new layout:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnome-extensions-loader", line 121, in add_layout
    self.write_conf(text)

    raise NoSectionError(section) from None
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'extensions'
zsh: abort (core dumped)  gnome-extensions-loader

[emrecanaltinsoy]

Now it should work.

[yochananmarqos]

It does, but the generated config looks about the same. Still has values from extensions that are not installed.

[emrecanaltinsoy]

yes it's because the dconf keeps those values. I will remove those as well and only keep the ones that are on the system.

[emrecanaltinsoy]

I implemented this reading the path key in the extensions schema/xml file. It should be working now. If you see another problem, please create an issue. Thanks for your help.

[yochananmarqos]

favorite-apps has invalid desktop entries from removed applications.

I'm not sure what command-history has to do with anything.

disabled-extensions and enabled-extensions are correct now, though. Thanks! :+1:

dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/

dumps all these values. I will probably remove all the keys except enabled-extensions and disabled-extensions. I may even remove the disabled-extensions key, because it is not used by the app to install or enable/disable extensions.

[emrecanaltinsoy]

Removed the unnecessary keys from the conf files. Also, some extensions such as custom-hot-corners were not saved, fixed that issue as well. The main problem is some extensions do not follow the same template as the rest. If I encounter another issue regarding this, I will check it more.

[yochananmarqos]

The message box popped up generated a config

Off topic, but would you believe Pastebin removed that paste due to "abuse reports"? Apparently it's an automated system. I had to email them to get it restored. I didn't even know which paste it was they "quarantined" because they only provided the ID.
