Testing extension without a display #186

Closed aminvakil closed 11 months ago

aminvakil commented 3 years ago

I maintain this extension in https://github.com/aminvakil/aur and wanted to try testing basic stuff before deploying it to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-workspace-matrix/, so I tried executing

gnome-extensions enable wsmatrix@martin.zurowietz.de

after the package has been built and obviously I got this error:

(gnome-extensions enable:3205): dconf-WARNING **: 05:59:38.418: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY

More info: https://github.com/aminvakil/aur/runs/3728812829?check_suite_focus=true#step:12:10

What do you suggest for fixing this? Or do you have any ideas testing it another efficient way?

Sorry, no idea. I had a quick look at how GNOME Shell is tested but this didn't help. Also I experimented with xvfb in a Ubuntu Docker container (apt install --no-install-recommends xvfb gnome-shell dbus-x11 and then xvfb-run gnome-shell --x11) but this disn't work either. gnome-extensions enable works then but you don't get any error message if there is an error in the extension. Maybe you can find out more.

No problem at all! Thanks for taking a look at this! I couldn't make it work either, if that's fine let's keep this issue open, and see if someone else had any other idea.

I'll close this since no one showed up in two years. Please let me know if you want this reopened.

It's ok, I'll let you know if I found something later, thanks again!
