" No JS module 'workspaceAnimation' " error on gnome 3.36

[seqwalt]

System: Ubuntu 20.04.5, gnome 3.36.8, X11

Issue: Using the manual linux method with release v7.3, the button to enable wsmatrix extension cannot be turned on. I click it but nothing happens. The command gnome-extensions prefs wsmatrix@martin.zurowietz.de opens the wsmatrix settings, but wsmatrix is still not enabled.

Log: The error message is No JS module 'workspaceAnimation' found in search path. The relevant part of the journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell command is:

My preferences:

• I'd like to avoid upgrading gnome if possible, since I don't think Ubuntu 20.04 has any officially supported gnome PPA updates. I would just be worried about messing up my system somehow.
• An older version of wsmatrix works, but I'd like to update to v7.3 to use the new features.

Thanks for the help and this awesome extension!

You have to use v4 of this extension for GNOME 3.36. The new features of this extension are only available for new versions of GNOME, too.

Understood, thanks for the clarification.
