Update for 3.2.0? #2

Closed rrthomas closed 12 years ago

rrthomas commented 12 years ago

Sorry, I don't know much about gnome-shell extensions as I'm new to GNOME 3, but I just tried making this extension work by changing 3.1.90 to 3.2.0 in metadata.json, and all I got was a note in gnome-tweak-tool saying "Error loading extension".

rrthomas commented 12 years ago

Actually, although there's an error message, the extension still loads and works! This is great, but of course it would be better if it didn't give an error in gnome-tweak-tool, and if it was possible to enable and disable it (at present, I assume because of the error, the enable/disable toggle is greyed out).

rrthomas, I've been playing around with gnome-shell 3.2 this weekend and I didn't come across with any error. Could you please post the concrete error?

I'm updating metadata,json right now to support gnome-shell 3.2 :]

rrthomas commented 12 years ago

The concrete error is that the screen goes black, and my desktop disappears the first time I press Alt+Tab.

Looking at the code, it seems a configuration dialog is supposed to come up the first time the extension is used; have you tried removing your configuration and running the extension "for the first time" under 3.2.0?

rcmorano commented 12 years ago

Hmm Reuben, are you sure the message is coming from my extension?

My extension is not supposed to launch any "first time" message. Even, it does not have any configuration file (nor generates it) AFAIK.

Could you please attach any screenshot?

rrthomas commented 12 years ago

I'm terribly sorry, I'm confusing your extension with a completely different extension. The crash and first-time dialog are from that extension.

The exact error I had from gnome-tweak-tool for your extension was as I said the first time. I'm sorry, I can't see an easy way to attach a screenshot, but it is very easy to see:

  1. Install your extension.
  2. Launch gnome-tweak-tool.
  3. Go to Shell Extensions panel.

Note that "gnome-shell-gnome2-notifications Extension" has a warning sign next to the on-off toggle. The toggle itself is greyed out. If I hover over the warning sign, the message "Error loading extension" is displayed. However, the extension appears to work all the same.

I hope that makes the problem clear, finally! Apologies again for the confusion.

You are right Reuben. In gnome-shell 3.2 enabling/disabling the extension is not working, but in 3.1.90 it is.

I have to look into the problem to know if it's a problem of my extension itself or it is a gnome-shell bug.

Thank you for help :]

In 3.2.1 still there is a note in gnome-tweak-tool.
