Error loading extension #47

Closed cyrilf closed 2 years ago

cyrilf commented 2 years ago

Since the last updates from yesterday (16/02) and v13, this extension is in error state with the following message: "Error loading extension".

I'm using GNOME Shell 3.36.9 and extension version 13. Before that it was always working (and a huge thanks for that!)

Let me know if you need more info/log (and how to find them).

Thanks!

I would bet on https://github.com/wbolster/nothing-to-say/pull/37, but @BenignBeppe claimed it tested it with 3.36.9, so maybe #43. You may check journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell to see the error (and a stack trace).

Thanks for the journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell tip.

It helped me find this issue which had the same error message as I did (on a different extension).

Deleting the extension and then rebooting my laptop (as suggested in this comment) solved my issue.

It now works seemlessly.. :tada: Thanks for your reactivity! :sparkles:

What type of info? I don't know what type how I can find it. Please say me I don't know to much about gnome yet.

cyrilf commented 2 years ago

@juanriqu For your info, what I did was:

remove the extension (click on the red cross on the gnome extension website)
run journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell on a terminal
install the extension again
look at the error being displayed on the terminal

Update: I re-ran into the same issue just now. The logs are

I have a problem with update this week (14~18 Feb 2022) because a new dependency added to project

@cyrilf

reboot before doing anything below
open a terminal, run $ journalctl -b -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell
open the extensions UI, enable the extension
watch the output and check what error is reported
