Extension just broke with today's upgrade on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

[recw]

Today I received an upgrade notification. Upon executing the upgrade the extension was disabled and I now cannot be enabled anymore. Instead of the on/off toggle switch on the gnome extensions web interface there is just a red ERROR label without any further information what went wrong. Removing and reinstalling the extension leads to the same ERROR label.

Is there any way to revert to the previous version of this extension?

have you tried rebooting? (serious question)

for example, i saw this myself after the upgrade:

May 13 16:12:45 xps-w-work gnome-shell[1278]: JS ERROR: Extension nothing-to-say@extensions.gnome.wouter.bolsterl.ee: Error: A different version was loaded previously. You need to log out for changes to take effect.
                                              loadExtension@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/extensionSystem.js:373:52
                                              _onInstallButtonPressed@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/extensionDownloader.js:267:35
                                              Async*addButton/<@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/dialog.js:132:41

also this needs log output (after reboot!), searching through journalctl --boot --user may help

ahh, nevermind :facepalm: The issue did indeed resolve after a reboot. My bad, should have tried the primary solution to all computer problems. However, I couldn't find any "JS ERROR" in the syslog. Anyway, thanks for the support and the great piece of software!

no errors in logs is actually good 🙃

requiring a restart when upgrading enabled extensions has a bit weird UX indeed, it should preferably just tell you to re-login
