Extension not installed after switch on

[waldyd]

Hello,

After switch on the control on https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/162/todo-list/, the extension is not being installed. (fedora 4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64)

Gnome Version:

• Version: 2.32.0
• Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
• Build Date: 17/06/15

gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.18.3

I'm having the same issue on Fedora 23

[bsaleil]

This extension only works with Gnome-Shell <= 3.16.
I have no idea what are the changes of the API from 3.16 to 3.18, and as usual with a new GS version, there may be little code to write or the entire extension to rewrite to support new version.
I do not use Gnome anymore so I can't work on the extension at the moment.

I confirm the same issue at Fedora23
Gnome Shell Versión 3.18.2

@bsaleil any hint to install manually and debug it ?

[bsaleil]

Cloning repo in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ should do the work.
Don't forget to rename the folder "[email protected]".
Then reload the shell (type "r" in the window opened when you hit Alt+f2)
The extension should now be available in gnome-tweak-tool.

All warnings and errors messages are available in session log messages. You can read those messages in a distribution using systemd with the journalctl command.

[bsaleil]

Should be fixed soon for 3.20 (see #41).
The extension seems to work fine with 3.20 without any change (except for metadata).
Can somebody using 3.18 test it by changing only version in metadata ?

[hm1rafael]

Using 3.18.5, still not working.

[bsaleil]

@hm1rafael, what did you try ? Did you try to change version information in metadata to 3.18 ?

[jfjallid]

@bsaleil, I followed your instructions to clone & rename the repo, update the metadata to include version 3.22 and reload the shell. After that I could find and enable it it the gnome-tweak-tool extension list and it seems to work perfectly for me :)

[qmenoret]

Working great on gnome 3.18.5 when cloning and updating metadata.json manually.

[davegregg]

#46 adds the metadata fix for gnome-shell versions 3.18, 3.22, and 3.24

Just tried to install and it failed. I'm Gnome shell 3.24.2 on Arch 4.11.9-1.

Any suggestions before I pop open the hood and trace it down? I've written a simple extension before but my knowledge of the API is very limited.

I'm getting the following error:
TypeError: redeclaration of formal parameter iter

@pringlized You can workaround the issue by installing the latest version of the extension from this repo.

1. Remove the Gnome Shell Extension store version from your extensions folder (mine is ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/) -- it should be called [email protected].

2. Clone this repo to the extensions folder.

3. Rename the todolist-gnome-shell-extension folder to [email protected].

4. Restart your shell or logoff/logon.

Thanks Dave!

I followed your instructions and it works like a charm. Elegant in it's simplicity. Thanks again.

[bsaleil]

Thanks @davegregg, I added the manual installation instructions to the readme
