When I update gnome to 3.34, gnome tweak complaint that this extension is out of date.

You need to compile it from source, then it works. (at least for me)

git clone https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock.git
make
make install

After that you just need to reload you shell. (If you use XOrg you can just Alt + F2 > r or on wayland just relog.)

If you are on Arch you can try the AUR package too

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock/

@drakkan The AUR version doesn't work for me. GNOME 3.34, Arch Linux.

@Cysioland this is strange, it works fine here and I think for several other users too.

Can you please paste the error? Do you have another version installed in .local directory or such?

@drakkan The AUR version doesn't work for me. GNOME 3.34, Arch Linux.

The AUR version worked for me(Gnome 3.34, Arch Linux default repo instead of testing repo).

If you have installed AUR version before, remember to clean build or remove the previous cached package, especially when you use some package manager like yay.

Also, delete the one that is installed under ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/.
