Dash-to-panel: Error: Expected type interface for Argument 'file' but got type 'undefined'

[alex285]

on GNOME 3.35.3 (actually master, but that error was happening on 3.35.3 release too)

JS ERROR: Extension [email protected]: Error: Expected type interface for Argument 'file' but got type 'undefined'

now i opened the issue, i actually looked on the code and noticed it checks for Ubuntu Dock, that i had installed but disabled, so i removed the Ubuntu Dock, the extension loads now, however it crashes when we open the overview

i get those message from Journal, because i cant restart restart Shell from within session for some reason and see the console output

Hey alex285! I added a fix to master for the PanelCorner warning, but how did you get gnome 3.53.3 on Ubuntu? I'd like to install that to reproduce the file issue. Thanks!

[alex285]

hello @charlesg99! i didn't use Ubuntu, i used Fedora and: https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/tree/ubuntu-dock; btw i didn't try yet your patch so i leave it open, i will check later (gonna work anyway!) thank you!!

[alex285]

a new error, but just to remind you im running GNOME Shell from master (not the 3.35.3 in Fedora)

JS ERROR: TypeError: this._scrollAdjustment is undefined

and when you're entering overview it freezes on that screen

Hey Alex, I tried to update my Rawhide installation twice to 3.35.90 but ended with a broken system both times :(

Do you have any pointers on how to get a 3.35.90 install working? Thanks!

[alex285]

i wanted to update you because there are more issues than this, but i thought to wait for you to try on Rawhide and 3.35.90; im not sure about whats crashing, but try to skip GDM, and start GNOME with "startx" from TTY

i have built Shell/Mutter from master, i dont use Rawhide packages ..and btw living so much time without Dash to Panel ..wow :'(

[charlesg99]

Hey Alex, finally got a Rawhide image that installed correctly. I could reproduce the issue you mentionned (this._scrollAdjustment is undefined) and pushed some adjustments for 3.35.90. Could you please try it and let us know if you find other issues? Thanks!

[charlesg99]

I tried installing the ubuntu-dock from the dash-to-dock repo, but I can't get it to enable correctly on 3.35.90 (I get a TypeError: appIconPrototype._onLeaveEvent is undefined error).

After trying to enable ubuntu-dock, I can reproduce the Expected type interface for Argument 'file' but got type 'undefined' error, but I think it's because ubuntu-dock can't enable correctly and its stylesheet isn't loaded.

Did you observe something different? Thanks!

[alex285]

hello, all working fine now on DtP and thanks!! DtD isn't loading anymore, so i guess they need to port it on 3.36!! im closing this, and open a new issue if i find something! thanks again!!

I've removed ubuntu-dock extension, but does not help.

sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

Should I open a new issue?

I'm using Ubuntu 19.10, GNOME Shell 3.34.3

@jgrocha what version of dash to panel are you running? (It can be found in the Settings, About tab)

[jgrocha]

@jderose9 Dash-to-Panel version: 33

Meanwhile I've reinstalled everything and it works again. Let's keep this issue closed. Thank you for the feedback @jderose9
