GNOME 3.34 support about gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor HOT 11 CLOSED

@elvetemedve I agree that overall gnome shell extension development experience is awful but this extension just need a quick fix. You only need to change BaseMenuItem and all its subclass from es6 class to GoObject class and it'll work fine

I have prepared a new release for fixing this issue. It's under code review now.

from gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor.

The release went live.

I used the Alt + F2 and r command @elvetemedve suggested and that fixed for me. Thanks so much! I love this extension.

Hi @feimosi,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm also grad that you found this extension useful.

I plan to review the changes soon and make it compatible with the latest release.
Unfortunately GNOME development is terrible from an outsider point of view like myself. There is no easy way to test the extension in advance before a new release. I spent few hours to build Gnome from sources, but I gave up in the end. Another way would be running the next Gnome beta in a virtual machine. In additon to that they don't provide an API for Shell extensions, which means you can do anything you want in Javascript. Last time they had upgraded the Javascript/ECMA script version which led to broken code again.
So I decided to maintain the code, but stop adding new features or improvements. Rumors goes around Gnome 4 will get a significantly different software architecture compared to 3, meaning all extensions have to be re-created from scratch.

I don't have much free time nowadays, but will try to find a space for fixing that.

Just tried installing the new version, and it still fails for me. Arch Linux, Gnome 3.34.1. I'm not sure how to debug Gnome extensions, but LookingGlass to this SO shows following error:

TypeError: this.setIcon is not a function.

Hi @alexykot,
That's one of the error that this new release should fix. Probably the extension is not reloaded properly. Under Xorg session you can reload the Shell by Pressing Alt + F2 and enter the r (restart) command and run it. That will restart Gnome Shell and reload the extension. Under Wayland session you have to log out and log in again to restart it.

Worked for me after session restart.
Also, did the UI design change between this and earlier version? I no longer have the mini-charts in the status bar at the top (or was it another extension?).

from gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor.

@alexykot This extension never did that.
