Gjs promises on Gio.File operations don't work anymore after upgrading libglib2.0-0 2.67.5-2 to 2.68.0-1 (and indicator-multiload app broke)

The errors seems to be coming from gnome-shell-extension-appindicator there, do you still get the issue using https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/35-1 ?

Unfortunately I still got the same problem with gnome-shell-extension-appindicator 35-1 installed.

I don't think that this will be related to gnome-shell-extension-appindicator because I'm also getting this error message every boot and it that seems to be the same problem in a different app and not related to indicators:

abr 21 19:25:19 fprietog-VirtualBox gnome-shell[1361]: JS ERROR: TypeError: method Gio.File.delete_async: At least 3 arguments required, but only 2 passed

_makeEaseCallback/<@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/environment.js:85:13
_easeActor/<@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/environment.js:168:64

I can assure that with libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-bin and libglib2.0-data version 2.67.5-2 it works, but with version to 2.68.0-1 it doesn't.

The problem is in gjs, and is fixed by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/commit/ec9385b89cb2bce0615093c3c957cbbb5ea6b769

Can be in fact be something a bit more problematic here, as any extension using Gio.File promises won't work.

The shell will be affected in a limited way.

Hello fprietog, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gjs into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/1.67.2-2ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Hello Brian,

Just tested arm64 build; updated these packages:

- gjs_1.67.2-2ubuntu2_arm64.deb

fprietog@fpgrpi:~$ apt-cache policy gjs
gjs:
  Instalados: 1.67.2-2ubuntu2

fprietog@fpgrpi:~$ apt-cache policy libgjs0g

And, after reboot, the problem reported is solved:

1./ Test case:
fprietog@fpgrpi:~$ gjs -c "imports.gi.Gio._promisify(imports.gi.Gio._LocalFilePrototype, 'delete_async', 'delete_finish');
   print(imports.gi.Gio.File.new_for_path('/').delete_async(0, null));" && echo GJS works
[object Promise]
GJS works

2./ The error shown in every boot as also gone.

3./ The indicator-multiload app now is working as expected

I'll test amd64 build when available.

Just tested amd64 packages with the same results than arm64: problem is solved.

Thanks and best regards.

BTW: as I said the problem is solved with the proposed builds.

So, the indicator-multiload app is working as expected. But I just realized that is throwing another messages at its start, messages that it's not throwing in Ubuntu 20.10 groovy. These are the messages:

Forget about the messages that I show in the previous post: it seems that this problem is also happening in Ubuntu 20.10 groovy and are unrelated to the original bug. I didn't realize these messages before because in groovy these messages are way less informative than in hirsute. In groovy it only show:

abr 23 02:45:40 fpglinux gnome-shell[1730]: value "nan" of type 'gfloat' is invalid or out of range for property 'x' of type 'gfloat'
abr 23 02:45:40 fpglinux gnome-shell[1730]: value "nan" of type 'gfloat' is invalid or out of range for property 'y' of type 'gfloat'
abr 23 02:45:40 fpglinux gnome-shell[1730]: value "-inf" of type 'gfloat' is invalid or out of range for property 'width' of type 'gfloat'
abr 23 02:45:40 fpglinux gnome-shell[1730]: value "-inf" of type 'gfloat' is invalid or out of range for property 'height' of type 'gfloat'

So it's probably happening since ages...

Thank you very much for the quick fix and happy releasing.

This bug was fixed in the package gjs - 1.67.2-2ubuntu2

---------------
gjs (1.67.2-2ubuntu2) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * debian/{control,gbp.conf}: Use ubuntu specifics
  * debian/patches: Ensure Gio will use valid LocalFilePrototype (LP: #1923267)

Finally will the fix be released for Hirsute? Seems that it has been moved form Hirsute (Proposed) to Impish.

The package is waiting in the SRU queue https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hirsute/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=gjs you may ask in #ubuntu-release to speed it up :)

Hello fprietog, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gjs into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/1.68.1-1~ubuntu0.21.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Proposed fix tested in hirsute on a Raspberry Pi4 arm64 and on an PC amd64.

Packages installed from hirsute-proposed:

libgjs0g (1.68.1-1~ubuntu0.21.04.1)
gjs (1.68.1-1~ubuntu0.21.04.1)

And, after reboot, do those tests:

1./ Test case:
gjs -c "imports.gi.Gio._promisify(imports.gi.Gio._LocalFilePrototype, 'delete_async', 'delete_finish');
   print(imports.gi.Gio.File.new_for_path('/').delete_async(0, null));" && echo GJS works
[object Promise]
GJS works

2./ The error shown in every boot is gone.

3./ The indicator-multiload app is working as expected

So the bug seem to be fixed. Thanks and best regards.

The Hirsute Hippo has reached End of Life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release.
