Just not working, but no errors in looking glass

[artfulrobot]

I have a machine running Ubuntu 20.04 + Gnome + Xorg. This extension was originally working but then stopped. I've tried reinstalling from both gnome extensions website and from apt-get. Each method results in an extension I can toggle-on in Tweaks, but nothing happens when I do.

Specifically, the computer is running Nextcloud desktop which requires an app indicator to work.

I went to looking glass with Alt-F2 lg and clicked on Show Errors for this ext and it said it has not generated any errors.

I'm really at a loss as to how to debug this, so I'd be grateful for anytips. I have other machines running the same stack and it works fine, but I just can't think what could be different about this troublesome one!

Thanks.

I confirm that recently the Nextcloud client icon is not visible on my up-to-date Fedora 36 system any more as well.

Ah, going back to v42 worked.

I think the error might be related to 5ebb018 and #374 but that patch applied alone to v46 did not work.

Fingers crossed v47 works!

Gah! I'm unable to stop machines auto-upgrading the extension, so installing an old version has not fixed the problem. Any news on when v47 (or 46.x) might be released?

I fixed it by running this in a terminal, log out and log in afterwards:

search="domain.replaceAll(' ', '-');"
replace="domain.replaceAll ? domain.replaceAll(' ', '-') : domain.split(' ').join('-');"

sed "s/$search/$replace/" -i ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/util.js

The above simulates this commit 5ebb018

@ionutbortis, it's works! Thanks!

@ionutbortis yes, that's better, I suppose as then it will think it's on the latest 46 version and won't overwrite the source code.

Thanks for sharing.
