Re: Trouble finding GIR constructor for Soup.Cookie

[俞颐超 <yyc1992 gmail com>]

a similar problem is new GTop.glibtop_cpu() doesn't work but GTop.glibtop_mem() works well.

gjs> new imports.gi.GTop.glibtop_cpu()

Error: Unable to construct boxed type glibtop_cpu since it has no zero-args <constructor>, can only wrap an existing one

gjs> new imports.gi.GTop.glibtop_mem()

[object _private_GTop_glibtop_mem]

and this made us have to read directly from procfs instead of using glibtop in system-monitor-applet (extension)

have any idea about this?

Hi Jasper

Thanks for the feedback, I guess I'll have hold off on development of my Gnome Shell extension until these issues are resolved and updates pushed to an F15 repo. Any ideas when this might be?

I think(hope) thing will be better (and more stable) after gnome 3.2 is released in Sep.

 

Kind regards...

   The following is also crashing my Gnome Shell session despite being
   surrounded by a try...catch block:

               let cookieJar = new Soup.CookieJar();
               let cookie = Soup.Cookie.prototype.new('SID', this.sid,

   '.google.com <http://google.com>', '/', -1);

               cookieJar.add_cookie(cookie);
               session.add_feature(cookieJar);

   Any ideas why?


If it's what I think it is, it's an unfortunate bug between
gobject-introspection, gjs and libsoup. See, the API defines a few
properties called 'add-feature' and 'add-feature-by-type', designed for
the C API:

  g_object_new (SOUP_TYPE_SESSION,
"add-feature-by-type", SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_DEFAULT,
    NULL);

But this is interfering with gobject-introspection, and gjs is thinking
it's the property it wants when you do "session.add_feature".
Unfortunately, they don't give it a proper getter, so we get stuck with
a warning, and maybe a crash. See BGO bug #655149 [0] and bug #655150
[1] for details. Unfortunately, this isn't fixed yet: gjs doesn't care
about the typelib when looking for properties, it just looks them up on
the typeinfo. I have a quick patch, but it's probably best if it goes
into the girepository API proper.

   TIA...
