Re: GLib doesn't find the ui resource

[Mariusz W <mawasak gmail com>]

Hi,

I can tell from C API perspective.

When you are using gtk-builder-add-from-resource (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkBuilder.html#gtk-builder-add-from-resource) system is looking for path from resource file compiled by glib-compile-resources (https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/glib-compile-resources.html)

Format for resource file is in https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GResource.html

e.g. (in this case path is "data/splashscreen.png" - it is not real file only path to resource in compiled file - this path is use in call to gtk-builder-add-from-resource)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gresources>
  <gresource prefix="/org/gtk/Example">
    <file>data/splashscreen.png</file>
    <file compressed="true">dialog.ui</file>
    <file preprocess="xml-stripblanks">menumarkup.xml</file>
  </gresource>
</gresources>

It you want to load real ui (created by glade) file from filestystem you shoud use gtk-builder-add-from-file
 (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkBuilder.html#gtk-builder-add-from-file).

Maybe in python you should use another method from api therefore,

Hello list,

i have written some ui files which are compiled through make [1]. I
installed the compiled file in /usr/share/gnome-publisher.

Also i used this lines to add stuff from the resource:
builder = Gtk.Builder()

builder.add_from_resource("/org/gnome/Publisher/ui/main_intro.ui") [2]

But if i'm running my app, i'm getting:

/home/sascha/PycharmProjects/gnome-publisher/.env/bin/python3
/home/sascha/PycharmProjects/gnome-publisher/bin/gnome-publisher
Traceback (most recent call last):

    builder.add_from_resource('/org/gnome/Publisher/gtk/app_menu.ui')
GLib.Error: g-resource-error-quark: The resource at

GLib.Error: g-resource-error-quark: The resource at
“/org/gnome/Publisher/ui/main_intro.ui” does not exist (0)

But where the GLib searches for the file?
