RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

What information is needed for this issue?

I am seeing the same error on RHEL 8.2:
Jul 16 13:50:59 <hostname> gnome-shell[2891]: Some code accessed the property 'AuthList' on the module 'authList'. That property was defined with 'let' or 'const' inside the module. This was previously supported, but is not correct according to the ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported from a module must be defined with 'var'. The property access will work as previously for the time being, but please fix your code anyway.

> What information is needed for this issue?

None, there's a patch in the first comment.
Comment 6 Florian Müllner 2020-07-30 13:38:33 UTC 
This was already fixed as part of #1751121.
Comment 7 mertensb.mazda 2020-07-31 12:09:01 UTC 
Bug #1751121 mentions version gnome-shell-3.28.3-29.el7.

The version of RHEL8 is gnome-shell-3.32.2-14.el8.x86_64.
I am still seeing this error on RHEL8:
[root@rh8desktop-1 ~]# journalctl -b | grep -i "authlist"

This was previously supported, but is not correct according to the ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported from a module must be defined with 'var'.

This with all current updates installed.
Comment 8 Michael Catanzaro 2020-07-31 12:39:52 UTC 
It's not fixed in RHEL 8. I reported bug #1860946 for that.
Comment 9 Michael Catanzaro 2020-07-31 12:40:16 UTC 
(It really is fixed in upcoming RHEL 7.9. This is the RHEL 7 bug.)
