This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1805920
I am copying this bug because it applies to RHEL 8.2 as well.
Description of problem:
The new '"hasOverview": false' feature is causing errors in gnome extensions. For example...
In RHEL 7.8
- login as gnome session and gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock will load and is usable
- login as gnome classic session and extension gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock fails to load.
If I force downgrade gnome-classic-session-3.28.1-11.el7.noarch.rpm to gnome-classic-session-3.28.1-7.el7.noarch.rpm it appears again.
Something has been modified in gnome-classic-session which prevents this extension from loading.
Lets have a look, the error does not throw up anything of use.
Feb 20 04:27:18 localhost.localdomain gnome-shell[5259]: JS WARNING: [/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/dash-to-dock.github.com/docking.js 322]: reference to undefined property "viewSelector"
Feb 20 04:27:18 localhost.localdomain gnome-shell[5259]: Extension "dash-to-dock.github.com" had error: TypeError: Main.overview.viewSelector is undefined
Comparing old vs new bundles of gnome-classic-session we see the following.
Caused by this new "feature"
"hasOverview": false
Changing this to true an dash to dock loads again.
This has been working through all releases of 7x, this is a regression.
