Description Erik M Jacobs 2023-12-17 21:31:31 UTC
workrave-gnome-1.10.51.1-3.fc39.x86_64
workrave-1.10.51.1-3.fc39.x86_64
gnome-shell-45.2-1.fc39.x86_64

The workrave-gnome package includes the Gnome extension, which provides the applet that shows the workrave status in the status bar in the notifications area. When looking at the extensions in the Gnome extensions window, the Workrave extension indicates, "The extension is incompatible with the current GNOME version."



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to use the extension

Actual Results:  
Shown incompatible

Expected Results:  
Hopefully compatible?

It looks like /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/workrave/metadata.json indicates the supported versions. It's unclear whether it actually does not work (truly incompatible) or not. I have modified that file and will restart Gnome and see if that workaround... works.

Comment 1 Erik M Jacobs 2023-12-17 21:37:42 UTC
Channging the metadata.json simply introduced a new error:
"import declarations may only appear at top level of a module"

So it appears that the Gnome extension is, indeed, incompatible with Gnome 45.
