[QA] Linux Overlay icon in Nemo not shown, plugin description missing

[jnweiger]

Seen in Linux Mint 20.1 with client 2.9.0-beta2

• sudo apt install owncloud-client owncloud-client-nemo
• start the client, connect to a server (without using vfs)
• start nemo in foreground, it reports that the plugin is loaded

$ nemo
Initializing ownCloud-client-nemo extension
Using python version sys.version_info(major=3, minor=8, micro=10, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
Nemo-Share-Message: 02:35:44.657: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

• check the right-click menu. The ownCloud submenu is there.
• The overlay icons on the folders and files are missing

Expected behavour: green checkmarks or circles overlayed on the icons.

What does the socket api provide on logs?

[jnweiger]

Ah, found the catch: Nemo has two checkboxes that both needs to be enabled. User has to enable both

• SyncStateExtension and
• MenuExtension

Per default only MenuExtension was enabled on my system. Can we auto-enable both during install?

[jnweiger]

Workaround: enabled SyncStateExtension manually -> now I have overlay icons

[jnweiger]

Two expectations according to @michaelstingl :

• [ ] Useful description text in with the plugins
• [ ] both plugin items enabled by default
