Nothing happens when i click on the notification

[flobb]

Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome 3.36.8 (vanilla) on X11. I'm using Gnome Online account on my Gmail account. Chromium (the snap version) is the default application for website and mail.

When i have a new mail on Gmail, a notification appear. When i click on the notification, the notification disappears and nothing happens.

Expected behavior : When i click on the notification, Chromium open the Gmail website on the right mail. But I'm not sure the extension handles this?

This really doesn't work right. What you are seeing most likely is the default gnome pop up.

You want to check journalctl for logs on this.

me=$(id --user) journalctl _UID="$me" --since "1 hour ago"

You will see information regarding this extension if it is running. But to install it, simply placing extension in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] doesn't seem to work.

The way I got it installed and running -

1. Be sure to have the requirements.
2. Run "gnome-extensions list" to check what is installed.
3. Run "gnome-extensions install GmailMessageTrayshuming0207.gmail.com.v20.shell-extension.zip" to install it. You will most likely need to remove the folder from ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] before if its there.
4. Reboot (or restart gnome / gnome shell could work as well)
5. Now run gnome-extensions list. You should see it listed. From here the plugin works as expected.

Unfortunately it gets removed randomly. You will see all the errors in journalctl. Not sure why. journalctl shows it crash right before.

I personally gave up on it and using a browser extension instead for checking gmail. However I was having the same issue as you and it wasn't until I installed it via gnome-extensions that I got it working (intermittently).
