Fix this._watchDog can be undefined

Open QuentiumYT opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Having the issue sometimes since I installed it, I found that when deactivating and reactivating cause the extension to crash with this._watchDog is undefined. Just check if this._watchDog is set before accessing its values

Do you have a JS trace in the case of this._watchDog being undefined?

Actually no, but I can rebuilt it from main and send it. As I remember, it was triggered on disable / reenable and a few other cases. But there wasn't a lot of details in the error

Done, do you want me to still send the JS error log?

I'd be curious, to see if we can figure out also the root reason for this.

I wasn't able to reproduce, very strange. I might have a clue, I have 4 sessions for the desktop environment:

  • Ubuntu on xorg
  • Ubuntu on wayland
  • Gnome on xorg
  • Gnome on wayland

And one day, it switched but I did nothing. It broke almost all extensions (unable to activate them) and this error was thrown when enabling this extension.

I should mention as well that I build glib from source which might lead to some issues. Because I know gio is a bit broken on my laptop (btw if you have enough knowledge to exchange about that ^^) but seems to work fine after I changed a whole number of things

PS: yeah I know, I like to play with fire building a lot of things from source haha, but I enjoy doing that :)
