This (mistakenly) now only depends on signals triggered on Wayland

repeatCount and autoReverse don't play well with animations disabled:
They cause password entries to wiggle themselves off-screen (by ending
up with some off-scale translation-x value).
While we should handle this more gracefully in the transition helpers,
it also makes sense to handle the case directly in wiggle(): As it
uses a chain of three transitions, we would still end up with a crude
one-frame-per-transition wiggle "animation".
Instead, do no animation at all as you would expect when animations are
disabled.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

The current support for extension updates is half-baked at best.

Since commit 87e60ed97843, geoclue no longer pretends that authorization

will never happen.
Unbreak it by only requiring authorization when installed as Flatpak.

It is true that delete is a javascript keyword, but that doesn't
prevent it from being used as method name - there are event built-in

now; just removed the hack now.

The whitelist is a list of well-known D-Bus names, which we then search

Fix this by watching the bus for any name in the whitelist in order

matching.

If the clock is set to 12h, the AM/PM in the weather forecast times

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.

ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the

In the xwayland-on-demand scenario, it may happen that Xwayland is
shutdown (causing a restart of ibus-daemon to drop ibus-x11) while
we are typing.
If we have a bit of bad luck, this will cause the IBusInputContext
to be disposed (due to its bus "closing") at a time when we have
an ibus_input_context_process_key_event_async() request on the fly.
As the object is disposed in between this would tickle JS (rightfully
complaining that it's been disposed under its feet) and make us pass
an actually NULL IBusInputContext to the corresponding _finish()
function (despite the IBusInputContext being still held alive by some
other refs). This will assert and abort in
ibus_input_context_process_key_event_async_finish() then.
To handle this, listen for IBusInputContext::destroy, and reset our
internal state, this way we can compare on the JS side that the
IBusInputContext is indeed an up-to-date one.

xgettext got better at recognizing template strings, so we can
replace more string concatenations. Alas xgettext is still buggy

The shell tries to spawn the ibus daemon on startup if unavailable, however
as per commit 8adfc5b1 we also force restarting it once the X11 server is
available.
Unfortunately this could cause a race if we disconnect while we were already
connected to an ibus daemon, but still in the process of going through the
various nested calls.
In fact the ::disconnect callback didn't stop any further async ibus call
that, even if failing, would have eventually triggered the emission of a
'ready' signal and to the Keyboard's callback, leading under X11 to a full
grab owned by ibus daemon.
In order to avoid this and keep control of the calls order, use in both
IbusManager and InputMethod a cancellable that is setup before connecting to
the bus, and that is cancelled on disconnection.
Then handle the finish() calls properly, using try/catch to validate the
returned value, taking in account the potential error and just not
proceeding in case of cancellation.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1712
gnome-shell calls ibus_input_context_focus_in() in InputMethod.focus_in()
but the event is not actually forwarded to panels and engines in GNOME
Wayland because gnome-shell changes IBus.Capabilite by focus events and
disables IBus.Capabilite.FOCUS when ibus_input_context_focus_in() is called.
IBus.Capabilite is assumed a fixed value per input context in the
first place and it should not be changed by focus events.

As arrow functions have an implicit return value, an assignment of
this.foo = bar could have been intended as a this.foo === bar
comparison. To catch those errors, we will disallow these kinds
of assignments unless they are marked explicitly by an extra pair

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/731
We are currently inconsistent whether to put the operators in front
of the corresponding line or at the end of the preceding one. The
most dominant style for now is to put condition and first branch on
the same line, and then align the second branch:
let foo = condition ? fooValue
: notFooValue;
Unfortunately that's a style that eslint doesn't support, so to account
for it, our legacy configuration currently plainly ignores all indentation
in conditionals.
In order to drop that exception and not let messed up indentation slip
through, change all ternary operators to the non-legacy style.

We now do 2 things along Xwayland startup/shutdown:
- Start or stop the gnome-session-x11-services target, that will
pull all X11 related services that the session might depend on.
- As we start ibus-daemon manually, trigger a restart in order to
toggle the XIM daemon on and off along with Xwayland presence.

We may need to restart it with different arguments, so make it
possible to do that. Also, avoid to just restart it on _clear(),
this is now most likely through our --replace call than it is
through ibus-daemon eg. dying, avoids some noise in logs as
there is already an ongoing ibus-daemon.

When plugging in a device with sensors that are unsupported by
iio-sensor-proxy, the proxy may quit so fast that the name disappears
from the bus before we get to construct the SensorProxy in response
to the name-appeared handler, resulting in the following warning:
JS ERROR: TypeError: this._sensorProxy is null
_sensorProxyAppeared/this._sensorProxy<@resource:///org/gnome/shell/misc/systemActions.js:217:17
_makeProxyWrapper/</<@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/overrides/Gio.js:243:21
Address this by creating the proxy unconditionally instead of monitoring
the bus name, and using the g-name-owner property to determine whether
iio-sensor-proxy is active.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1357
GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed is also emitted when the name drops from
the bus, at which point any properties will be null. That's not a valid
gsettings value, so to avoid the corresponding warning, move the g-name-owner
check accordingly.

The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's

In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.

Our current Weather integration depends on poking around the app's
settings, which we cannot do when the app is sandboxed (as its
filesystem is "hidden away" in a container in that case).
So instead, use our own GSettings schema for the settings, and sync

For GObject properties, we follow the convention of all-lowercase,

Now that extension loading and the extensions map are no longer shared
between the gnome-shell and gnome-shell-extension-prefs processes, we
can move both into the ExtensionManager which makes much more sense
conceptually.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Whether or not an extension can be enabled/disabled depends on various
factors: Whether the extension is in error state, whether user extensions
are disabled and whether the underlying GSettings keys are writable.
This is complex enough to share the logic, so add it to the extension
properties that are exposed over D-Bus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Serializing an extension for sending over D-Bus is currently done by the
appropriate D-Bus method implementations. Split out the code as utility
function and add a corresponding deserialization function, which we will
soon use when consuming the D-Bus extension API from the extension-prefs
tool.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
It makes sense to keep extension-related enums in the same module instead
of spreading them between ExtensionSystem and ExtensionUtils.
More importantly, this will make the type available to the extensions-prefs
tool (which runs in a different process and therefore only has access to
a limited set of modules).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
The first parameter to Object.assign() is the same target object that
will be returned. That is, since commit 46874eed0 Params.parse() modifies
the @defaults object. Usually we pass that parameter as an object literal
and this isn't an issue, but the change breaks spectacularly in the few
cases where we use a re-usable variable.
Restore the previous behavior by copying the object first.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/615
Standard javascript now has Object.assign() which is very similar to
Params.parse(), except that the latter by default disallows "extra"
parameters. We can still leverage the standard API by simply
implementing the error check, and then call out to Object.assign()
for the actual parameter merging.

Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are

We are currently inconsistent on whether case labels share the same
indentation level as the corresponding switch statement or not. gjs
goes with the default of no additional indentation, so go along with

Starting an object literal with a comment throws off eslint's rules

We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space

Upon construction of the CDMA modem proxy, _reloadCdmaOperatorName()
is called and the value of the Sid property is read.
That property is defined as UINT32 in the D-Bus interface, but the
value may not be loaded yet after the proxy is constructed, in which
case its value will be null.
In _findProviderForSid(), we'll end up calling lookup_cdma_sid(null)
which fails with the following assertion:
gnome-shell[1082]: nma_mobile_providers_database_lookup_cdma_sid: assertion 'sid > 0' failed
This commit changes the (sid == 0) check in _findProviderForSid()
to (!sid) which will also catch the null case.

Our weather integration is supposed to follow GNOME Weather's settings,
including its permission to use location services. However there's a

access was denied.
Fix this by handling this case explicitly.

Since commit 551e827841, we don't always pass a callback parameter.
However passing it on as undefined to ibus doesn't work, as gjs doesn't

we can end up with no layout selected in the keyboard menu and an "empty"

provided.

ClutterVirtualInputDevice has the limitation that event flags won't be
made to contain CLUTTER_EVENT_FLAG_INPUT_METHOD, possibly causing feedback

Whenever a command runs in the run dialog, it
will be added to the history unless it is
already the last entry. This does not apply
for entries that are not consecutive, which can
result in long chains of commands which
alternate, e.g. lg, r, lg, r, lg, r. Not only is
this wasteful in terms of space, but also
inconsistent with how history works elsewhere,
e.g. in the shell.
Therefore, remove entries in the history that are
equal to the one that will be added to the end of
of the history when the entry already exists.

gjs's D-Bus convenience explicitly expects a string representation
of an interface, but the new convenience method to load an XML
description from a resource introduced in commit f42d9df3e0 only
returns a string when using gjs from the GNOME 3.30 release. We
have so far managed to keep compatibility with the previous stable
gjs release, so fix up the fallback code to cast to string.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/578
Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.

The object manager tries to synthesize interface removal
events if the bus name of a remote object drops off the bus.
The code had bad typos in it, though: it reuses the `i`

the `j` index variable.
This commit corrects the i/j confusion.
The object manager tries to synthesize interface removal
events if the bus name of a remote object drops off the bus.
The code has a bad typo in it, though: it confuses `objectPaths`
(the list of all object paths) and `objectPath` (the object
currently being processed this iteration of the loop).
That leads to a failure to synthesize the interface removal
events, and spew in the log.
This commit corrects the objectPath/objectPaths confusion.
As strings are guaranteed to use UTF-8 in the GNOME platform, generic
file APIs like g_file_load_contents() return raw data instead. Since
gjs' recent update to mozjs60, this data is now returns as Uint8Array

down to arr.join(',') - so use gjs' new ByteArray module to explicitly
convert the data.

The input method may hint that certain keycodes should be pressed/released
besides the textual information in ::commit. An example is hitting space
in some IMs to commit text, where both ::commit happens, and an space is
visibly inserted. In order to handle this properly, we must honor
::forward-key-press.
In order to cater for the case that a keypress is forwarded while handling
that same keypress in a physical keyboard, check the current event being
handled and just forward it as-is if it matches. This is necessary to
prevent state from being doubly set, and the second event silenced away.

And stop using FocusCaretTracker for caret position purposes. This
new object uses 1) the text-input protocol in wayland and 2) Info

commit 642107a2 attempts to avoid resetting the current keymap on
spurious input source changes.
It does this by checking if the current layout id is found in
the new list of layouts and resetting the current layout to the
associated match in the list. By not nullifying the current
layout, it won't get subsequently reset.
Unfortunately, if the order of the list changes, resetting the
current keymap is still necessary, since the order corresponds
with the index of the activated group.
This commit changes the code to nullify the current layout if
its group index changes.

The IM can pretty much update the input sources anytime (even if
to set the same ones). That ends up triggering rebuilding all user
defined keymaps, and losing modifier state if we are unfortunate
enough that this caught us while pressing one.
One common situation seems to be password entries, resulting in
the wrong character being printed if the first character happens
to require the shift key.
If the current keymap is not found in the newly loaded list,
this._current will end up null, with the same behavior as we get
currently (immediate keymap reload).

The author of the original URL-matching regex warns[0] that the pattern may
cause certain regex engines to lock up with certain input, namely patterns
that contain parentheses. It turns out SpiderMonkey is affected, but rather
than switching to the author's improved version (that is still crazy), sim-
plify the pattern a bit by removing support for nested parentheses in URLs.
Even a single pair of parentheses is extremely rare, so this is unlikely to
make a noticeable difference (other than not locking up SpiderMonkey of
course) ...

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()

where we pass additional arguments.

IBus was initially made optional as gnome-shell depended on too
recent API. This API is now old enough and gnome-shell is committing
further to IBus by implementing a ClutterInputMethod through it.
Let's just make IBus a mandatory dependency, instead of making code
paths trickier to cater for situations where it's missing.
This is a ClutterInputMethod implementation using IBus underneath. The
input method will interact with the currently focused ClutterInputFocus,
be it shell chrome or wayland clients through the text_input protocol.
It turns out that NetworkManager does export the directory as pkg-config
variable after all, so use that instead of building the path ourselves
