Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

Since commit 2894085c45 we omit sound feedback on volume changes
if something is already outputting sound. Unfortunately that
"something" may be our own feedback (from a previous volume
change).
In that case we do not want to omit the new feedback, so instead
cancel the previous one.

There are two ways for applications to provide a high contrast icon:
1. install an icon into the HighContrast theme
2. install a symbolic icon into the default hicolor theme
The latter is preferred nowadays, and implemented in the high-contrast
CSS variant by enforcing the symbolic icon style.
However together with the way we currently enable/disable high-contrast,
this can lead to the following race:
1. the GTK theme is changed from HighContrast
2. we reload the default stylesheet
3. the icon style changes to "regular", so we request a
new icon from the HighContrast icon theme
4. the icon theme is changed from HighContrast
5. we evict existing icons from the cache
6. we reload icons for the new icon theme; however as we
find a pending request (from 3), we re-use it
7. the request from 3 finishes, and we end up with a
wrong icon in the cache
The simplest fix is to change the icon theme before the GTK theme: Unlike the
theme name, the icon style is encoded in the cache key, so we won't re-use
an old (and incorrect) request in that case.

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.

Commit 147a743d8d moved the suspend and power-off actions into
the submenu that contains the log-out and switch-user actions,
but did not update the submenu visibility logic to account for
the additional actions.
As a result, the submenu is hidden when log-out and switch-user
are unavailable (like on the login screen), even if suspend and
power-off are enabled.

Since the orientation lock menu entry is a proper menu entry instead of
a icon-only button now, we also show a description-text for that entry,
so update this text depending on whether orientation is locked or not to
better reflect what clicking the menu entry will do.

Since the last commit we set the gicon property of StIcon to NULL if an
empty string was given when setting the icon name, this means
`st_icon_get_icon_name()` will return NULL instead of an empty string.
When `getIndicatorIcon()` returns an empty string, the icon_name
property will now be set to NULL, so compare it to NULL here.

gnome-settings-daemon doesn't play the volume change sound when
the volume stayed the same (that is, it is already at its maximum
or minimum). This looks like the right thing to do, so copy its
behavior.

Commit 8d4855f100 accidentally removed the volume change feedback
for scroll events. Add it back to be consistent again with moving
the slider via arrow keys, slider drags/clicks and gsd's media keys
handling.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.

I've observed that UPower can occasionally report a charge level of 100%
while the state is still "charging". This usually doesn't last very long
but it is noticeable because the power icon changes to a "missing icon"
icon. This will handle that rare case correctly.

Clutter originally cluttered its namespace with key symbols, before
prefixing all symbols with KEY. We still use the unprefixed symbols
occasionally, replace them so mutter can drop the deprecated symbols.

Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's
expand/align properties in addition to the container-specific child
properties. Given that that's the only container left with a special
child meta, it's time to fully embrace the generic properties (and
eventually remove the child meta).

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement
some required methods or to avoid redefining the same code multiple times.

Devices like cameras and microphones are privacy sensitive, as they can
be used to spy on the user. We cannot prevent non-sandboxed apps from
doing that, but as we already track when the microphone is recording,
we can at least show an indicator to make sure it doesn't happen behind
the user's back.

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
of parentheses.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/731
The legacy indent rule currently ignores arrow functions in parameters
to allow callbacks to not align with the other arguments:
this._someFunctionWithFairlyLongishName(arg1, arg2, arg3,
() => {
this._someOtherFunctionWithLongName(arg1);
});
But as ignoring entire nodes means we can end up with arbitrary
indentation, we should drop the exception. While this would make
the above "illegal" under the legacy config, it conforms with the
non-legacy style, so everything should be fine ...
... except that eslint starts to complain about some function args
that should be fine under the legacy config. Maybe it's thrown off
by the function-arg-in-arrow-function-in-function-arg structure, but
rather than figuring it out, let's just move those to the new style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/725
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/725
We currently use no less than three different ways of indenting
object literals:
let obj1 = {
foo: 42,
bar: 23,
};
let obj2 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23 };
let obj3 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23
};
The first is the one we want to use everywhere eventually, while the
second is the most commonly used "legacy" style.
It is the third one that is most problematic, as it throws off eslint
fairly badly: It violates both the rule to have consistent line breaks
in braces as well as the indentation style of both regular and legacy
configurations.
Fortunately the third style was mostly used for tween parameters, so
is quite rare after the Tweener purge. Get rid of the remaining ones
to cut down on pre-existing eslint errors.
