Now that we always have an extension manager object, we can use
the same code path for use from extensions and prefs.
For that, inject the D-Bus service's extensionManager instead
of the current extension.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2832>
ExtensionUtils' getCurrentExtension() method currently either
returns the extension that was injected with setCurrentExtension(),
or imports Main locally to access the extensionManager.
But local imports won't work anymore when we convert to ESM,
and setCurrentExtension() is only an option for prefs.
Instead of diverging the code paths even further, we'll unify
the two cases as much as possible.
As a first step, add a basic extension manager in the Extensions
D-Bus service that exposes the same lookup() API as the "real"
extension manager.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2832>
When looking for a directory name that matches the extension UUID,
we can just as well use GLib's dirname()/basename() functions
instead of wrapping the path in a GFile.
We also know that the original path corresponds to a regular file
and not a directory, so rearrange the loop to avoid a lookup that
is guaranteed to fail.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2832>
We currently use a regular expression to extract the exact file path
from a stack line. That RE is no longer accurate:
- we assume a line number at the end, but at one point the column
number was added as well
- stacks from ES modules use file:// URIs instead of plain paths
Luckily that doesn't matter: We don't want to access any actual
files, so all we need is a path that can be traversed and that
contains the UUID.
We can get that with simple string manipulation, so avoid the regex
overhead.

gi modules are always loaded (there is no API for "set version without
loading"), so
we need to break dependencies.js into three sections:
- Required
- Compile-time optional
- Runtime optional
Required dependencies are always imported, compile-time optional
dependencies
are loaded if gnome-shell is compiled with support for them, and for
runtime optional dependencies we catch any errors when attempting to
load them.
If runtime optional dependencies fail to load we log a debug-level
message.

Removes the init() function in favor of executing all environment
changes when the file is imported.

We started to version them last cycle, so docs can be differentiated
between versions. It is not *expected* that two versions show up
on the same system, but then it also doesn't hurt handling it.

Once environment.js is an ES module we need to ensure we can dynamically
specify the version for required GI dependencies such as Clutter.
Moving dependency version setup to dependencies.js ensures gi.require
calls are done before environment.js imports any utilities.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2822>
The environment module is used to initialize the environment, yet it
currently also defines the adjustAnimationTime() function.
Ideally it should not export any utility functions, in particular
once converted to ESM.
The function cannot be moved to the existing Utils module, as that
depends on an initialized environment, and can therefore not be
imported from environment.js, so use that opportunity to group
together several animation helpers in a new animationUtils module.

This allows using await in the command (or the header we
add to it), for example when handling Promises or importing
a module dynamically.
The latter will be crucial when porting to ESM.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2842>
Part of the possible completions involves evaluating the part
of the passed in text that looks like an object, so that we
can query it for properties.
Using a Function or eval() for that means that we can only
complete text that does not use `await`. To get over that
limitation, evaluate the text in an AsyncFunction instead.

We currently throw an error when encountering a result that cannot
be represented as string, with the prompt appearing somewhat stuck
(the input cannot be committed).
Showing a lame fallback instead at least avoids that issue. When
the object has a typeof 'object' but is not an instanceof Object,
we are likely dealing with an ES module, and can show a slightly
less lame fallback.

console.log() is implemented with structured logging, and as we
set an appropriate log domain, it's identical to the custom function
bar the custom fields with extension data.
Few people know about those custom fields, and adding them comes
at a cost, as we end up producing and parsing a stacktrace on
every log() call.
It therefore seems appropriate to drop the custom function, and
turn the global log() symbol into a simple convenience alias for
console.log().
If it turns out that people do miss the custom fields, we can add
an alternative to ExtensionUtils.

`toLocaleFormat` is now `formatDateWithCFormatString` and formatTime and

Now that scripts are loaded as external modules, there's no reason
anymore for bundling them with the gnome-shell executable. Just
move the scripts into a dedicated folder in tests/ and run them
from there.

Environment variables aren't the best option to pass parameters
to a process (wouldn't it be "fun" if SHELL_PERF_MODULE appeared
in a regular user session?).
Instead, use a (hidden) --automation-script command line flag to
specify a script file that should be used to drive an automated
session.
As a side effect, the script no longer has to be relative to the
main module itself, so it will be possible to run scripts that
aren't bundled with the shell sources.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2812>
The perf scripts that can be used to script the gnome-shell UI
for testing are sufficiently separate from the rest of the code
base to allow porting them to ESM modules before the rest of
the code base.

The file indicates to the systemd shutdown scripts that extensions
should be disabled, so that extensions that crash the shell on
startup cannot lock out the user indefinitely.
For that purpose, we create the file before initializing extensions,
and remove it after 60 seconds. That generally works, because it's
highly unlikely that a session genuinely ends within the first minute.
It's possible though (for example during developments or when running
tests), so also remove the file when shutting down cleanly before
the timeout.

Now that extensions themselves are imported as modules, do the
same for their preference dialogs.
Extensions must now export a class with a `fillPreferencesWindow()`
method as default.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2795>
Continue the move to ESM by loading modules dynamically with
the standard import() expression, rather than by installing a
custom (legacy) importer.
This is a breaking change that affects all extensions, as they
now need to explicitly export the expected symbols.
As we are already breaking all extensions, take that opportunity
and remove support for the individual entry points: Using a
class with enable()/disable() methods has been the recommended
pattern for a long time, it is now the only entry point.
Instead of instantiating the class from an `init()` function,
the class must now be exported as default to be recognized.
Additionally, we no longer install an importer on the extension
object, so extensions that consist of more than one file MUST
import those files as modules now.
There will be a second breaking change for extensions when
gnome-shell's own code is ported to ESM, so most extension
developers will likely want to wait until the port is complete
before starting to port their extensions.
Based on a commit from Evan Welsh.

We want to replace gjs' custom (and now legacy) imports system
with standard EcmaScript modules: JS developers are already
familiar with them, they have better tooling support and using
standard features over non-standard ones is generally the right
thing to do.
Our D-Bus services are separate from the main process, and thus
can be ported separately (except for the few imports that are
shared with the main process' code base).

We currently special-case the DISABLED error when initializing
filtering, but not on app filter changes.
While it seems reasonable that Malcontent.Manager wouldn't emit
the signal while disabled, that's not actually true: It is emitted
when any user account information tracked by AccountsServices
changes.
Even if the signal were limited to changes of the ParentalControls
extension, it would still get emitted when app filtering *becomes*
disabled.
So regardless of potential improvements in libmalcontent itself,
we should filter out the DISABLED consistently, both when creating
the initial filter and when updating it.

Commit c449058d44 changed the pointer clone to use a single

gjs now has an internal mainloop that it can spin to resolve
module imports. That loop uses the thread default context,
so its possible that other sources, namely from mutter, get
dispatched when iterating the context. If that happens before
mutter is properly initialized, this will lead to a crash.
GjsContext needs to iterate its internal mainloop when initializing
to resolve internal modules, to avoid iterating Meta's mainloop and
triggering events before Meta is ready we will initialize the Shell
global and thus the GjsContext (js_context) before Meta.
Once GjsContext is initialized, we can call meta_context_setup().
Once Meta is setup and started, we'll run init.js which uses GJS'
internal promises API to set a "mainloop hook". The mainloop hook
is run immediately after the module returns so GJS will not attempt
to iterate the main loop again before exiting.
Also adjust the 'headlessStart' test to not wait for the
MetaContext::started signal, as that signal has now already
been emitted when the code is executed.

get_size() in _syncAnimationSize() can't be called until the actor
has a parent, otherwise we'll get an error for calling
st_get_theme_node() prior to the actor being on a stage.
_syncAnimationSize() is called asynchronously via
textureCache.load_sliced_image() and there is currently no guarantee
the actor will actually be "loaded" prior to calling it.
This becomes a more obvious error/issue when refactoring parts of the
Shell loading to also be asynchronous.

We are about to port the helper proxy to GApplication, which means

Now that we track apps instead of instances, we can make the menu
items activatable, because the corresponding action is no longer
app specific (like activating a particular tab): We can simply
activate the app, which hopefully will bring it to the foreground

The background apps menu currently tracks instances rather than
apps. That matches the behavior of `flatpak ps` and can be useful,
for example when one particular instance runs out of control.
But as we don't include any information that allows to actually
distinguish between instances, multiple instances appear simply
as duplicated app entries.
Given that a menu is too limited for detailed information, stop
representing individual instances, and track apps instead.

This pipeline imports dmabufs and does format conversion using GL.
The `video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf)` filter ensures format negotiation
between `pipewiresrc` and Mutter will only succeed if Mutter advertises
dmabuf support as well, falling back to the next pipeline otherwise.
Using this pipeline frees Mutter from downloading buffer content on the
main thread which can have a big impact on compositor performance.
Doing format conversion on the GPU should further improve the overall
performance on most hardware.

Pipewire versions < 0.3.67 may not fail immediatly on negotiation

Introduce a fallback mechanism for gstreamer pipelines that allows to
define multiple pipelines and prefer them over each other.
The way this works is that we introduce a new STARTING PipelineState.
While the Recorder is in that state, it is allowed to tear down the
current pipeline and start another one whenever an error happens, this is
used to try multiple pipelines in a fixed order until a working one is
found.
Right now there's just a single pipeline using the existing vp8 encoder, the
actual new encoders and pipelines will be added in a separate commit.

The check for the Pipewire version was originally introduced in
d32c0348 which states:
> Since it is not clear yet when a proper solution will arrive,
> this makes use of `always-copy` as a workaround for now and
> should be reverted once it is no longer needed.
The check for a stable Gstreamer version with the mention proper fix was
introduced in d7b44319 and carried for the 43 cycle.
By the time Gnome 44 will be released all distros should have had enough
time to update their Gstreamer version - or backport the patches, in
case of not ustream-supported versions.
Thus lets drop it now.
Note: `always-copy` is not suitable for dmabuf buffers as it copies via
mmap.

Right now when we tell gstreamer to move the pipeline to the state
PLAYING, we pretend that happens immediately and set our PipelineState
to PLAYING right afterwards.
In reality though it's more complicated than that: Gstreamer changes
states asynchronously and set_state() returns a Gst.StateChangeReturn.ASYNC.
In that case we should wait until the according STATE_CHANGED event happens
on the bus, and only then set our PipelineState to PLAYING.
Since the STATE_CHANGED event will also happen when set_state() returns
SUCCESS, we can use the same async logic for that.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2197>
Gstreamer can produce various errors, we shouldn't pretend those don't
exist and go on as usual when one happens. Instead, when an error
happens, tear down the pipeline, set our PipelineState to the new ERROR
state and bail out with a proper error message.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2197>
We're tracking three different state-machines in the Recorder object:
The state of the gstreamer pipeline, the state of the screencast
session, and the sender of our dbus invocation that might vanish.
Properly handling errors that might appear in any of those three "black
boxes" is not easy, especially tearing down the other two when one of
them breaks.
So refactor the error handling here: Add a single error path for each of
those three states we're tracking, and make them all subsequently call
the _bailOutOnError() method. From there we tear down the other states and
call the error callbacks.

The events that the draggable uses to initiate a drag operation
are the same as the ones a click action consumes for clicks.
It is still possible to combine the two, but it's finicky and far
from being straight-forward. To make this easier, add a dedicated
addClickAction() method to draggables that takes care of the
setup before adding the action to the draggable actor.
In the longer term, we'll want to turn DND into an action, and
have something like GTK's gesture group to allow combining actions
that would otherwise step on each other's toes.

Actions provide a higher-level API than event handlers, not unlike
