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.

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.

Extensions can export asynchronous enable() and disable()
functions. To guard against re-entrancy when enabling or
disabling an extension, this commit adds two new states:
ENABLING and DISABLING which are set immediately prior
to calling enable() and disable() respectively.
This commit updates the extensions CLI and Extensions app
with new strings for these states.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2364>
ES modules do not allow exports to be overriden, in anticipation
of the ESM port add a `setCurrentExtension` utility which will
throw if used in the shell. This is tested using a conditional
import of Main.

We have initTranslations() for binding an extension's
gettext domain, but nothing to help with using gettext
from an extension.
Such help would be useful though, as an extension that
calls textdomain() like a normal application would
inadvertently changes the default domain for the whole
gnome-shell process.
Instead, extensions have to use domain-specific versions
of the gettext functions:
```js
const Gettext = imports.gettext.domain('my-extension');
const _ = Gettext.gettext;
```
Make this a bit easier by adding those functions directly
to the extensions object when initTranslations() is called,
then expose helper functions for calling them.

When adapting the check to the new versioning check, we just blindly
copied the old behavior for stable/unstable versions:
- stable releases must have matching major numbers
- unstable releases must match major and minor ("alpha", "beta", "rc")
That worked for the old even/odd scheme, but now has the absurd effect
that we consider an extension that lists "40.alpha" in its shell-version
incompatible with "40.beta", but compatible with "40.2".
At least this provides us with a good opportunity to reconsider the
behavior. While it is true that breakage is much more likely between
unstable releases, in practice extensions are either following shell
development closely or update once around the time of a stable release.
For the former, the stricter check isn't usually too useful (as the
extension releases around the same time as gnome-shell anyway).
For the latter, it's annoying that ".rc" is treated differently from
".0" and requires an update to become compatible.
The latter is also by far the more common case, so update the check
to only match on the major version regardless of whether a release
is stable or unstable.

Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1719>
With the new versioning scheme, the previously-minor version gets
shifted up to major, and unstable releases are marked by non-numeric
"versions" rather than uneven numbers. Reflect that in the extension
version check.

The current support for extension updates is half-baked at best.
We are about to change that, and implement offline updates similar
to gnome-software.
As a first step, add a hasUpdate property to the extension state
which will communicate available updates.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/945
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
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
We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space
after catch clauses. While the predominant style is to omit it,
that's inconsistent with the style we use for any other statement.
There's not really a good reason to stick with it, so switch to
the style gjs/eslint default to.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/607
We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.
(Array.includes() and Array.indexOf() do behave differently in edge cases,
for example in the handling of NaN, but those don't matter to us)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/152
Those functions originated in gnome-shell-extension's Convenience
module which is copied by almost every extension out there. Let's
make people's life just a little bit easier by including the code
ourselves.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/150
ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/361
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
which cannot simply be treated as string - its toString() method boils
down to arr.join(',') - so use gjs' new ByteArray module to explicitly
convert the data.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/179
When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/23
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785084
Apparently importers for the 'same' path are shared, even when the
relative paths resolve to different absolute ones. Until this bug
is fixed properly, we can work around this by expressing the current
extension path as the UUID relative to the parent directory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772386
You can define a new importer object by importing a subdirectory in GJS.
This is undocumented, but it is likely to at least hold until the whole
thing moves to ES6 modules, after which we'll be able to do this purely
in JS with Reflect.Loader.
Since this was the only thing the ShellJS library did, we can remove it
altogether.
This allows us to discontinue use of the gjs-internals-1.0 embedder API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772386
Currently it's assumed only an extension can call this method. However
it can be useful if any part of the shell want to know if it was invoked
by an extension.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770717
The asynchronous nature of extension loading, session loading, and more,
makes the code racy as to what is initialized first, and hard to debug.
Additionally, since gjs is single-threaded, the only code we're running
in a thread anyway is readdir, which is going to be I/O bound, so the
code here is actually likely to be faster.
Drop this in favor of some good old fashioned synchronous loading.
A missing extension directory isn't worth debug spew, so check
if the error when reading the extension directory is NOT_FOUND,
and if so, suppress output.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685466
This allows us to move to a file-monitor based approach in the future.
Since we need signals, we convert the current set of functions to an
object we attach signals too, leading to the new ExtensionFinder object.
