Public bug reported: With our package for wpa-supplicant a call
$ sudo gdbus call -y -d fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 -o /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1 -m org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll 'fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface' fails always with Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No readable properties in this interface The reason for this is that the internal properties getter routine will never return any result when one internal getter fails. The responsible property here is the "Stations" one which was added by a patch in Ubuntu and is not available upstream. Take a look at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/wily/wpa/wily/view/head:/debian/patches/dbus-available- sta.patch The getter method wpas_dbus_getter_stas expects the ap_iface element to be see which isn't always the case and if that isn't true it will return false and causes the whole Properties.GetAll call to fail. The expected result is that the getter just returns an empty list if it can't determine the actual value. ** Affects: wpa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wpa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1528173 Title: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll fails always for fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface interface Status in wpa package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With our package for wpa-supplicant a call $ sudo gdbus call -y -d fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 -o /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1 -m org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll 'fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface' fails always with Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No readable properties in this interface The reason for this is that the internal properties getter routine will never return any result when one internal getter fails.
