Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Chromium and Electron apps implement the KStatusNotifierItem spec without
exposing some DBus properties that the spec describes.
The app-indicator feature can work without those properties, but
gnome-shell-extension-appindicator will log a big error message to the system
journal every time the app refreshes the indicator.
Because failing to access those properties is not fatal, we can avoid dumping
an error to the system journal. Instead, we'll only print a debug message, not
visible by default unless enabled with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG="Ubuntu-AppIndicators"
in the shell's environment.
The full error message can be seen in comment #3
[ Test Plan ]
Reproducing the issue involves using an Electron-based application
that uses AppIndicators. I'm going to use Mattermost as an example of
one.
* Install the mattermost-desktop snap
* Log in
* Click the 3-dots button on the top-left
* Navigate to File > Settings
* Tick `Show icon in the notification area`
* Restart the app
* In a terminal window start printing journal logs with `journalctl
-f`
* Get someone to send a message to any channel that you participate
in.
* Verify that the error (comment #3) was not logged to the journal
[ Where problems could occur ]
The AppIndicator extension is an important feature of Ubuntu Desktop.
If misconfigured, the extension may crash the desktop.
The patch only touches printing logs, so should not affect the well
behavior of the extension.
Problems can be detected by using applications that expose app-
indicators.
[ Original Description ]
Every session I see those errors in the attached log file.
