Hello,
Your problem is due to the change from Xorg to Wayland. When the Gnome
Shell isrun in a Wayland desktop session the shell cannot be
restarted. Some linuxdistributions provide the ability to log into an
Xorg or Wayland session. Fedora providesthe option of using an X
session. With Ubuntu you can install the vanilla Gnome session which
will give the option to run an X session. I wrote an extension to
reload an extensionbut it will only reload the extension if it is in an
error state (ie. it had failed to be loadeddue to an error in the
extension code and you have corrected the error). That extension
isreally not very useful. You can develop under an X session and re-
test under Waylandafter you get your code working. There are
differences in the shell code when runningunder X that might not work
correctly if you depend on the X behavior in your extension.The only
way to handle that problem is to look into the shell's sources if the
extensionworks under X but fails under Wayland.
Hope this is useful...Norman
