Cannot activate extension after installation

[mfiedler]

Thanks for your extensions, looks interesting to me. :) However, it currently (commit d8d227c) doesn't seem to work after installation. Neither via https://extensions.gnome.org/ nor via make local-install from the repository.

I am using Debian Wheezy with package gnome-shell in version 3.4.2-7+deb7u1

I've just tested it again on gnome-3.4 on debian and it works for me. Could you, maybe, check for errors in your ~/.xsession-errors? This is where gnome-shell messages should go to on wheezy.

When I uninstall the extension and reinstall via the website, I get following log messages:

Another notice: The packages named in the README should be installed:

[~]$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -e libglib2.0-dev -e intltool -e gnome-common
gnome-common                    install
intltool                    install
intltool-debian                 install
libglib2.0-dev                  install

Strange. I've tested it on gnome-3.4, albeit on Jessie (from a few months ago). I'll install Wheezy and check it there. Could you, comment out line 9 ( const GnomeDesktop = ...) and restart gnomeshell (alt+F2 r). This line is not really needed.

[mfiedler]

After commenting out that line, the Icon displays. However, the preferences do not work:

Error: Requiring GnomeDesktop, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GnomeDesktop' (any version) not found

Stack trace:
  @/home/micha/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/TeaTime@oleid.mescharet.de/prefs.js:9

But commenting out line 9 in prefs.js and restarting Gnome Shell fixes this issue, too. Now it works.

[oleid]

I've removed those lines from the code and submitted the new version to extensions.gnome.org. Closing the issue. Thanks for reporting!
