Error: Could not guess unspecified GValue type

[julienkosinski]

Hi,

When I open Settings, I have a "Something went wrong" page with this error.

The settings of extension clipboard-indicator@tudmotu.com had an error:

Error: Could not guess unspecified GValue type

It's Ubuntu 21.04 on Wayland or Xorg
GNOME Shell 3.38.4

Thanks :)

Same with me.

I've tried to make this work by

model.set(row,
            [COLUMN_ID, COLUMN_DESCRIPTION, COLUMN_KEY, COLUMN_MODS],
            [id.toString(),        description.toString(),        Number(key),        Number(mods)]);

With this error appeared elsewhere.

The settings of extension clipboard-indicator@tudmotu.com had an error:

TypeError: inputWidget.append is not a function

Fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04

Can you try installing an earlier version?

[kryptish]

ran into the same error GNOME 3 + Wayland, installed version 36 and now the settings page seems to work

[whiskybar]

I'm afraid this PR #280 removes some compatibility with the earlier GNOME versions. I tried reverting some changes manually and I got the preferences dialog back up again.

[cmoetzing]

V37 works for me aswell. All versions above that seem to break the settings.

V37 works for me as well

Thanks for verifying. Newer version support GNOME 40 and above. Closing this issue.
