Warnings while running Gtimelog

[shirishag75]

Hi there,
I constantly get warnings whenever I run gtimelog :-

[$] ./gtimelog

./src/gtimelog/main.py:234: Warning: The property GtkButton:use-stock is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.
  builder.add_from_file(ui_file)
./src/gtimelog/main.py:234: Warning: The property GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.
  builder.add_from_file(ui_file)
./src/gtimelog/main.py:234: Warning: The property GtkSettings:gtk-menu-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.
  builder.add_from_file(ui_file)
./src/gtimelog/main.py:234: Warning: The property GtkToolButton:stock-id is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

./src/gtimelog/main.py:234: Warning: The property GtkMisc:xpad is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

These are the GTK library versions I'm using on Debian Jessie :-

I am on Debian-mate desktop could that have made a difference ?

I'm now on GTK+ 3.16.2, and I don't get these warnings when I run ./gtimelog from master.

Interesting.

git grep xpad shows

src/gtimelog/gtimelog.ui:                            <property name="xpad">6</property>

so, yes, I'm apparently using some of the deprecated properties.

Maybe https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html can help you.

I'd prefer to know how I can convince my GTK+ to show these warnings.

[shirishag75]

Umm....if you are running Ubuntu it will not show because they (as in Canonical has silenced it). See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1430307/

I'm guessing you will have to revert the glib to an older version in order to see it. The other way is for me to come to GTK+ 3.16.2 ( Debian is still on 3.14 series as of now ) and would still require some time till it moves to 3.16 series. Do not know any other way or can't think.

It's in the discussion on the linked page - see comment by Lars Uebernickel (larsu) wrote on 2015-04-16:
Yeah, let's disable them for the release. Developers can still opt in to showing them while developing an application by setting G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC to 1.
Works for me for gedit on ubuntu.

[shirishag75]

I did see that but because I'm not on Ubuntu didn't know whether that worked or not. Good to know it works. If you don't still get it then probably will have to wait till I get on 3.16 to see if the issue is still there.

[mgedmin]

Thank you, G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC=1 works:

And I can get extra deprecation warnings if I also use PYTHONWARNINGS=all:

/home/mg/src/gtimelog/src/gtimelog/main.py:308: PyGIDeprecationWarning: timeout_add_seconds is deprecated; use GLib.timeout_add_seconds instead
  GObject.timeout_add_seconds(1, self.tick)
