"Add earlier activity" dialog no longer shows up from Shell extension

[Forage]

With the 3.0-beta, clicking on the "Add earlier activity" menu entry from the GNOME Shell extension no longer makes the dialog pop up. Other entries like the overview and settings work as expected.

An intermediate build on 30 October worked as expected.
Calling the same dialog from the overview dialog works as well.

Is there any way I can have a Shell extension provide me with log messages?
Could this be another case of some outdated/duplicate files lingering somewhere due to file/folder name changes?

Thank you for the report, it's good to have early testing, especially for the shell-extension !
(still none here...)

No idea.

clicking on the "Add earlier activity"

OK, thanks for that.
Following the track leads to
this and this
ending with editSync which is not explicitly defined.

It was my mistake to remove the edit method in #538.

@Forage #549 should allow you to continue using the extension,
(dbus interface tested with d-feet only)
but the real "edit" (of a specific fact) will be less simple.
I'll get back to that this evening or tomorrow.

The extension tries to open the "edit" method of org.gnome.Hamster.WindowServer and fails:

I guess it's caused by commit 0cffe9c.

[mwilck]

Argh, I should have read more carefully. You tracked that down already... Sorry.

[GeraldJansen]

I can confirm that (temporarily) reverting 0cffe9c gets the edit buttons and Add Earlier Activity menu item working also in xfce-hamster-plugin. Nearly everything seems to be working with the plugin, so Yay!

Now fixed in #549.
