Compatibility issue with another extension

[p91paul]

And what if you have only Optistatus extension enabled and our Coverflow disabled? does the native alt-tab work? I'll try to reproduce on my optimus-powered laptop. I see Optistatus is one of those very bad extensions not under a public version control system (I'm joking 😄 ) but you can try to signal the issue also to them using the "Bug Report" feature of extensions.gnome.org: the extension owner will be notified by email.

The native alt-tab functions as expected when Optistatus is enabled, and Coverflow alt-tab is disabled, yes.

I'll file a bug report with Optistatus also.

Thanks again!

I'm not going to go deeper right now, but I've found the javascript error that brings to the issue, and I'm reporting the stacktrace here for anyone interested:

(gnome-shell:3013): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: TypeError: windowActors[i].get_meta_window is not a function
gnome-session[2526]: Manager._startWindowSwitcher@/home/susepaolo/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/manager.js:64

I ran into this the other day (Ubuntu 18.10 + Gnome 3.30.1) and made a small change to the code. (basically added a conditional check to see if get_meta_window is a function)

for (let i in windowActors)
if (typeof windowActors[i].get_meta_window === 'function')
windows.push(windowActors[i].get_meta_window());

Thanks for your patch! Could you try installing from master to test the fix?

verified works - master branch.
