No periodic checkupdate done ? about arch-update

[RaphaelRochet]

Hi, I do not depend on a task planner, it is a simple timer. Is the initial check done automatically at startup ? Maybe try to lower the check interval and look at "journalctl -b -f" output. Raphaël

Hi,

I'm not sure it ever ran, which would explain it did never 'plan' itself for later.

I peeked at the code in the meantime, if I'm right each check starts a timer for next check, with a special treatment for 'FIRST_BOOT'
but I can't understand clearly in which case the 'first boot' case will be triggered.

I mean : I'm constantly hibernating my laptop, rarely reboot it.
I've tried to disable / enable the extension but from the comments I saw I'm not even sure it's supposed to do something in this case.

journalctl -b -f did not show anything when re-enabling (or de-installing then re-installing)

Do you have "checkupdate" installed ? Do you have any error when you run "checkupdates" (as normal user) ?

[squalou]

Yes, installed and running fine, without error. (and return code = 0 when calling it)

Issue is : I'm probably not patient enough and I can't set the delay to less than 30 minutes.

I think I could debug things on my side, I would only need two info, since I don't know gnome ext sdk at all

• if I change the extension.js file : how do I "reload" it so hat it's effective ?
• where is the output of the 'log' function ?

(maybe you have a link to some gnome doc explaining this, I admit i've been lazy so far,)

From what I understand, "_applySettings:" part is responsible for creating the "_TimeoutId" object which runs the check perdiodically.
This is supposed to be called whenever a setting is changed through the Utils.getSettings().connect, ma I right ?

It would be a good start to check if in my case this code behaves as expected and Timout object is not null, things like that.
