`meta_context_notify_ready: assertion 'priv->state == META_CONTEXT_STATE_STARTED || priv->state == META_CONTEXT_STATE_RUNNING' failed`

Noticed this error in my logs on a clean shell restart (alt + F2 -> r) with only your plugin installed, no user themes either. Only happens with this plugin installed and enabled.

OS: Gentoo - 5.19.0
GNOME: 42.3.1

Disabling the plugin (and restarting the GNOME shell), makes the error go away.

I don't know how / why this error appears, it still exists even I try to comment all lines in enable () of this extensions:

rounded-window-corners/src/app.ts

Line 52 in 838ffeb

enable () {

@yilozt I just started doing GTK-based development, but I'll ask around if someone can point out the problem, and I'll send whatever they say along...

[peterlobster]

@yilozt This might be helpful? https://gjs.guide/extensions/development/debugging.html#gjs-console

[yilozt]

Give up... I still don't have any idea to solve this issue.

[peterlobster]

@yilozt I'm working on it. I'm talking to a few of the GNOME developers on Matrix. I think we're making progress.

[yilozt]

Comfirmed that ES Modules occurs this error. I don't think it is a real bug, because it not effect user experience.

Maybe I should stop use ES modules in extensions, it can fix this error message.

[yilozt]

This is a example extensions that uses ES Modules, it can emit this error message: test@extensions.shell-extension.zip

This is normal extensions that will not emit error message: test@extensions.shell-extension.zip

This example extensions even do nothing, it just print something to log:

class Extension {
    enable() {
        log ('Extension Enabled')
    }
    disable() {
        log ('Extension disabled')
    }
}

function init () {
    return new Extension()
}

@yilozt WOW! Great work! ...and thank you for taking the time to debug and share that.

I had hit a similar crux yesterday, but hadn't hit on the ESM modules, but I guess it makes sense. Interestingly, I was told yesterday (on the GNOME Matrix) that eventually the GNOME Shell will move to ESM (in 43 or 44).
