Plugins not available

[Oscar]

* Impact

Shotwell doesn't list any plugin as available

= Test Case

- Start shotwell
- Go to Edit->Preferences
- Select the plugins tab

The list should lists plugins in the categories with checkboxes to enable/disable them on the left column

* Regression Potential

The patch is changing the LIB definition so it could lead to issue finding other assets though in practice the value was null before the fix and the plugin seems to be the only code relying on that resource definition so the risk is limited

---------------------

Just installed 22.04 and Shotwell but I cannot enable any plugin, no one available.

May be a lib path error?

Thanks, indeed, and stderr displays

[CRT] plugins_search_for_plugins: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_TYPE (dir, g_file_get_type ())' failed

using
$ SHOTWELL_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/shotwell/plugins/ shotwell

workaround the issue, so it seems somehow it's trying to use the wrong directory

build log
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/595087445/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.shotwell_0.30.14-1ubuntu5_BUILDING.txt.gz

shows
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

but it seems it was the same on impish where it works and the corresponding source didn't seem to change between the version...

sounds like probably an issue with the build fix we added for the new valac in http://launchpadlibrarian.net/592733380/shotwell_0.30.14-1ubuntu2_0.30.14-1ubuntu3.diff.gz

This issue is caused by using an absolute path where a relative one is expected.

I verified that the plugin list was empty before installing shotwell 0.30.14-1ubuntu6. After installing the update, I could see several different plugins in the plugin list.
