Evolution plugin raises assertion on Jaunty

[Alexander Hunziker]

Using GNOME Do on Jaunty with the evolution plugin, the following error is printed to the terminal:

(Do:3813): libebook-CRITICAL **: file e-book.c: line 2127: assertion `book && E_IS_BOOK (book)' failed
Evolution.ContactItemSource "Evolution Contacts" encountered an error in UpdateItems: file e-book.c: line 2127: assertion `book && E_IS_BOOK (book)' failed.

and no contact information is read into GNOME Do

[Jasper-0 (jasper-0)]

After activation of the evolution-plugin, I see this error. Gnome-do doesn't search in the evolution contacts

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start gnome-do in terminal
2. activate evolution-contacts
3. search for a contact

Actual Results:
No contact show's up.

Expected Results:
A list with contacts

Which version of evolution-sharp and evolution-data-server are you using?

[Jasper-0 (jasper-0)]

I'm using evolution-sharp 0.19.1 and evolution-data-server 2.24.4

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

This would seem to be an evolution-sharp bug. Opening a task against that.

[Graaff-i (graaff-i)]

Does this still happen with gnome-do 0.8.1.3 and its plugins?

I'm expiriencing the same problem with:
gnome-extra/gnome-do-0.8.1.3
gnome-extra/gnome-do-plugins-0.8.1.3

Full error message is:

(Do:29737): libebook-CRITICAL **: file e-book.c: line 2127: assertion `book && E_IS_BOOK (book)' failed
Evolution.ContactItemSource "Evolution Contacts" encountered an error in UpdateItems: file e-book.c: line 2127: assertion `book && E_IS_BOOK (book)' failed.

Looking at the error message this might actually be problem with the evolution-sharp bindings. loki_val, perhaps you have some insight here?

First of all, upgrade to the newest evolution-sharp
Then check that the files listed in
/usr/lib/mono/gac/evolution-sharp/*/evolution-sharp.dll.config
actually do exist in /usr/lib/

[Jasper-0 (jasper-0)]

I got the latest evolution-sharp (0.19.2.1) and all the files in evolution-sharp.dll.config
exist.

But the problem remains.

Just a "what the heck this might work idea": Try 0.18.x?

[Jasper-0 (jasper-0)]

No luck :-(

List of upstream bugs:
Gnome-do:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/do-plugins/+bug/334927
Evolution-sharp:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576625

Now we'll just sit back and wait for them to be fixed. If anyone here has an account on bugzilla.gnome.org, I urge you to subscribe to the evolution-sharp bug.

[Jasper-0 (jasper-0)]

Also tired it with evolution-sharp 0.20.0 and mono 2.2-r4.

Again no luck.

I am also affected by this bug, with
Ubuntu Karmic
gnome-do 0.8.2+dfsg-1
libevolution5.0-cil

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Yeah. Sadly, the evolution-sharp bindings are in a bad state; they
haven't worked (at all) since Jaunty. The next gnome-do-plugins upload
will just remove the evolution plugin, since (until evolution-sharp is
fixed), it just can't work.

[Magnus Helander (mhelander)]

And I felt so very smart when I located and installed the Evolution plugin from Synaptic Package Manager ;)
Now I understand why it's not in the official plugins.
Gnome-do is an outstanding piece of software - I hope we can get this plugin working.

gnome-do 0.8.3.1+dfsg-0
libevolution5.0-cil

[Magnus Helander (mhelander)]

I tried running gnome-do from command line and got this...

(/usr/lib/gnome-do/Do.exe:2624): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
(/usr/lib/gnome-do/Do.exe:2624): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_set_client_type got called multiple times.

Most likely not related, but maybe of interest?
