gnome-sound-recorder displays a lot of JS errors and assertion failures

[Laurent Bonnaud]

When I start gnome-sound-recorder, do nothing with it, and close it, I see a lot of error messages in the terminal.

When I try to record sound, I see yet more errors and at the end it crashes gjs, see bug #1797172.

Could you report the crash to the upstream developers?
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-sound-recorder/issues

I believe the gjs warnings bug is already filed as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-sound-recorder/issues/32

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it, which makes a bug report difficult.

Indeed, thanks !

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

Most errors are gone in version 3.34. Thanks!
