Comment 1 Debarshi Ray 2013-03-05 20:15:12 UTC

What providers have you got there? Do you have the Yahoo and Twitter ones enabled by any chance?

Comment 3 André Klapper 2013-03-06 08:58:36 UTC

Please answer comment 1.

Also, unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so and reopen this bug or report a new one. Thanks in advance!

It is not that I don't believe you. :-)

I really want to know the providers you had enabled while building gnome-online-accounts. I am running 3.7.91 on my system (installed system-wide and not jhbuild) and I don't get this crash. The code is pretty straightforward so it should predictably crash if something is really wrong.

The Twitter and Yahoo ones are not expected to work, which is why they are not enabled by default and I usually delete them from the stable branches (they are gone from gnome-3-8 now) so that people don't end up having them by mistake.

Anyway, I have applied some lipstick on the Yahoo code in master because Evolution might be able to use it at some point.

Comment 6 Debarshi Ray 2013-03-06 14:13:29 UTC

This is what I get when I turn on Yahoo on my end:

Comment 7 Debarshi Ray 2013-03-06 14:22:24 UTC

These traces look identical. Closing as NOTABUG.

Please feel free to reopen if you have reason to believe otherwise.

Comment 8 Yosef Or Boczko 2013-03-06 14:39:53 UTC

It is Twitter.

With --enable-twitter is Course.
Without --enable-twitter is not Course.

Comment 9 Debarshi Ray 2013-03-06 15:22:32 UTC

Lets be more clear: WONTFIX.

Repeating comment #5: no application uses the Twitter code, it is not clear we can legally integrate Twitter in GNOME, and hence it is unmaintained.

Please don't reopen if you don't have an application in mind, and if you do we would still need to make sure we can use Twitter in GNOME. Their guidelines for 3rd party apps are pretty strict these days, and we have to be careful.
