Description Colin Watson 2012-02-10 23:56:23 UTC 
Several methods on GSimpleAsyncResult are annotated as functions.  This breaks, at least, many attempts to use it from Python.  For instance:

  >>> from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
  >>> error = GLib.Error()
  >>> result = Gio.SimpleAsyncResult.new(None, None, None, "")
  >>> result.set_from_error(error)
  Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 229642

  • File "<stdin>", line 1 in <module>
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 43 in function 
    return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs)   TypeError: set_from_error() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)   >>> result.set_from_error()  # this is surely wrong anyway
  • File "<stdin>", line 1 in <module>
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 72 in constructor 
    return info.invoke(cls, *args, **kwargs)   TypeError: new_from_error() takes exactly 3 arguments (4 given)

I can't see any way to construct a GSimpleAsyncResult from Python for a GError without running into one of these bugs.
Comment 1 Colin Watson 2012-02-10 23:57:18 UTC 
This is with glib 2.31.16, by the way.  And sorry for what Bugzilla seems to have done to the formatting of my example ...
Comment 2 Colin Walters 2012-02-13 17:58:58 UTC 
Hmm...here I have it as a method:

      <method name="set_from_error"
              c:identifier="g_simple_async_result_set_from_error">

What version of gobject-introspection are you using?  

BTW hi Colin!
Comment 3 Colin Watson 2012-02-14 13:39:30 UTC 
Hi :-)

gobject-introspection 1.31.10.  And it looks right in the typelib, even:

  $ g-ir-generate /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Gio-2.0.typelib | grep set_from_error
        <method name="set_from_error" c:identifier="g_simple_async_result_set_from_error">

I'm still seeing the same results, though.
