Description andrew.g.r.holmes 2017-07-21 06:07:03 UTC 
Calling GData.ContactsContact.get_photo() always results in the error:

Gjs-Message: JS ERROR: Unsupported type guint64 for (out caller-allocates)

I posted a related question on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/q/45227317/1108697

As I understand it there is an annotation error in the GIR for this package.
Comment 1 Philip Withnall 2017-07-31 11:34:50 UTC 
get_photo() already has an (array length=length) annotation for its return value:

> * Return value: (transfer full) (array length=length): the image data, or %NULL; free with g_free()

So as far as I understand it, this is a GJS bug.
Comment 2 Philip Chimento 2017-07-31 13:53:45 UTC 
Oh, I missed that it was on the return value. In that case, you're probably right.
