Recheck tests for mutter-50.1 and gnome-shell-50.2

[Bruce Dubbs]

I had several test failures in these packages that need to be reviewed by someone with a different gnome build. Those book pages may need to be updated depending on results.

Looks like gnome-shell FTBFS with latest libical version:

../src/calendar-server/gnome-shell-calendar-server.c: In function ‘get_ical_star
t_time’:

Replying to pierre:

Looks like gnome-shell FTBFS with latest ical version:

I wonder what changed. From my log:

Sun May 17 12:25:06 CDT 2026 /usr/src/libical/libical-4.0.1.tar.gz
...
Fri May 29 12:43:16 CDT 2026 /usr/src/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-50.2.tar.xz

I have not tested with libical-4.0.2 though.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Double checking my gnome-shell script, it looks like I forgot to add:

    sed -e '/(ICalProperty/s/ICalProperty/const &/' \
        -i src/calendar-server/gnome-shell-calendar-server.c &&

Try that.

Yes, i builds

Tests passed for me in a gnome session in a VM:

• Mutter

  Ok:            259
  Expected Fail: 5
  Fail:          9
  

• Gnome-shell:

  Ok:            23
  Fail:          0

Note that I have neither Xvfb-run nor zenity, but I only have wayland support anyway.

[pierre]

I rerun the tests in a plasma wayland session (still in a VM). Same result for mutter. One failure for gnome-shell. I'd tend to close this ticket, unless something new comes.

[Bruce Dubbs]

OK, thanks for checking. Closing.
