Speed concerns about argos HOT 11 CLOSED

I suspect this is an issue with either the script or some other system-specific problem. Argos doesn't block, it uses asynchronous calls everywhere. On every system I've tested, scripts load instantly. The menu widgets created by Argos are the same as used by any other extension.

What version of GNOME Shell are you on? What is the output of the script when run from the console?

from argos.

GNOME 3.24
I've looked further into it. The delay is, like you said, due to the script, it takes time to load the list. But the bigger issue here is that this freezes GNOME and everything else, which shouldn't be happening.

Can confirm,
Gnome version 3.24.1
OS: Arch Linux

from argos.

I can't reproduce this on GNOME Shell 3.22. Even if I place sleep 60 in a script it doesn't block the shell at all although it takes a minute to execute.

An issue with just 3.24 then? Or maybe only when used with python?

from argos.

FWIW I run gnome shell 3.24.1 (ubuntu 17.04), and I have no problem with long running argos scripts. I don't have any python scripts

from argos.

So, its python then?

from argos.

I doubt, I'm running shell scripts...

from argos.

That just makes it even more confusing.... could you send the scripts?

from argos.

@ghost I doubt its the scripts blocking...

from argos.

Closing because I'm unable to reproduce the problem.
