Gnome Shell extensions not loading, no error message available

Question

I have two gnome-shell extensions that don't appear to be loading after upgrading to 3.24. In gnome-tweak-tool they have a warning sign icon with "Error loading extension", and nothing else. I tried using looking glass (lg), and it just says "Error", and that the extension "has not reported any errors".

How can I debug the extension to find out why exactly it's not loading?

Answer 1

I found the error in the systemd journal:

$ sudo journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell

Answer 2

As mentioned on the Github page.

A Shell reload is required. Press Alt+F2 r Enter and the extension has to be enabled with gnome-tweak-tool or with dconf.

As mentioned on Dash to Dock's User reviews. Make sure you disable Ubuntu Dock if you are using this in Ubuntu, otherwise you are going to have conflicts.

To disable Ubuntu Dock type the following in terminal:
