Hi,
I'm sorry I cannot help more, I do not speak gjs-ish, especially how it
works with respect of asynchronous calls, but I have few guesses, like
I'd rather use synchronous calls and make sure the variables you
assigned the instances to are not vanished during garbage collection.
Again, I do not know how gjs works and what it does with the GObject
introspection generated code.
I know that the ESourceRegistryWatcher works properly, it is used by
evolution-alarm-notify and some other parts of Evolution itself.
I'd also try to use C, to see whether it'll work, which may prove the
problem in the gjs code/usage, not in evolution-data-server itself.
Bye,
Milan
