[Sugar-devel] About web activities, webkit2 and backward compatibility

[Manuel Quiñones]

Tried to run a current web activity in current olpc build, 13.2.0 os6.

I copied sugar-toolkit-gtk3/src/sugar3/activity/htmlactivity.py inside
the activity, and changed activity.info accordingly. The activity
fails in line:

self._web_view.show()
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/blob/master/src/sugar3/activity/htmlactivity.py#L52

with a segmentation fault:

Terminated by signal 11, pid 1436 data (None, <open file '<fdopen>',
mode 'w' at 0xd67a18>, 'bc05e2b23867858d4df2bb97d5088312e4dffa1e')
