This is a regex-based check for API usage that can pose security, performance or
maintainability issues, or that may already be provided by Cinnamon. Having code flagged
by it doesn't automatically disqualify a pull request.

This check is not perfect will not replace a normal review.

Best-practices scanner

This is a regex-based check for API usage that can pose security, performance or
maintainability issues, or that may already be provided by Cinnamon. Having code flagged
by it doesn't automatically disqualify a pull request.

This check is not perfect will not replace a normal review.

Found 49 potential issue(s):

⚠️ sync_file_enumerate_children

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:1873

enumerator = dir.enumerate_children(

Synchronous enumerate_children() blocks the main loop.
Use enumerate_children_async() instead.

⚠️ sync_file_test

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:79

this._canUninstallApps = GLib.file_test("/usr/bin/cinnamon-remove-application",

file_test() is a synchronous stat call that can block on slow/network filesystems.
Prefer attempting the operation and handling a Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_FOUND error instead.

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:81

this._pamacManagerAvailable = GLib.file_test("/usr/bin/pamac-manager", GLib.FileTest.EXISTS);

file_test() is a synchronous stat call that can block on slow/network filesystems.

file_test() is a synchronous stat call that can block on slow/network filesystems.
Prefer attempting the operation and handling a Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_FOUND error instead.

⚠️ gtk_recent_manager

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:64

this.recentManagerDefault = Gtk.RecentManager.get_default();

Use imports.misc.docInfo.getDocManager() instead of Gtk.RecentManager.
DocManager provides a cached, sorted, limited list of recent documents
with idle-delayed change signals.

⚠️ global_screen

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:148

global.screen.get_current_monitor() === this.panel.monitorIndex) {

(Cinnamon 5.4) global.screen is a deprecated compatibility shim for the removed MetaScreen.
Use the appropriate replacement instead:

Workspace operations: global.workspace_manager (get_n_workspaces(),
get_workspace_by_index(), append_new_workspace(), remove_workspace(),
override_workspace_layout(), toggle_desktop(), show_desktop(),
get_active_workspace(), get_active_workspace_index(), get_workspaces())
Monitor info: Main.layoutManager (monitors, primaryMonitor, primaryIndex,
focusMonitor, currentMonitor — each with geometry, index, name, and
inFullscreen properties)
Monitor by rect: global.display.get_monitor_index_for_rect()
Display size: global.display.get_size()
Mouse window: Main.layoutManager.getWindowAtPointer()
Window xid: metaWindow.get_xwindow()
Display: global.display

⚠️ panel_height_property

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:339

size = Math.max(Math.min(this.settings.menuIconSize, this.panel.height), 1);

(Cinnamon 4.0) Accessing panel.height is deprecated. Use applet._panelHeight
(or this._panelHeight from within an applet) to get the panel size for zone/icon
calculations. Use panel.get_height() if you need the actual actor pixel height.

⚠️ gtk_forbidden

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:64

this.recentManagerDefault = Gtk.RecentManager.get_default();

Most Gtk APIs cannot be used in the Cinnamon runtime.

Allowed Gtk APIs: IconTheme, DirectionType, TextDirection, PositionType,
accelerator_parse, accelerator_get_label, accelerator_name,
Settings, Widget.get_default_direction.

⚠️ has_icon

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:374

} else if (this.iconTheme.has_icon(this.settings.menuIcon)) {

has_icon() only checks theme folders and does not check extra, legacy folders.
Consider using lookup_icon() instead, which checks all icon locations.

See: linuxmint/cinnamon#13270

menueleven@djb/6.0/search.py:232

has_icon() only checks theme folders and does not check extra, legacy folders.

⚠️ screensaver_imports

menueleven@djb/6.0/applet.js:14

Screensaver modules are internal to Cinnamon and must not be imported
by third-party code. This includes the lock screen, unlock dialog, PAM
authentication, and all screensaver widgets.

⚠️ sync_file_query_exists

⚠️ tweener_usage

menueleven@djb/6.0/utils.js:10

const {addTween} = imports.ui.tweener;

(Cinnamon 5.4) The Tweener module is deprecated. Use Clutter actor easing instead.
Actors have ease() and ease_property() methods (patched in environment.js).
Example: actor.ease({ opacity: 255, duration: 200, mode: Clutter.AnimationMode.EASE_OUT_QUAD });

⚠️ hardcoded_data_dir

menueleven@djb/6.0/utils.js:11

Gettext.bindtextdomain('menueleven@djb', GLib.get_home_dir() + '/.local/share/locale');

Avoid hardcoding .local/share in paths. Use GLib.get_user_data_dir() instead,
which respects the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable.

⚠️ lang_bind

menueleven@djb/6.0/utils.js:102

this.showTimer = Mainloop.timeout_add(250, Lang.bind(this, this.show));

Lang.bind() is deprecated. Use arrow functions (() => {}) or Function.prototype.bind() instead.

[menueleven@djb] Error during validation: [menueleven@djb] Missing file: screenshot.png

claudiux · 2026-04-26T10:08:31Z

On your computer:

Install git: apt install git
Go to your home directory and create a sub-directory named git: cd && mkdir git
Place you into git: cd git
Copy your repo: git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/ForsetGump1952/cinnamon-spices-applets.git
cd cinnamon-spices-applets
Check your applet: ./validate-spice menueleven@jdb

Fix each error and restart the last command until success.

@ForsetGump1952 Sorry, I don't mean to be a pain but any chance you could change the app icon a bit more. It's a different hue but it's still the same as cinnamenu's in every other way. I think there's still the potential for user confusion there because of how distinctive the icon is.
