https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/183
This bad:

clutter_builder.load_from_resource ("/org/gnome/Cheese/cheese-viewport.json");

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/- … type=heads hasn't changed in 8 years but I think the interpreter doesn't like the child references being quoted
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/- … =heads#L56

This is why we like compilers, syntax errors aren't detected by the interpreter on the users system…
