Description Daniel Rusek 2020-04-14 19:06:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
The latest version of GNOME Contacts can't get past welcome screen and is basically not working at all. This is caused by a regression that was already fixed upstream (see Additional info), but did not yet make it into Fedora.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-contacts-3.36-1.fc32.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use latest, fully updated Fedora 32 Workstation Beta.
2. Launch "Contacts".
3. Click on "Local Address Book", then click on "Done".

Actual results:
GNOME Contacts can't get past welcome screen.

Expected results:
GNOME Contacts can get past welcome screen.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2020-04-14 19:12:35 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 32-final by Fedora user asciiwolf using the blocker tracking app because:

 GNOME Contacts that is a basic, preinstalled application on Fedora Workstation, cannot get past welcome screen (which makes the application basically not working at all) on Fedora 32. This is caused by a regression that was already fixed upstream by a simple, one line fix. This fix however did not make it into Fedora in time.
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2020-04-14 19:48:28 UTC 
I'd actually say this is a release blocker, per "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism after a default installation of Fedora Workstation on the x86_64 architecture must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test." If you can't get through the welcome wizard, you have no basic functionality.

I'm +1 blocker, +1 FE if for some reason others disagree on blocker status.
Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2020-04-14 19:50:07 UTC 
+1 blocker, +1 FE
Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2020-04-14 19:51:00 UTC 
+1 blocker, but I don't see this being an issue for Live images (in that it doesn't seem like an application that people would use without installing) so I'm also +1 for invoking the late blocker exception.
Comment 5 Stephen Gallagher 2020-04-14 19:53:03 UTC 
I just loaded up GNOME Contacts (gnome-contacts-3.36-1.fc32.x86_64) for the first time and was presented with the welcome screen. It asked me to select my default contact list, I picked one of my Google Accounts. It worked fine after that.

Is it possible that this only affects the "local address book"?

As it is, I'm disinclined to call this a blocker. I'd +1 FE it, but I don't think it alone is worth holding up the release for.
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2020-04-14 19:54:23 UTC 
Stephen: looking at the fix, yeah, it seems entirely plausible it only affects the local store. I'm still +1, though, as that's clearly basic functionality.
Comment 7 Michael Catanzaro 2020-04-14 19:54:58 UTC 
Doesn't matter honestly. If it's a one-line fix, then a FE is sufficient here.
Comment 8 Mohan Boddu 2020-04-14 19:57:00 UTC 
As per the criteria in comment2 it might be a blocker, but I am definite +1 FE
Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2020-04-14 20:26:10 UTC 
Marking at least accepted FE for now. A build is running ATM.
