Schema problem when running uninstalled

[GeraldJansen]

Running in development/uninstalled mode fails because of uninstalled schema.
Using current master (21568b0):

[src]$ python3 hamster-cli.py 
(hamster-cli.py:6999): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 09:20:18.546: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Hamster' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I don't think you can do much about that. I believe the schema has to be installed in a system location. But I may be wrong.

AFAICS you wouldn't have this problem if you installed once (from any version) and used development mode after that.

Indeed, just hoped to get an answer to my question, then forgot.

Workaround:

glib-compile-schemas --targetdir=build/data data
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=build/data python3 src/hamster-service.py &
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=build/data python3 src/hamster-cli.py

With your clear issue, it should be easy to find for devs.
Let's keep it open until we manage to automate that.
