@harisvsulaiman … about this

I Tried it with python and it works.

you should probably try gjs instead, which is closer, even if based on SpiderMonkey, to what it’s done here.

The ideal env for GJS is Linux, but brew install gjs should work too (it’s quartz based so some dependency doesn’t work there but usually most of the things are fine).

If on Mac and you don’t fancy Home Brew, try MacPorts.

If on Windows, you have this post covering WSL 👋

Ok, I’m not sure what’s the issue here, and I unfortunately don’t have enough time to debug it in details for the moment.

One thing you could do is try to import Granite in a different gobject-introspection runtime (such as PyGObject) to validate that it’s a bug in node-gtk and it’s not caused by the Granite bindings.
