dbus-register-method and introspection

[Rahguzar <rahguzar@zohomail.eu>]

Hello all,

I am playing with the d-bus integration in Emacs 29.0.91. When I
register a method with `dbus-register-method` I am unable to see what
effect it has had. For example if I evaluate the following code in the
node (dbus) Register Objects of the manual,


(defun my-dbus-method-handler (filename) (if (find-file filename)
  '(:boolean t) '(:boolean nil)))

(dbus-register-method :session "org.freedesktop.TextEditor"
 "/org/freedesktop/TextEditor" "org.freedesktop.TextEditor" "OpenFile"
 #'my-dbus-method-handler)

and then evaluate

(dbus-introspect-xml :session "org.freedesktop.TextEditor"
"/org/freedesktop/TextEditor")

I get nil. Similarly I can see the service 'org.freedesktop.TextEditor'
in the application 'd-feet' but clicking on it doesn't show the method
that was registered above and after a while I get a timeout error. This
is in contrast to other services for which I can see what interfaces and
methods they provide.

Is there a simple way to expose such information for the services
provided from inside emacs?

Thanks in advance,
Rahguzar
