SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module

I have this error when trying to install the extension:

The settings of extension draw-on-your-screen2@zhrexl.github.com had an error:

SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module

I am having the same issue even if I follow the installation instructions.

Also getting the same error on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS after a recent update.

❯ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 42.9

OK it looks like you need to add the next step after git clone:

git checkout GNOMEv42

Everything else should be OK. Note you may need to use sudo systemctl restart gdm-service as Alt+F2 r doesn't work anymore.

Although reporting back, seems like it's still disabled from enabling...?
