Description muesli4 2015-09-09 17:48:49 UTC 
I just created 2 rules for udisks and NetworkManager (with priority 10 and 11), in both I had the same typo with "Action":

    polkit.addRule(function(Action, subject) {
        if (action.id == ...) {
            return polkit.Result.YES;
        }
    });

Result: For some reason I can't shutdown/suspend/hibernate but only logout. I have no other rules but '50-default.rules':
    polkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) {
        return ["unix-group:wheel"];
    });

Things I find problematic:
    1. I can't find the error source anywhere. (Are there logs or error messages?)
    2. Why does a single wrong rule affect all others? (did the JavaScript interpreter crash?)
