KDevelop trace that shows the error

Version:           4.1.0 (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

While starting up KDevelop I always get the message "Process exited with status 0". Then I click on the OK button and the application continues loading normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply start up the application


Expected Results:  
No error message should be shown while starting up the application

Besides, I've got a trace that might help you find the reason of this error. Please see the attachment.

seems to me as if a job from subversion registered to the runcontroller fails and then shell/runcontroller.cpp:616 triggers this message.

Will have to find a way to reproduce this - is the project you work on open source?

Comment 2 Andrey Zholos 2010-11-23 18:15:00 UTC

This happens because git is not installed. The command that fails to run
is "git --version".

Comment 3 Milian Wolff 2010-11-23 18:48:06 UTC

thanks, we should check that always of course.

Comment 4 Musikolo 2010-11-23 19:48:41 UTC

Hi,

I'm afraid Andrey guessed the real problem since I don't have git installed, as you can see in the next trace:

[elduro@Kalisto ~]$ pacman -Qs subversion
local/kdesdk-kioslave 4.5.3-1 (kde kdesdk)
    KDED Subversion Module
local/subversion 1.6.9-7
    Replacement for CVS, another versioning system (SVN)

[elduro@Kalisto ~]$ pacman -Qs git
local/cdparanoia 10.2-2
    Compact Disc Digital Audio extraction tool
local/digikam 1.5.0-1
    Digital photo management application for kde
local/libgphoto2 2.4.10.1-1
    The core library of gphoto2, designed to allow access to digital camera by external programs.

I think a check should be done and, in case a dependent program such as subversion or git isn't installed, it should show a log message informing the lack of a certain package and do nothing else. IMHO, this the minimum that must be done.

However, I later tested out that if I disable the subversion plug-in, the error stopped happening. Whatever the reason of this is, a bit weird it must be said, from the GUI point of view, I think that when the user clicks a plug-in's check-box to enable it, if its dependencies are not satisfied, a message should be shown, and don't let him/her to enable it till such dependencies are satisfied. This could be dropped in the wishes bag... I know...

Thanks everyone for your unconditional help! ;-)
