Description Patrick Spendrin 2011-07-03 20:38:47 UTC

Version:           git master (using Devel) 
OS:                MS Windows

when I start kdevelop, there is an alert notification "Process Error - KDevelop"
"Process exited with status 0"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
open kdevelop (probably having git in the path is needed as well).

Actual Results:  
the alert notification comes up

Expected Results:  
either a more descriptive error notification, or no notification at all.

from looking at the debug output, it seems as if checking the git version fails. probably easy to fix.

we once had the same when git/svn was not installed at all, so indeed it might be related. can't find the bug reports for those though... I'll try to see whether I can somehow reproduce it on linux and find a way to improve the situation

Can you tell what's the title of the messagebox?

Also if you could attach a debugger and provide a backtrace of where it is, that would be great too.

Thanks for trying! Windows is important for us too!!

@aleix: the title is totally non-sense: "Process Error - KDevelop". I already found out that if I set the PATH variable to include the git binary file (before I only had a batch script which redirected to the binary file in another subdir) it works.

I just tried by uninstalling git and running kdevelop and I get a message box saying that the git plugin is disabled, but not your problem... :/

The backtrace would still be good :P

Comment 5 Patrick Spendrin 2011-07-13 08:53:08 UTC

@aleix: this is only on first start, e.g. after uninstalling git, you would have to remove/rename the .kde/kdev* files (I think), so to emulate a first run. On later startups, it didn't make any difference for me as well.
I will provide a backtrace hopefully later this week.

Hi! Is it still a problem?

Comment 7 Kevin Funk 2012-12-20 23:41:47 UTC

No feedback for quite some time. Closing.
