Description ederag 2018-08-21 13:00:31 UTC

This looks like bug #369122, except it occurs for any link,
in kmail, or even a simple url shortcut on the desktop.
This is probably a duplicate of bug #393673,
but easier to find since here the error is in english.

rm -r ~/.cache
does not solve anything, even after a logout.

With a new user, it works.
So something is wrong in my configuration.
But it would be better to diagnose the issue.

inspired by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343329#c4:
/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kioexec cat ftp://ftp.gnu.org/README
command= "cat" args= ("cat", "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/README")
Copying QUrl("ftp://ftp.gnu.org/README")  to QUrl("file:///home/ederag/.cache/kioexec/krun/23201_0/README")
<fine README content>

So this is perhaps not a kioexec issue ?

This does not seem related to firefox either, since
/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kioexec firefox ftp://ftp.gnu.org/README
opens the README in firefox.

In what apps do you experience this? Everything?

Comment 3 ederag 2018-08-21 23:26:46 UTC

Tested in kmail, dolphin, and a link on the desktop.
Also happens after selecting some text in okular,
and right click>search for ... in duckduckgo.

Another clue: the behavior depends on the  link:
for links like

https://bitbucket.org/me_ydv_5/octave/wiki/Home
firefox opens with file:///home/ederag/.cache/kioexec/krun/16436_0/Home
in the url bar.
For https://bitbucket.org/me_ydv_5/octave/wiki
it opens with file:///home/ederag/.cache/kioexec/krun/16471_0/wiki
For https://bitbucket.org/me_ydv_5/octave/wiki/  (mind the ending slash),
error KIOExec: 
"A folder named /home/ederag/.cache/kioexec/krun/16497_0/ already exists."

System Settings>Default applications>Web Browser>open http and https:
changing the existing command: 
firefox
=>
firefox "%u"
solved it.

This is definitely not a KIO bug.
Closing as resolved, moved to opensuse
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105623

> firefox "%u" solved it.

Not quite: urls are opened twice.
firefox opens a new window, with two tabs holding the same urls.
Removing the "%u" (i.e. back to the previous buggy state),
the urls open normally, just once, in an already existing window.
looks like a [2009 thread](https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=39446).

Fixed in Frameworks 5.51 with the fix for 397742.
