Description Zoltan Padrah 2018-12-15 15:57:25 UTC

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. build, install ktechlab
2. in the menu, open Help -> KTechLab handbook
 

OBSERVED RESULT

3.a. KHelpCenter shows up, with a page "Documentation not found"

EXPECTED RESULT

3.b. KHelpCenter shows up, with KTechLab's manual

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04


OTER INFORMATION

The menu item launches

khelpcenter help:/ktechlab/index.html

if XDG_DATA_DIRS is prefixed with <ktechlab's installation path> + /share , then manually launching the command from above shows in the left pane ktechlab's manual and its chapters, while in the right pane it still shows "documentation not found" (URL:  "help:kioslave5/help/documentationnotfound/index.html"  ).

Clicking on the chapters shows parsing errors in the terminal, while clicking on the main page shows "documentation not found".

Perhaps it is related that ubuntu ships khelpcenter v5 (KF5 version), and ktechlab still used KDE 4 libraries.

Comment 1 Burkhard Lück 2018-12-16 14:57:51 UTC

using ktechlab master build from sources the documentation is displayed in khelpcenter

Comment 2 Zoltan Padrah 2018-12-16 16:05:49 UTC

That is a good news, thanks for checking. 
What would be the difference between your setup and mine? On which linux distribution have you performed the test?

Comment 3 Burkhard Lück 2018-12-17 13:38:57 UTC

self compiled KTechLab Version 0.40.1
Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.38

running on a up to date kf5 master build from sources

difference between our setups is probably the khelpcenter from kf5 I am using:
Help Center Version 5.7.3
KDE Frameworks 5.53.0
Qt 5.11.1 (built against 5.11.1)
The xcb windowing system

With a recent version from git, this issue still happens. The "Documentation not found" error is shown. Reopening.
