Description Ralf Habacker 2021-07-15 06:45:52 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. download kmymoney binary build from https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/KMyMoney_Release_win64/
2. download dbgview from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview
3. start dbgview, then start kmymoney

OBSERVED RESULT
In the dbgview window you will find lines in the form 
   kf5.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Meldung von klauncher: Unbekanntes Protokoll „g“.\n"


EXPECTED RESULT
As this line indicate a problem with loading kio slave, the root cause should be fixed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

>    kf5.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Meldung von klauncher: Unbekanntes Protokoll „g“.\n"

The term „g“ is the first character from the installation path "g:\..." on Windows, which probably indicates a problem in kio parsing a windows path url.

Comment 2 Ahmad Samir 2021-07-15 20:11:07 UTC

Is klauncher available on windows? IIRC kate explicitly runs on windows by forking the slaved (probably setting KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1).

Builds from binary factory are not using klauncher by default, as on the cmake command line used to compile kio, KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1 is set. Also klauncher is not packaged.

I remember Ahmad was going to look at it, but I haven't heard from him since.

This problem is independent from klauncher.
