STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install craft on Linux https://community.kde.org/Craft

3.  build alkimia with 'craft --target=master alkimia'
3. run 'craft --run onlinequoteseditor5'

OBSERVED RESULT
The application crashes 

EXPECTED RESULT
The application should not crash

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The application crashes at https://invent.kde.org/office/alkimia/-/blob/master/tools/onlinequoteseditor/main.cpp?ref_type=heads#L48 where it tries to access an action from the help menu

    helpMenu.action(KHelpMenu::menuReportBug)->setVisible(false);

In this case a null pointer is returned and leads to the crash.
