Sentry Crash Report:

Description Ralf Habacker 2024-12-12 12:16:08 UTC

KMyMoney plugins are normally installed into a subdirectory named `<qt-5-plugin-root-dir>/kmymoney_plugins` except a few one, which needs special attention to get associated tests working. 


SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. build kmymoney from master branch on Linux
2. run the created unit tests  with  QT_PLUGIN_PATH=<kmymoney-build-dir>/lib ctest --test-dir <kmymoney-build-dir> -t test
3. inspect the test results

OBSERVED RESULT
There are often test failures like: 

The following tests FAILED:
	 63 - mymoneyxmlreader-test (Failed)

EXPECTED RESULT
This test should not fail 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.5
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The main reason for this problem is that the requested plugin is created in a different location than expected, which requires additional manual actions.

Remove outdated symbolic link setup for running kmymoney from build dir

As the plugins are created in the 'kmymoney_plugins' subdirectory of the
build directory, the symbolic links that were previously required to
find these plugins are no longer necessary.

cmake: install onlinetasks plugin in kmymoney plugin directory

The mentioned plugin was created in a different directory which
resulted in manual actions being required to get unit tests that
use plugins to run. The problem has been fixed with this commit.

Another reason is that plugins created with the function kcoreaddons_add_plugin() in the kmymoney source code are expected in the subdirectory `bin` below the build root directory and the environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH is ignored when loading.
