main c++ file
didn't mean to submit already
guess I'll fill out the info here cause I accidentally submitted this report before I finished writing STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create a folder called "test'folder" 2. create a makerfile project in that directory and import it to kdevelop 3. build project 4. press execute 5. add a compiled binary to test'folder 6. select the binary compiled by build 7. apply changes 8. program fails to run OBSERVED RESULT exits with the error "*** Failed to specify program to start: ***" EXPECTED RESULT program runs without issue SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 KDevelop splits the executable URL into arguments. I think it does that in order to detect potential quoting or meta character issues when a final, effective command line is formed (for running, debugging or profiling the program). Running your executable fails at https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/-/blob/e57ce526f7d6ef936881b3fdc1e8540b6888d29c/plugins/execute/executeplugin.cpp#L162 because of a quoting error. I am not sure a quote in the executable path can be properly supported for all possible uses of launch configurations. If making this work is important to you, feel free to fix and create a merge request. The fix will have to be thoroughly tested in different launch scenarios. |
