Description Sam "SammyTheSnake" Penny 2012-12-22 12:55:45 UTC
I compiled from source using the latest git master for grantlee, kdevplatform, kdevelop, and kdev-python built in that order using
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

for each in turn.

When I try to create a new project, I get the following in the console and no other activity:

error: action path not found:  ("project_new") 
qrc:/Starting.qml:40: TypeError: Result of expression 'kdev.retrieveMenuAction("project/project_new")' [null] is not an object.

there were no errors during the build.

I expect I missed something in the buld / install process, but if so, it was something that wasn't obvious from the docmentation! :-P

Cheers & God bless
    Sam "SammyTheSnake" Penny  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build
2. install
3. run
4. click "new project"

Actual Results:  
only the errors in the console:

error: action path not found:  ("project_new") 
qrc:/Starting.qml:40: TypeError: Result of expression 'kdev.retrieveMenuAction("project/project_new")' [null] is not an object.


Expected Results:  
a dialog / wizard walking me through the process of creating a new project

I'm a n00b at building kde related stuff and reporting bugs against it, so please accept my appologies if I've missed something important or got the process wrong anywhere :-)

Two hints:
* Run kbuildsycoca4 before attempting to run KDevelop
* Also, it's best to remove the distro-provided kdevelop packages so you don't get library clashes.
* Last but not least, please refer to the support forums at http://forum.kde.org/ for these kind of questions - (It's clearly a setup issue). Or join us at #kdevelop/Freenode.
