When you generate a project from a template, the wizard does not ask you for your name and email and does not fill the fields %{CURRENT_YEAR} %{AUTHOR} and <%{EMAIL}> in the created files Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Generate a project from the Project -> New from template... menu 2. The project is generated Actual Results: Files headers miss placeholders for year,name and email Expected Results: Placeholders are filled up with user data for year, name and email
FYI: Currently, KDevelop uses the information provided in System Settings -> Account Details. I'd like to see some kind of dialog for this, where the user can enter the details in case they're missing. Or at least a hint in KDevelop where to set them.
where do i get started with for fixing the bug?
First of all, get KDevelop up and running from your own compiled sources. Since we'll only accept feature development in the KF5/Qt5-based version, you'll have to walk through https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Building to get a KF5 setup. After this, you should also have a working kdevplatform/kdevelop setup. Then, you could try out the described functionality and think about how to improve the situation (e.g. at what point we can ask the user for the email/name information, etc.). Feel free to join us in #kdevelop at Freenode.
