Description Mircea Kitsune 2016-03-25 14:11:51 UTC
Clicking the Create entry or the + button does nothing. Accounts cannot be added for this reason, making the application unusable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Configure Desktop -> Online accounts.
2. Click the Create entry or the + button.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens, the buttons are clicked in vain.

Expected Results:  
A menu for configuring the new account should pop up!

This bug seems not related to the kaccount-integration and kaccount-providers packages, but related to some wrong managed dependencies.

To reproduce this bug in up-to-date archlinux machine (plasma 5.7.4, kde-applications 16.04), 
just install kaccount-providers and kaccount-integration packages (pacman will obviously handle dependecies): you'll end up with the "Online account" option in System Settings, but clicking on "Create" entry ends with nothing happened.

As I said, in my case (archlinux) seems to be  
To "fix" it, just install telepathy-kde group, which involve:
telepathy-kde-accounts-kcm
telepathy-kde-approver
telepathy-kde-auth-handler
telepathy-kde-call-ui
telepathy-kde-common-internals
telepathy-kde-contact-list
telepathy-kde-contact-runner
telepathy-kde-desktop-applets
telepathy-kde-filetransfer-handler
telepathy-kde-integration-module
telepathy-kde-send-file
telepathy-kde-text-ui

after that you'll be able to add online accounts.

On which linux platform did you test this bug?

@Lorenzo: on Arch I can add accounts just fine with only kaccounts-integration and kaccounts-providers installed, without any of the telepathy packages. Can you confirm this?

I believe this has been fixed since I last saw it. If I or anyone else runs into this problem with Plasma 5.13.0 or higher, please reopen this issue.
