When trying to install a external documentation via the "Get new Documentation" button (Settings->Configure KDevelop->Documentation->"Qt Help") the file itself is successfully downloaded, but not added to the documenation list. After I manually add the documentation from "/home/neon/kdepim/home/local/kdevelop-qthelp//libstdc++-v3.qch" I can use the documentation. Here the snippset of the log: org.kde.knewstuff.core: Writing 2213 bytes of data to "/tmp/r21335-libstdc++-v3.qch" org.kde.knewstuff.core: Wrote 2213 bytes. File is now size 5327872 org.kde.knewstuff.core: void KNSCore::HTTPWorker::handleFinished() QUrl("http://www.steveire.com/libstdc++-v3.qch") org.kde.knewstuff.core: Data for "http://www.steveire.com/libstdc++-v3.qch" was fetched "(NOT cached)" org.kde.knewstuff.core: Install: "STL API Documentation" from "/tmp/r21335-libstdc++-v3.qch" org.kde.knewstuff.core: installdir: "/home/neon/kdepim/home/local/kdevelop-qthelp/" org.kde.knewstuff.core: Postinstallation: uncompress the file Could not determine type of archive file ' "/tmp/r21335-libstdc++-v3.qch" ' org.kde.knewstuff.core: isarchive: false org.kde.knewstuff.core: installing non-archive from "http://www.steveire.com/libstdc++-v3.qch" org.kde.knewstuff.core: Install to file "/home/neon/kdepim/home/local/kdevelop-qthelp//libstdc++-v3.qch" org.kde.knewstuff.core: move: "/home/neon/kdepim/home/local/kdevelop-qthelp//libstdc++-v3.qch" to "/home/neon/kdepim/home/local/kdevelop-qthelp//libstdc++-v3.qch" Btw. I tried several external documentations and all show the same behaviour (frameworks, kdepimlibs, libstdc++, grantlee)
This bug seems a regression due some recent changes in KNewStuff code. The signal KNS3::Button::dialogFinished(const KNS3::Entry::List &changedEntries) caries entry objects who miss to have the property installedFiles set, despite that value being properly set inside the KNewStuff code. Which results in KDevelop looking at broken data and ignoring it then. See https://phabricator.kde.org/D7194#159565 for some discussion.
Git commit bcb7dd628811a4fab92274ea9da1d670c6046a1e by Friedrich W. H. Kossebau. Committed on 27/11/2017 at 21:42. Pushed by kossebau into branch 'master'. Revert "Detach before setting the d pointer" Summary: This reverts commits 04cc49c71bdb948e06ccae2d97d7cc1a1d2f62af as well as the follow-up partial fix c32c8d002e1216373560c94738841a7a5e1b976b The whole internal data sync'ing design of the KNewStuff core library relies on EntryInternal instances explicitely sharing the data. Changing only EntryInternal to implicitly shared data broke things. And changed behaviour of that class also for any 3rd-party consumers.
