SUMMARY The KDevelop app image consistently and reliably crashes when opening the Configuration page of a newly created project. I tried to GDB to get a backtrace but it can't intercept the crash somehow (child process terminated). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new empty project. 2. Add a file to it (I named it main.cpp). 3. Open Configuration OBSERVED RESULT KDevelop crashes. EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Ubuntu 18.04 with KDE desktop. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Using the app image from KDev.org
Editing project.kdev4 from Manager=KDevGenericManager to Manager=KDevCustomBuildSystem Allows me to open the properties page.
Thanks for the report. The Clazy plugin crashes Project Configuration if using a 'Generic' project. This has been fixed in 5.3.1, which should be released very soon. Workarounds are to disable the Clazy plugin or (as you've done) change the project type. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 400769 ***
