SUMMARY Kile help points to the URL 'https://docs.kde.org/index.php?branch=stable5&language=en_GB&application=kile&path=/', on opening which we get the error 'The branch stable5 is not available for the specified application/language', along with a link to actual location of the documentation. Instead, it should point to 'https://docs.kde.org/index.php?branch=trunk5&language=en_GB&application=kile&path=/' (branch 'stable5' is changed to 'trunk5'). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kile 2. Press F1 OBSERVED RESULT A page is opened which says that documentation doesn't exist, but contains a link to the right URL. EXPECTED RESULT It should open the correct documentation link. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux distro: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
Pressing F1 does open a local help file, no online resource. Thus, I cannot reproduce the problem. I tracked down the outdated URL and updated it, see https://invent.kde.org/office/kile/-/merge_requests/55 Can you please 1) Check with current master (or will be Beta 4), if your problem still exist? 2) Describe again the steps you are doing?
It looks like the online thing is only opened when the user does not have khelpcenter installed. I can still reproduce the bug on current master (I used the kile-git package from the Arch AUR). Updated steps: 1. Make sure khelpcenter is not installed 2. Open Kile 3. Press F1 It still opens the same nonexistent URL with the wrong branch: https://docs.kde.org/index.php?branch=stable5&language=ta_IN&application=kile&path=index.html
https://invent.kde.org/office/kile/-/merge_requests/55 was not the right fix, I've reverted it.
Also, this is not an error of the application: it's about fixing the message of the website. But the behavior is correct, it just doesn't transparently redirect to the available doc but it gives you an additional link to click. This is a limitation of the website.
