SUMMARY I have a c++ kate session with an existing ctags database. When trying to update the db, I receive an error saying that ctags can't be executed. It was working before and I my ctags installation is valid. My bet is, the problem was introduced with this commit: https://cgit.kde.org/kate.git/commit/addons/kate-ctags?id=30bde6d47a8727347f6deaa4b318669d078f85d2 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open an new session 2. Enable ctags-addon 3. Open the ctags-Toolbox 4. Add a folder containing c++ source files 5. Update index OBSERVED RESULT Message window popping up, saying that ctags can't be executed. EXPECTED RESULT Updated ctags database SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.18 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Ctags-version: Exuberant Ctags 5.9~svn20110310 Error message (German version, stripped personal information): „ctags -R --c++-types=+px --extra=+q --excmd=pattern --exclude=Makefile --exclude=. -f /home/XXXXX/.local/share/kate/katectags/session_db_20180322_192630 /home/XXXXX/code/XXXXX “ kann nicht ausgeführt werden.
