SUMMARY
***
When running "Update Index in tab "Index Targets" in the CTags plugin, it produces an error with the message:

Failed to run ""ctags -R --c++-types=+px --extra=+q --excmd=pattern --exclude=Makefile --exclude=." -f "/home/guv/.local/share/kate/katectags/session_db_20240208_182054" "/data/amos/c/EDFbrowser" ". exitStatus = 0

If I run the following command in a terminal:

ctags -R --c++-types=+px --extra=+q --excmd=pattern --exclude=Makefile --exclude=. -f /home/guv/.local/share/kate/katectags/session_db_20240208_182054 /data/amos/c/EDFbrowser

then there's no error and CTags works fine, also in Kate. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is updating the index from within Kate.

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install ctags.
2. In Kate's plugin manager enable CTags.
3. Open the CTags windows in the bottom of Kate's main window.
4. In tab index add the directory that contains some sourcecode files.
    This is a weird experience, I cannot select a file or directory, I need to copy and paste the correct directory
   into the field of the filepicker in order to make it work...
5. Now click on the button "Update Index".

OBSERVED RESULT
A popup error message with the text:
Failed to run ""ctags -R --c++-types=+px --extra=+q --excmd=pattern --exclude=Makefile --exclude=." -f "/home/guv/.local/share/kate/katectags/session_db_20240208_182054" "/data/amos/c/EDFbrowser" ". exitStatus = 0

EXPECTED RESULT
No error message. Instead CTags should index the files in the directory selected in the steps above.
