Bug ID: 397936
Summary: Kate reports errors for syntax xml file but NO DETAILS
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: syntax
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: trijez...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I have made a new syntax highlighting profile xml file. When opening a file
with the associated file extension, Kate opens a dialog box reporting
"warning(s) and/or error(s)" and displays a button to click on for details.
When I click that button, it opens another dialog box, but the details are
empty.
I thoroughly checked the xml file and cannot find anything wrong with it. I
checked that every list name is actually referenced, that every context
referenced is actually defined, that every attribute referenced actually has a
style entry. I also checked that no regex shadows that of another rule.
Besides, everything works as intended. I used xmllint to check the file and it
did not report any warnings nor errors. However, when I use the --valid switch,
xmllint reports that the language.dtd that ships with Kate has a "content
error":
$ xmllint --valid gll.xmllanguage.dtd:1: parser error : Content error in the
external subset
<!DOCTYPE dtd PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD DTDParse V2.0//EN"
^
When I installed the XML validation plugin for Kate and use the XML menu to
validate the file, Kate reports the same error then. This is not surprising
since the Kate plugin uses xmllint. Xmllint expects the DTD file in the same
directory as the file to be validated, so I had to copy the language.dtd file
first.
In any event, it is very annoying to get a dialog box that reports warnings or
errors but doesn't provide any detail. I have to dismiss the dialog box every
time I edit a file that uses the syntax profile. So would anybody else using
this (as I intend to contribute it).
