Bug ID: 413306
Summary: Build Plugin: wrong effective working directory if
kate working dir is not path of .kateproject file
Product: kate
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: i...@markus-pister.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using target settings imported from the kate project specification, the
kate working directory seems to be used instead of the one specified in the
project specification.
In my setup, the make file is located in the same folder as the .kateproject
file.
Thus I specified
"directory": "."
in the build section of the kate project file.
Trying to build fails because the make file is not found.
Patching the build command to print $PWD shows that kate's working dir is used.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Prepare kate build directory as described in
https://kate-editor.org/build-it/
2. Open kate such that its working dir is not the git clone's top-level dir
(e.g. using krunner or the main KDE menu)
3. Open an arbitrary file from the kate git clone
4. Try to build using build plugin
OBSERVED RESULT
The build fails and the build output window shows the following content:
> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
EXPECTED RESULT
The build process starts and succeeds.
