Bug ID: 474866
Summary: Warning about kservices5 is not helpful
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version: 5.27.8
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kmcwilliampub...@gmail.com
CC: alexander.loh...@gmx.de, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When starting krunner from the terminal to debug an issue, I noticed this
warning output:
kf.runner: KRunner D-Bus plugin "vscode_runner" installs the .desktop file
("krunner/dbusplugins/plasma-runner-vscode_runner.desktop") still in the
kservices5 folder. Please install it to
${KDE_INSTALL_DATAROOTDIR}/krunner/dbusplugins.
However there doesn't seem to be any info about this variable:
KDE_INSTALL_DATAROOTDIR. It isn't an env var, and Google / bugs.kde.org / KDE
Invent all turn up zilch about it.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a plugin that uses the (presumably) depreciated install location,
for example: https://github.com/Merrit/vscode-runner/releases/tag/v1.3.0
2. Run krunner from the terminal
OBSERVED RESULT
Supremely unhelpful message about it using an old install location.
EXPECTED RESULT
A helpful message, or at least documentation somewhere on this variable.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 38 / Plasma 5.27.8
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Looking at the current template readme:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/krunner/-/blob/b98f238545dd4b488d6e7cbd96113f44844bb75d/templates/runner6python/README.md
It says to install to ~/.local/share/krunner/dbusplugins/ , so I presume it
means that KDE_INSTALL_DATAROOTDIR should likely be ~/.local/share/ , but again
this doesn't seem documented anywhere, nor did it seem to turn up in code
search.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
