Bug ID: 525060
Summary: `kate file.txt` does not work (exit code 1) anymore
after random crash
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 26.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: Homebrew (macOS)
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
`kate file.txt` does not work (exit code 1) anymore after random crash with no
obvious cause (both times it happened I was likely editing a Python file, with
LSP enabled; no "kate quit unexpectedly" dialog showed up).
Fixed by reboot (but not by logout/login).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Not possible, happens after a crash.
OBSERVED RESULT
`kate file.txt` exits with code 1, and no window shows up:
$ which kate
kate: aliased to /Applications/kate.app/Contents/MacOS/kate
$ kate file.txt; echo $?
[... dock icon bounces but nothing happens ...]
1
The same thing happens if an instance of kate is already running:
$ pkill -x kate
$ pgrep -fl kate
$ kate
kf.sonnet.core: Unable to handle language from dictionary "ko" "ko_KR"
kf.sonnet.core: Unable to handle language from dictionary "ars" "C"
[... kate window opens ...]
...in another terminal:
$ kate file.txt; echo $?
[... dock icon bounces but nothing happens ...]
1
$ kate --pid "$(pgrep -x kate)"; echo $?
[... dock icon bounces but nothing happens ...]
1
EXPECTED RESULT
Previous behavior: `kate file.txt` opens a new window if none exists, or opens
a new tab in the existing window.
