Bug ID: 404566
Summary: KDevelop can get stuck trying to open a project
Product: kdevplatform
Version: 5.3.1
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: project
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sending a directory from the commandline to be opened in a running session can
lead to that session getting stuck calling a KIO function, with a KIO progress
dialog opening and closing at maximum speed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a KDevelop session or two
2. Execute `kdevelop /path/to/projectdir/subdir1/subdir2`, select the session
to target
EXPECTED RESULT
Anything but a stuck session.
KDevelop 5.3 branch head
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0
Qt Version: 5.9.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a classic example of a dead loop:
```
QUrl oldTest = testAt.adjusted(QUrl::RemoveFilename);
if(oldTest == testAt)
break;
```
QUrl::adjusted() returns the adjusted, not the old version and doesn't alter
its instance. The break test thus never succeeds unless QUrl::adjusted has no
effect to start with.
If the logic used is correct (keep removing filename(s) until that no longer
has an effect), the code should be something like:
```
QUrl oldTest = testAt;
testAt = testAt.adjusted(QUrl::RemoveFilename);
if(oldTest == testAt)
break;
```
