Bug ID: 438535
Summary: confusing "which was included from line NN" Config
Error from kdesrc-build
Product: kdesrc-build
Version: Git
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mp...@kde.org
Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Following https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development , I finally got to
building!, but got
Config Error: Unable to open file
/home/spage/programs/kde/src/kdesrc-build/kf5-qt5-build-include which was
included from line 42
But there's no line 42 in kdesrc-build.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up kdesrc-build
2. Wait several years 😉, repeat setup it in a different location
3. Run `kdesrc-build baloo`
OBSERVED RESULT
You get a great error message from `kdesrc-build baloo`
kdesrc-build encountered an exceptional error condition:
========
Config Error: Unable to open file
/home/spage/programs/kde/src/kdesrc-build/kf5-qt5-build-include which was
included from line 42
========
Can't continue, so stopping now.
but it's not processing the script file kdesrc-build, so ??
(Eventually I figured out the actual failing include is happening while parsing
my outdated configuration file ~/.kdesrc-buildrc , but you have to know to look
here.)
EXPECTED RESULT
It would be great if the configuration loading could say what config file it's
processing, e.g.
Config Error while processing ~/.kdesrc-buildrc : Unable to open file
/home/spage/programs/kde/src/kdesrc-build/kf5-qt5-build-include which was
included from its line 42
I realize this may be really hard to do, as the rc processing seems to be
happening in some Perl module that may be unaware of the context.
