--- Comment #2 from Little Girl <littlerg...@gmail.com> --- UPDATED: SUMMARY The "Issue (shell) commands" section of the https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Krunner#Issue_.28shell.29_commands page in the KDE UserBase Wiki says that we can run shell commands from Krunner. I've tested it in an up-to-date copy of Kubuntu 22.04 LTS and have found that pressing the Enter key after putting a shell command into Krunner doesn't always cause the shell command to run. The failure can be consistently repeated by attempting to run shell commands that are expected to produce output and comparing that with the consistent success achieved by running shell commands that are not expected to produce output. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 01. Press alt+F2 to open Krunner. 02. Type this shell command that's not expected to produce output: kate 03. Press the Enter key. 04. Observe the expected result (and don't close Kate). 05. Type this shell command that's expected to produce output: which kate 06. Press the Enter key. 07. Observe the unexpected result. 08. Press alt+F2 to open Krunner again. 09. Type this shell command that's expected to produce output: which kate 10. Click the Konsole icon in Krunner's "Run which kate" search result. 11. Observe the expected result. 12. Press alt+F2 to open Krunner again. 13. Type this shell command that's not expected to produce output: pkill kate 14. Press the Enter key. 15. Observe the expected result. OBSERVED RESULT Step 04 result: Success: Krunner closes and Kate opens (successful press of the Enter key). Step 07 result: Failure: Krunner closes (unsuccessful press of the Enter key). Step 11 result: Success: Krunner closes and Konsole opens with output (successful click of the Konsole icon). Step 15 result: Success: Krunner closes and Kate closes (successful press of the Enter key). EXPECTED RESULT In step 07, Konsole should open with output when the Enter key is pressed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As a result of testing this issue, I found the additional Krunner issues below that may be related. I'm not sure if they belong here or in two separate additional bug reports, so I'm leaving them here for now. * If you type which kate into Krunner and click the "Run which Kate" entry in its search results, Krunner closes and nothing else happens. * If you use the Krunner textbox in the K menu instead of opening Krunner with alt+F2, there's no way to run the which kate shell command because there's no Konsole button in the search result and neither pressing the Enter key nor clicking on the "Run which kate" search result do anything. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
