KDevelop @4.4.1: crashing at runtime

[milen.bilyanov@…]

Hi, I have installed KDevelop 4.4.1 on OSX 10.8.3 and XCode 4.6.2 with no problems so ever. However when I start KDevelop fom the Applications, the text and GUI looks a bit foggy (or at least not as sharp and clean as the OSX UI) and there are errors in the terminal (included below), then once I click "New From Template" it crashes. Here is what I get in the terminal:

Any idea or help? Thanks.

Thanks. In the future, please Cc relevant port maintainers.

Sure. Sorry. Thanks for your time and help.

The comment above seems very relevant. The issue seems like cases where the step of running kbuildsycoca4 had not been run.

Replying to nicos@…:

The comment above seems very relevant. The issue seems like cases where the step of running kbuildsycoca4 had not been run.

Hi, I have run the following:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist

it returned:

launchctl: Dubious ownership on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
nothing found to load

then:

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

and got:

org.freedesktop.dbus-session: Already loaded

then:

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.kdecache.plist

and got:

org.macports.kdecache: Already loaded

then:

kbuildsycoca4

and got:

kbuildsycoca4 running...

And then when I attempted to run KDevelop, I got exactly the same crash and error messages. Maybe the way I am trying to run is wrong? I want to start it through the terminal so I have the following symlink:

/Users/xxx/run/bin/kdevelop

Pointing to the /Applications location:

kdevelop -> /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kdevelop.app/Contents/MacOS/kdevelop

But that should not be the case, right? Cause I get the same problems once I run this through the icon as well.

Thanks.

No, both way to run it you are employing seem right. However, this

Hi, I have run the following:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist

it returned:

launchctl: Dubious ownership on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
nothing found to load

is not right. And if dbus is not loaded properly, I would assume that no kde application is running properly. Since ownership seem to be the issue, reactivating dbus may solve the issue

sudo port deactivate -f dbus
sudo port activate dbus
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
kbuildsycoca4

and if loading the daemon works, then running kdevelop may go better.

Hi Nicos, Thanks for you time. I really appreciate the help.

The commands you have provided above worked, so now no:

launchctl: Dubious ownership on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
nothing found to load

Everything seems to be working fine, and to be honest, KDevelop works kind of fine, unless I click "New From Template" from anywhere in the application. So what I am suspecting, maybe this bug is related to something else? I have installed KDevelop on its native KDE under Linux and it works perfectly, however even there it complaints about some KDE daemons etc. But never crashes when I go "New From Template"

Maybe some settings in there, for example something that it looks for is not there when "New From Template" is attempted to be invoked?

Thanks.

Ah, how about this? Just found it:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284061

Bug 284061 - (crash-svn-1.7) kdevelop crashes with svn 1.7 Status RESOLVED FIXED

Prior to mac ports and Kdevelop I have compiled and installed SVN v1.7 from source. it is on my PATH so gets picked up. It make sense that the New From Template function would check for version controls. And it does as far as I remember under Kubuntu. I will try rolling back to a different SVN version. Any further suggestion? Thanks.

[NicosPavlov]

I think it is something similar, but svn should not be the issue, as this bug report has been fixed on later versions, I think. Then, I also made a variant +subversion for kdevplatform, in order to forbid linking to apple's svn which was causing crashes. Kdevelop should thus either ignore svn without the variant, or use macport's svn (with which it works to my experience).

Then, a similar issue may arise because of git, when considering the line

kdevelop(76711)/kdevplatform (git) GitPlugin::parseGitVersionOutput: invalid git version string: "git version 1.7.12.4 (Apple Git-37)" 

I'll make some tests and hopefully find the source of the issue.

[milen.bilyanov@…]

Hello, anything new on this issue? :) Thanks.

[NicosPavlov]

The issue is more complicated than I anticipated, as it is not related only to Git. Adding this port as a dependency does not fully fix the issue, and I could not find the source of the crash yet.

[NicosPavlov]

The update to version 4.5.1 in (r112338 and r112344) appears to have solved this issue. Projects can now be created from templates, along with version control.
