[Website feedback] KDevelop Help

[Kevin Funk]

When I try to bring up the Help for Kdevelop 5.0.3 I only get
The URI ‘help:kdevelop/index’ does not point to a valid page
How do I install the needed files?

Heya,

on which platform do you have this problem?

Regards,
Kevin

From IRC:

Hmm. Does the KDevelop handbook work for anyone? E.g. can you do Help ->
KDevelop Handbook and it'll show you something?

I get "Documentation not Found" when I try to open the handbook via KDevelop's
Help menu.

A search for "KDevelop" inside khelpcenter gives me results for KDevelop
(pointing to help:kdevelop/index.html), but when I click it I get
"Documentation not Found" again...

According to khelpcenter debug output it finds the index:

```
khc_xapianindexer(30458)/org.kde.khelpcenter.xapian.indexer: unknown(0):
documentation directories: ("/home/kfunk/devel/install/kdev-5.1/share/doc/
HTML/en/", "/home/kfunk/devel/install/master/share/doc/HTML/en/", "/usr/share/
doc/HTML/en/")
khc_xapianindexer(30458)/org.kde.khelpcenter.xapian.indexer: unknown(0): "/
home/kfunk/devel/install/kdev-5.1/share/doc/HTML/en/kdevelop/index.cache.bz2"
=> QSet("install-for-local-user.html", "exploring-source-code.html",
"credits.html", "setting-up-an-application-as-a-second-project.html", "code-
generation-with-templates.html", "building-kdevelop-from-sources.html",
...
```

Note: /home/kfunk/devel/install/kdev-5.1/ is my install prefix here.


Help? :)

Cheers,
Kevin

Yes and no. I have KF5 installed into /opt/local on a system that still uses a trusty (14.04 :)) KDE4 desktop. I've patched I forget which framework so that the KF5 help menu starts up the KF5 help centre.
Since I still have KDevelop 4.7.3 installed under /usr I do get KDevelop documentation, but it's for v4.4 (apparently that documentation was never updated?)

The KF5 help centre does show multiple entries for applications I have in both KDE4 and KF5 versions, but not for KDevelop. I guess that corresponds to what you're seeing.
