Bug ID: 517045
Summary: Kate Segmentation fault with view.executeCommand
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: scripting
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kate crashes if using view.executeCommand towards an command for a external
tool.
For note-taking in meetings I've added a "External Tool" which executes a bash
script to run Spectacle. This bash-script takes a screenshot with Spectacle,
and outputs the path in the Markdown image syntax in stdout.
I wanted to see if I could add this to a snippet I've added, using the
view.executeCommand API. However, this then crashes Kate with Segmentation
fault (core dumped).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable plugins "External Tools" and "Scripts & Snippets"
2. Define a external tool with an editor command "screenshot"
3. Add a Snippet, set the "Snippet Mode" to "Script"
4. Add the following code: view.executeCommand("screenshot", "");
5. Press "Test this snippet"
6. Kate crashes
OBSERVED RESULT
$ kate --startanon -n /tmp/test -b
QFormLayoutPrivate::setItem: Cell (1, 1) already occupied
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
EXPECTED RESULT
The output from the command/external tool should appear in the test-output when
pressing "Test this snippet"
