Bug ID: 410087
Summary: Kate preview plugin doesn't render Markdown with
kmarkdownwebview plugin installed
Product: kate
Version: 19.04.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: plugin-preview
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jman012...@gmail.com
CC: kosse...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm unable to view a preview of any Markdown document using kmarkdownwebview.
I've ensured that kmarkdownwebview is installed correctly and is functioning
(thumbnails are generated in Dolphin when kmarkdownwebview is built with
-DUSE_QTWEBKIT=TRUE). I was able to get a preview of one document immediately
after building kmarkdownwebview, but after closing Kate and reopening it, I'm
unable to get a preview. This problem persists if I remove and reinstall
kmarkdownwebview.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Clone kmarkdownwebview repository: git clone
https://github.com/KDE/kmarkdownwebview.git
2. Enter the new directory: cd kmarkdownwebview
3. Get the latest stable version: git checkout tags/v0.5.5
4. Configure kmarkdownwebview: cmake -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=TRUE
-DUSE_QTWEBKIT=TRUE .
5. Build: make
6. Install: sudo make install
7. Set kmarkdownwebview as embedded Markdown viewer: Plasma settings >
Applications > File Associations > text/markdown > Embedding > move Markdown
Web View (kmarkdownwebviewpart) to the top
8. Open an existing Markdown file in Kate with preview plugin enabled
OBSERVED RESULT
Preview panel stays blank except for a "No preview available" message
EXPECTED RESULT
Preview panel renders a web view version of the current Markdown document.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
