Bug ID: 478528
Summary: Kate editor can't validate XML files ("Error: Failed
to find xmllint"), even though the plugin is activated
and libxml2 is present.
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.08.4
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: 3288p...@duck.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Kate editor (with the XML validation present and activated), select the
"XML" menu
2. Select Validate XML
OBSERVED RESULT
Message appears at the bottom:
[23:31:07  XMLCheck Error] Error: Failed to find xmllint. Please make sure
that xmllint is installed. It is part of libxml2.
EXPECTED RESULT
Currently loaded file to be checked by xmllint (via the "XML validation"
plugin, which is present and activated.)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 22h2 (OS build 19045.3803)
Debian 12.0, in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). No linux desktop.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- I tried both the KDE "Kate for Windows" installer and the Microsoft store.
Debian was downloaded from the Debian website and Linux Kate was installed with
apt-get.
For the Windows version of Kate, both kate.exe and libxml2.dll are in the same
folder (C:\Program Files\Kate\bin\) along with all the other Kate files. I
forgot to check in Debian before I uninstalled Kate (because the app's schemes
and themes probably need the kde desktop in order to work properly).
