Bug ID: 361071
Summary: Weather Forecast Widget - Cannot save configuration
when loaded in system tray
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.6.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: aexoxea...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
(Apologies for placing in General; I'm not sure if this is a System Tray issue
or a Widget issue. Will try to get back to you in a timely fashion for any info
needed for re-assignment.)
The Weather Forecast Widget is listed as an "Extra Item" that can be activated
in the System Tray. However, it is not useful as there is no default weather
station configuration, and a new weather station cannot be set; you can bring
up the configuration dialog, search for and set a weather station, but the
"Apply" button is never activated and the weather station is not saved when you
select the "OK" button.
This also applies to other settings (the update frequency and units). You also
can't work around this by switching between the configuration modules, as the
usual 'unsaved changes' prompt never shows. It's as though you've changed
nothing, even though you have.
The Widget can be configured fine when added directly to a panel, or to the
desktop (both of which serve as workarounds), so it's just when activating it
as a System Tray Extra Item.
(If the Widget is not meant to be available as a System Tray Extra Item, then
I'm happy for this bug to be closed once the configuration that causes it to be
available there is removed; however, I will leave that to those who know
whether this is intended or not.)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a panel and add a System Tray to it.
2. Access the System Tray Settings, "Entries" module, and enable "Weather
Forecast". The Widget appears by default as a blank space in the System Tray.
3. Access Weather Forecast Settings for that Widget, either "Weather Station"
or "Units" modules, and change one or more settings. Note that the "Apply"
button does not activate.
4. Press the "OK" button. Note that the Widget does nothing.
5. Re-access Weather Forecast Settings for that Widget. Note that none of the
settings that you changed were saved.
Actual Results:
Widget is not configured and does nothing; re-opening the configuration dialog
shows changes not saved.
Expected Results:
Widget is configured and loads the weather for the specified weather station.
plasmashell logs various warnings when accessing the Weather Forecast Widget's
configuration dialog. There are two key differences to what happens when doing
this for the Widget in the System Tray vs. the Widget directly on the
panel/desktop, which may be relevant:
(1) The following warnings are logged for Widget in System Tray which are NOT
logged for Widget directly in Panel/Desktop:
plasmashell:
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.weather/contents/ui/configWeatherStation.qml:63:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'nativeInterface' of null
plasmashell:
file:///usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/configuration/AppletConfiguration.qml:75:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'configuration' of null
(2) The following warnings are logged for Widget directly in Panel/Desktop
which are NOT logged for Widget in System Tray:
plasmashell: Calling KPluginInfo::property("Name") is deprecated, use
KPluginInfo::name() in "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/plasma/dataengine/ion_noaa.so"
instead.
