            Bug ID: 414529
           Summary: Unclear how to run analyzers
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 5.4.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Analyzer: Clang-Tidy
          Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Unclear how to run analyzers, e.g. Clang-Tidy.

After I open a project, the menu items under "Code -> Analyze Current
Project/File With -> ..." are all grayed out. There is no information in the UI
on how to run these analyzers.

If I build the project, some of the menu items become available. However it's
still unclear why this happens, from the user's perspective.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
Keep all Analyzers menu items available at all times. When the user attempts to
run an analyzer and it's not immediately available for some reason (e.g. the
project must be built before running analyzer), a warning message box should be
opened with the complete steps to perform before trying to run the analyzer
again. If building the project is the only requirement for an analyzer to work,
a button "Build, then Analyze" can be added into this Warning message box.
