Bug ID: 404418
Summary: Gwenview doesn't report error when loading URL with
non-existent file
Product: gwenview
Version: 18.12.1
Platform: Mageia RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: gwenview-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jan-b...@gmx.co.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If we try to open an image URL that points to a non-existent file (but with a
working server part), like https://imgur.com/a/doesnotexiiiistttt.jpg,
Gwenview's progress indicator will spin forever, and we'll get this message:
> "We should not reach this point!"
which apparently comes from this file/line:
https://cgit.kde.org/gwenview.git/tree/lib/document/loadingdocumentimpl.cpp#n177
It's to be expected for Gwenview to clearly report that the file cannot be
found =)
However, with some servers, Gwenview will show that HTML files are not
supported instead, for instance, :
http://akarixb.nongnu.org/thisdoesnotexist.png
> Loading ‘thisdoesnotexist.png’ failed
> Gwenview cannot display documents of type text/html.
I imagine maybe this case can't be fixed, but at least the user get some kind
of error message.
Additionally, if the server doesn't even exist or can't be resolved, Gwenview
will also spin forever, but with no particular output in the console.
Example: $ gwenview https://weiorjwio3939399393eqweqe2213.com/fake.jpg
So, to try to sum up: it fails silently with URL's where the file doesn't
exist, but depending on the server it might get content-type html, and then
report that as the error, and also fails silently if the server doesn't exist.
Thank you for your time!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch 'gwenview https://imgur.com/a/doesnotexiiiistttt.jpg' or equivalent
from a terminal window.
2. Loading thingie spins forever.
3. Check terminal window for "We should not reach this point!" message.
