Bug ID: 359902
Summary: Adding C++-based applets by double-click results in
"Error loading Applet: package inexistent. "
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.5.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
When adding the comic applet by DnD from the widget explorer to a containment,
there is no problem.
Trying to add it instead by double-click on the item in the widget explorer
results in an applet added with an error symbol and the text "Error loading
Applet: package inexistent. ".
Which poses a bigger problem when trying to add a widget to a panel, because
there is no DnD alternative (well, still possible to first create the applet on
a containment and then DnD it onto the panel, but... it should just work).
Found while discussing the C++-based Weather applet port which has the same
problem (cmp. https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127193/), which lead to the
assumption it might be C++-based applets specific.
"perhaps the setup applet scripts or so aren't run properly" was one
assumption.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Add widgets..." on panel or containment
2. Double-click "comic" item
Actual Results:
Applet with error symbol and the text "Error loading Applet: package
inexistent. " is added.
Expected Results:
Comic applet instance is added.
