Bug ID: 371453
Summary: Deleted entries in config file are not correctly
removed on save
Product: frameworks-kconfig
Version: 5.27.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: matt...@mjdsystems.ca
Reporter: alex.bikado...@kdemail.net
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
My application is called "main_EXE", the config file is saved at
"~/.config/main_EXErc" and this is the content:
>>>
[Startup]
MenuBar=Enabled
<<<
The (complete) application code:
>>>
#include <QApplication>
#include <KConfigCore/KConfigGroup>
#include <KConfigCore/KSharedConfig>
#include <KXmlGui/KXmlGuiWindow>
class MainWindow : public KXmlGuiWindow {
Q_OBJECT
public:
MainWindow() : KXmlGuiWindow(0) {
KSharedConfig::openConfig()->deleteGroup("Startup");
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
QApplication app(argc, argv);
MainWindow *window = new MainWindow();
window->show();
return app.exec();
}
#include "main.moc"
<<<
After running the code, this is the new content of the config file:
>>>
[Startup]
MenuBar[$d]
<<<
* removing the entry directly ( deleteEntry("ActiveTab") ) does not work too
* a sync() call writes the incorrect config to the file
* it works correctly if the config path is specified with a custom path
* it works correctly if the group was not in the config file when the
application started (create+delete works)
And most important: When I search for "[$d]" in ~/.config/* , there are 10
config files with these invalid entries (ksmserverrc, oktetarc, khotkeyrc,
plasmashellrc, ...). This bug is slowly messing up the config files for all KDE
applications and can trigger further bugs.
Reproducible: Always
