Bug ID: 410087 Summary: Kate preview plugin doesn't render Markdown with kmarkdownwebview plugin installed Product: kate Version: 19.04.2 Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: plugin-preview Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: jman012...@gmail.com CC: kosse...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I'm unable to view a preview of any Markdown document using kmarkdownwebview. I've ensured that kmarkdownwebview is installed correctly and is functioning (thumbnails are generated in Dolphin when kmarkdownwebview is built with -DUSE_QTWEBKIT=TRUE). I was able to get a preview of one document immediately after building kmarkdownwebview, but after closing Kate and reopening it, I'm unable to get a preview. This problem persists if I remove and reinstall kmarkdownwebview. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Clone kmarkdownwebview repository: git clone https://github.com/KDE/kmarkdownwebview.git 2. Enter the new directory: cd kmarkdownwebview 3. Get the latest stable version: git checkout tags/v0.5.5 4. Configure kmarkdownwebview: cmake -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=TRUE -DUSE_QTWEBKIT=TRUE . 5. Build: make 6. Install: sudo make install 7. Set kmarkdownwebview as embedded Markdown viewer: Plasma settings > Applications > File Associations > text/markdown > Embedding > move Markdown Web View (kmarkdownwebviewpart) to the top 8. Open an existing Markdown file in Kate with preview plugin enabled OBSERVED RESULT Preview panel stays blank except for a "No preview available" message EXPECTED RESULT Preview panel renders a web view version of the current Markdown document.
