The call to `printUsage()` happens in `BrowserApplication::initialize()`, which is after the constructor has been called. The base class `QApplication` seems to require a Mir server (or X server) running.
Conclusion ---------- - In order to be able to print the usage on the console without requiring a Mir server this call needs to be made before the constructor is called. - It may also be a good idea to check all the command line arguments and reject invalid ones. (Is there no module available for this, similar to Python's argparse? Can we use QCommandLineParser? http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcommandlineparser.html) References ---------- - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/webbrowser-app/wily/view/head:/src/app/browserapplication.cpp#L121 - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/webbrowser-app/wily/view/head:/src/app/browserapplication.cpp#L42 - http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcommandlineparser.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525147 Title: webapp-container needs some help To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/webapps-sprint/+bug/1525147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
