Zeal doesn't open in Linux/Ubuntu

[AnthonyWC]

Running latest Zeal v0.4 + Plugin Version: 3.2.3 in Ubuntu 16.04 with Webstorm

I have the same problem in Arch linux with PyCharm.

i currently have no linux desktop system setup to test. can you please try if the following command opens zeal from the command line:

zeal --query test

or just

zeal

[TheWeirdDev]

The zeal --query test gives this error:

but it seems like zeal test is working fine:

[gdelmas]

looks like a zeal bug. can you please open an issue on its tracker and link it to this issue.

[gdelmas]

i see zeal changed some time ago. will try to fix.

duplicate of #54

Confirmed that it's working /w v3.2.5 Dash plugin.

[TheWeirdDev]

version 3.2.5 does not work for me. had to remove --query from code and recompile the extension to make it work.

[gdelmas]

@alireza6677 where did you remove --query from code in 3.2.5? it shouldn't be in there.

[TheWeirdDev]

@gdelmas Yes it wasn't there and it wasn't working. I downloaded an older version fork and changed the ZealLauncher.java, now it's working fine.

[gdelmas]

@alireza6677 when did you modify the fork and built it?

i suspect there the uri scheme is not registered correctly by zeal. you can try to use the uri scheme manually to debug this issue.

[TheWeirdDev]

@gdelmas Yesterday.

I tried a simple java app:

Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
URI uri = new URI("dash-plugin://keys=python&query=open");
desktop.browse(uri);

It opens up Zeal correctly. No idea why the extension doesn't work 🤔.

[gdelmas]

interessting. can you try building the plugin with the following line inserted here:

Notifications.Bus.notify(new Notification("Dash", "Dash: Debug ", uriStr, NotificationType.INFORMATION));

the ide's event window should display the uri then

[TheWeirdDev]

Dash: Debug : dash-plugin://keys=java,javafx,grails,groovy,playjava,spring,cvj,processing,javadoc&query=String

The query is valid and it actually worked !! But it doesn't work when i install the extension from intelliJ repositories.

[gdelmas]

thanks, for testing. it is getting complicated :)

• did you check if the repositories do not still have the old version 3.2.4 on?
• maybe there was an issue installing from the repo? you might try to uninstall the plugin and reinstall 3.2.5 from repo.
• does installing from this file work?

[TheWeirdDev]

• Repositories have the 3.2.5 version:

• Reinstalled and still does not work. just shows this:

• Installed the file and it works.

[TheWeirdDev]

I just removed all the IDE config files and reinstalled it. Then installed the extension. Seems to be working. Thanks !

Still no idea what was causing the problem.

[gdelmas]

probably the old file was stuck in some cache. thank you for debugging.
