This is for tracking purposes, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484176 for the upstream report. Reproducible: Always
Proposed as a Blocker for 40-final by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because: The Help Center application is helpless and thus violates the Defaul application criterion.
Does it reproduce with the Plasma 6.0.3 / Gear 24.02.1 update? https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-abe8896868
Tested with khelpcenter-24.02.1-1.fc40.x86_64, bug still present.
I updated the upstream report with my findings.
Discussed at the 2024-04-01 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/ This was accepted as a Release Blocker as a violation of Final criterion: "For all release-blocking desktop / arch combinations, the following applications must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test: ... help viewer"
For posterity, the meeting log is at https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/blocker-review_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2024-04-01/f40-blocker-review.2024-04-01-16.01.html
Created attachment 2025229 [details] wich link work and which don't If I do a search on help center, for the same kcalc I found this results. Clicking on the same chapter link it give me the correct doc.Note that the working link is different from the buggy one.

I am not sure whether Comment 12 has been backported to Fedora, but I am still seeing the same behaviour on Fedora RC 1.13. I am reopening the bug. We will try to build the above fix from Nicolas and come back with more info.
Three reporters in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-12745d4cb3 said the update worked to fix this bug...can you say exactly what your reproduction procedure is, Lukas, and some more people can try and see if they also hit this?
ah, hmm, seems like https://invent.kde.org/system/khelpcenter/-/merge_requests/46#note_915071 and https://invent.kde.org/system/khelpcenter/-/merge_requests/46#note_915062 explain what the initial fix (which is what we currently have) broke. :/
I just tested here Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-40-1.13.iso and khelpcenter is doing fine, can't reproduce this bug anymore.
Can you try the things mentioned in the upstream comments? Links that have anchors, and links within the help for a given app?

Sure. When I open the Help Centre, the Help documentation opens fine. As far as I click into the left bar, the expected documents are seen in the right part of the application. So far, so good. However, when I start clicking on the subtopic in the right part of the application, many times I get "documentation not found." I will try to record a screencast.
Created attachment 2026365 [details] This is how it behaves for me.
ok, I navigate a little further now, trying to enter all links and chapters in different ways... now one of them returned the error message, so, not so perfectly working for me too. Tried six different pages, one returned the error. Here a screencast: https://geraldosimiao.fedorapeople.org/Screencasts/new-test-helpcenter-2024-04-11_12-16-56.mp4
Created attachment 2026369 [details] screenshot, link that works and link that doesn't work here is an example from akregator at helpcenter. One of the link return doc not found, all the others are ok.
(In reply to Adam Williamson from comment #17) > Can you try the things mentioned in the upstream comments? Links that have > anchors, and links within the help for a given app? yup, especialy the "links within the help" are problematic now in the version khelpcenter-24.02.1-2
