Description cmartensms 2015-06-19 07:45:15 UTC

xdg-open always adds a trailing slash to the url that is opened.


Example desktop entry:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=lycheejsURL
Exec=/opt/lycheejs/bin/helper.sh %u
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
Categories=Development;System;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/lycheejs;

Example shell script:

#!/bin/bash
echo "$1";


... will lead to this behaviour:

$ xdg-open lycheejs://boot=development
"lycheejs://boot=development/"


This is a bug that is occuring on Ubuntu 15.04 with version 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu10 of xdg-utils.

Under what desktop environment do you see this?

Comment 2 cmartensms 2015-06-19 17:22:45 UTC

Validated on GNOME Shell 3.14.4, but I think it occurs on XFCE, too.
(Can't test atm)

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2015-06-19 17:25:17 UTC

ok, what happens if you try:

gvfs2-open lycheejs://boot=development

?

Comment 4 cmartensms 2015-06-19 17:58:22 UTC

gvfs-open lycheejs://boot=development results in the same behaviour with the trailing slash.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2015-06-19 18:05:50 UTC

OK, the bug is there then, not with xdg-utils

Comment 6 cmartensms 2015-06-19 18:47:22 UTC

Where to report the Bug then? Is it a Bug from Debian, is it a Bug from Ubuntu, is it a Bug that should land on launchpad, is it a bug that should land on some project's bugtracker?

I tried to use reportbug from Debian (as stated in their bug "tracker"), but seriously, this shit is totally broken on Ubuntu.


Note that I'm an enduser that tries to file a bug, not to compile half of an operating system to do so.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2015-06-22 17:06:14 UTC

I'd recommend starting with reporting the bug to your distro against gvfs component (owner of gvfs-open)
