Failed to get image from provider: image://theme/clear-search

[Olivier Tilloy]

With the latest rc-proposed touch image, I’m not seeing the clear icon in the browser’s address bar, and the following error is in the logs:

file:///usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/1.0/Icon.qml:37:5: QML QQuickImage: Failed to get image from provider: image://theme/clear-search

I’m guessing that the icon was mistakenly removed from the theme?

This is fixed with latest version of the SDK which on latest builds (krillin 223)

 ubuntu-ui-toolkit (1.3.1795+15.04.20160106-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium
 .

I'm assuming fixing it in the SDK TextField class solves most instances of this error. But any app that decided to use the suru icon directly still would have this problem.

Is there no protocol for deprecating / removing icon names? Do we make no promises about availability there? Seems developer-hostile to just remove an icon without warning (not even enough warning that we ourselves fixed our code in time).
