euclide fails to start (/usr/bin/euclide is out-of-date)

[Pim Vullers]

When I try to open euclide from slingshot it just opens scratch, without plugins. When I start it from a terminal it opens scratch with 4 files: -s, -n, -a and euclide. i.e. scratch fails to interpret the command/cannot find the plugins.

Adding confirmation with additional information. Built scratch and euclide from trunk on 2012-06-23 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, vala 0.16.

Same for me, built scratch and euclide from trunk on 2012-06-23 on Gentoo (hardened) 64-bit, vala 0.16.

Does it happen anymore?

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

It still happens, had to modify euclide script, since that was looking for scratch instead of scratch-text-editor.

[Nick Melnick (nmelnick)]

Yep, still happens. The "-a" is what throws it all off, with or without the argument expansion. Removing that causes euclide to start properly.

euclide launcher seems to be ok. Can't confirm this bug

[Nick Melnick (nmelnick)]

That's awesome.

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

Just build scratch and euclide from trunk. This gives me the following euclide script:

chaos ~ # cat /usr/bin/euclide
#!/usr/bin/env bash

scratch -s euclide -n -a $@
chaos ~ #

The desktop file contains:
...
Exec=scratch-text-editor --set euclide
...

So to me it seems the 'executable' did not get updated.

Happens to me.

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

The attached patch solves this bug and updates the /usr/bin/euclide script to use scratch-text-editor instead of scratch.
