I created an nsis installer with Octave hg id 3b0af21841d4 and MXE Octave hg id f5a1bf89669c.
After installation in the same folder that previously caused this error, Octave starts normally and the documentation panel works as expected.

Closing as fixed.

John, thanks for your patch. I applied it on top of hg id b3b78bf83113 and build an nsis installer.
It works perfectly. No longer any error messages on each start. Also the documentation works.

Looking at the change and reading the docs for Qt4 and Qt5, I'd say it should be safe to apply it on stable.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. All I can do is wait until I either get a working 5.12 qhelpgenerator or I get an update to 5.12.1 from the flatpak kde team.

I could try installing Qt 5.12.0 with Linuxbrew and building Octave against that, I'll follow up if I have the time to try that and any results worth reporting.

As things stand now I think we do want to apply your patch to Octave because this problem is very relevant on GNU/Linux systems that will start upgrading to 5.12 soon. Would be more confident if I could test various Qt combinations myself.

For reference, the QT bug report for 5.11->5.12 and fix for 5.12.1 is

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-72174


the QT bug report in comment #21 was a duplicate issue that was closed.

Yeah that would be right - the fix will only work with 5.12.1 and higher - 5.12 is just broken

I believe the only 'fix' for 5.12 is build the documentation file with 5.12+

John D - patching Octave 5.0.91 to apply readonlydoc.patch did not fix this problem for me on Debian with flatpak, building 5.0.91 official release candidate in flatpak against Qt 5.12 (not Qt 5.12.1), the error message persists and the docs are still unavailable.

Is it required to upgrade to Qt 5.12.1 as well as apply your patch? Is there any fix for this error in Qt 5.12?

In the current flatpak Qt 5.12 runtime environment:


$ qhelpgenerator -h
Segmentation fault


So bigger problems going on there, I have no way to help test this, other than testing the patch to try to apply the read-only flag to the help collection.

When I delete the qch and qhc files and try to let flatpak-build regenerate them using qhelpgenerator 5.12, it fails in the build with a segfault:


rm -f doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qch && \
perl ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl octave.html doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter && \
qhelpgenerator  doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp -o doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc >/dev/null && \
rm -f doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhp
/bin/sh: line 3: 17171 Segmentation fault      qhelpgenerator doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp -o doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc > /dev/null


Not very encouraging. Note that this is also with QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR=qhelpgenerator, because the two tools were merged in Qt 5.12.

And yeah, I'm not dismissing mxe-octave, I know that it's not feasible to build both native and cross versions of Qt just to be able to build the help files with the same version of Qt. I just wanted to test to see whether building the help with the same version of Qt would resolve this, and I can't even test that.

According to comments in the qt bug reports the files are backwards compatible but I guess its unknown if they tested or just think it is.


Forcing it to rebuild would fix it for the normal case - in mxe though, the helpgenerator is not a host created tool like the cross compiled moc, uic etc, so it ends up in that case that is uses whatever the user has installed.


So for mxe at least, either we need regenerate the updated one during the install or stop it from doing the updated on the file.

Aha, thank you, I think I finally understand that this is the same bug on Windows and on GNU/Linux. If someone builds Octave from the release tarball on ftp.gnu.org, they are running the Qt help files generated on jwe's system. So it's essentially the same situation where you are building the docs on your mxe-octave system with one version of Qt and reading them on a Windows system with Qt 5.12.

It looks to me like this isn't going to be fixed at some point, this is just the way Qt 5.12 and future versions are working, they have to upgrade the help file from the older format. So in general Octave will always be at risk of trying to load a help file from an older version of Qt, and we should support that. What about the inverse, a Qt help collection built with Qt 5.12 and then loaded on a system with Qt 5.9?

One thing I can test easily now is building in Flatpak again with Qt 5.12, but deleting the doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.q* files in the distribution before running make. If I understand this right now, that should avoid this error message because the files will have been built by the same host version of Qt, right?

If these qch/qhc files are not safely forward and backward compatible between Qt releases, should we be including them in the source distribution at all?

So is the patch as is something to push to octave, or just for mxe-octave ?

Apart from mxe-octave with its cross compiling, is there going to be a time where the version of the qt used to build will be different to the one its run against ?

I did try just a copy to the temp file, however at that point, although it doesn't complain about the file readly, it also doesn't show any documentation, instead 'doc plot' displays 'Your search did not match any documents'

So, so far patch from comment 42, is the working solution

From the QT docuemnttation:


QHelpEngine::QHelpEngine: Constructs a new help engine with the given parent. The help engine uses the information stored in the collectionFile for providing help. If the collection file does not already exist, it will be created.


Which I guess means it not read only.



QHelpEngineCore::copyCollectionFile: Creates the file fileName and copies all contents from the current collection file into the newly created file, and returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.



Which I am guessing may mean it creates a copy - it doesn't say 'uses the copy'

linguist does a cache copy from the read only source using copyCollectionFile and then opens it in the a new QHelpEngine instance.

I am trying something at the moment. At 12.0 put some extra tables in doc file, so since we are not building with 12, it doesnt put them in, however when we run the program, it sees they are not there and tries to put them in.

As part of that, if I am correct, the fix in qt 12.1
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/248149/6//ALL

provides the ability to be read only, however, does not set the read only property in the engine.


For the assistant program, they explicity set the readonly property so that it will not update the source file.



So we either need to 'set' the property to be read only and it wont update the source, or need to to a sudo run on the files when installing them, or use a older version of qt - however it will appear again when other OSs move to qt 5.12.


I'll know in a little while if the proty set works.

Tue 12 Feb 2019 06:54:40 PM UTC, comment #39: 

So your theory is that a QtHelp file successfully built with Qt 5.11 cannot be used as-is with Qt 5.12, that some kind of sql update procedure needs to be run and is run by Qt automatically when it is opened the first time?

Is there an explanation for why copying the file to a temporary location and opening it from there doesn't work? I still don't understand that part. Is that a problem in copyCollectionFile, since it's a Qt library method, it also requires that the original file be writeable by the user? Can we just use a normal file copy method instead of whatever copyCollectionFile does?

I have Qt5 v5.11.1 on Ubuntu 18.10. I usually build the 7z-dist target and unpack to a location where I have write permission. So I didn't notice the error before.

Is there something we can do to ship a qhc with added sql tables?

Tue 12 Feb 2019 01:30:11 PM UTC, comment #37: 

I think part of the issue may be that, we don't build qhelpgenerator as part of our qt5, so when building octave, its using the system installed one, which isn't adding sql tables it should have (that was fixed in qt 5.12.1)

Mon 11 Feb 2019 09:48:55 PM UTC, comment #35: 

Sorry for the confusion, I really should have opened a new bug report.

In libgui/src/documentation.cc (documentation::documentation) we call m_help_engine->copyCollectionFile (m_collection) to copy the collection file from its original (write-protected) location to the temp directory. That was failing for me.
After running, Octave once as an administrator (i.e. with write access to the location the collection file is stored) the error disappeared. During this run, the collection file changed in size.
That makes me believe that copyCollectionFile writes to the file at its original location, which I think it shouldn't need to.

Mon 11 Feb 2019 09:13:51 PM UTC, comment #34: 

This bug log is confusing. It was originally about user error, an incomplete Qt installation causing these error messages in either Qt 4 or Qt 5, solved by ensuring that QtSql is installed, done.

Now there is a regression with the update to Qt 5.12. I have also seen this on GNU/Linux with the flatpak build of Octave using Qt 5.12, and rolling back to Qt 5.11 solves it. So I agree this is a new bug in Qt 5.12, not related to how this bug report started.

Ignoring that confusion and reopening.

I don't think that making the help directory writeable by any user is a possible solution, Octave has to be able to run with its entire directory read-only.

If we are copying the help file to a temporary directory and using that file, why is this error happening? Where does the real error originate in the Qt libraries?

Flatpak does not have a working Qt 5.12.1 yet so I can't test to compare it against 5.12.

Mon 11 Feb 2019 09:01:54 PM UTC, comment #33: 

I think this is still a bug in Qt. We explicitly use copyCollectionFile to copy the help collection to the writable temp folder. And I sure can find that file there, too (oct-qhelp-*). Why is it necessary to modify the original file for this?

As a work-around: Can that specific folder be created with write access for all users?

If that or another solution is not easily possible, it might be OK if the user had to run Octave as administrator once. (But I don't really like that.)

I made a clean dist-build of Octave (hg id 7b9a5ab8350f) and build the nsis-installer from scratch with MXE Octave hg id ddd66d48a646.
Unfortunately, I still see the same error message.

I also tried installing the 5.0.91 from alpha.gnu.org on a different Windows 10 PC. On that PC, I don't see the error message and the documentation shows as expected.
On both systems, I am logged in as a user with administrative rights with UAC. On both systems, I let the installer open Octave at the end of the installation. At that point, and at every sub-sequent start, I received the same message that the qhc file could not be changed on my home PC.

I then started Octave with "run as administrator" and the message did not show. It also stopped displaying that message if I start Octave without administrative rights now.

I made a copy of the .qhc file before and after the start as admin. I am attaching both files in case that might help.

I am seeing this with the Windows installers for 5.0.90 and 5.0.91. Please see the attached screen shot.

If the database has to be modified only once, can this be done before packaging the installer?
Alternatively, can the installer do this while it still has elevated rights?

CC'ing JohnD. Should I open a new report? IMHO, this is a blocker for Octave 5 since the default documentation (e.g. "doc plot") is un-usable in the GUI.

Fri 18 Jan 2019 05:15:30 PM UTC, comment #21: 

I didn't read the whole discussion, so this may be mentioned already. But anyway, here is the solution that worked for me. I run Octave 4.4.1 from the Arch Linux repo.

Executing assistant on a file in readonly location fails due to bug:

$  assistant -collectionFile /usr/share/octave/4.4.1/doc/octave_interpreter.qch
Error reading collection file '/usr/share/octave/4.4.1/doc/octave_interpreter.qch': Cannot create index tables in file /usr/share/octave/4.4.1/doc/octave_interpreter.qch..


QHelpEngine fails to open collection in readonly location
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-73036

But executing it with sudo works fine and after doing this once Octave no longer shows the error dialog:

$ sudo assistant -collectionFile /usr/share/octave/4.4.1/doc/octave_interpreter.qch


I've also installed qt5-base and qt5-doc, but I'm not sure if that makes any difference.

Then I deleted the autogenerated "moc" files (rm libgui/src/m-editor/moc*) and the make script recreated them using the newly installed qt5 version of moc.

After that the compilation went smoothly and it runs :)

The QHelpEngine is looking for Qt4 versions for some reason, I would guess.  I'm using Mint (Ubuntu) and don't have libqt4-sql-sqlite installed.  I see no problems.  I don't have any Qt4 development packages installed though.  Do you have development versions of the Qt4 libraries installed (look for similarly named packages but with a "-dev" in the name)?

I don't see any files in that list that look like something Qt5 would need, except maybe this "overrides" file.  I have no idea what that is about.  Inside the file it says:

You're right, I was running it from ./run-octave --gui. I went ahead and did a make install and launched octave --gui and the two popups are still happening but with the path:

/usr/local/share/octave/4.4.0/doc/octave_interpreter.qhc

Wed 09 May 2018 04:29:40 PM UTC, comment #14: 

The more robust error message is showing that Octave is looking for the help file in

/home/octave-4.4.0/doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc

rather than the system directory.  How are you running Octave? 

Either one should do a "make install", in which case launching Octave would simply be "octave --gui &".  Otherwise, if it is a local build then one would do something like "<path-to-build-dir>/run-octave --gui &".  That "run-octave" sets up the environment properly.

But the path above makes no sense to me.  /home/octave-4.4.0 would be a user account "octave-4.4.0", not some "directory".  I can't imagine you created a system account "octave-4.4.0".

This opened a GUI containing the Octave manual. Success!

Then I configured and compiled with the robust help patch below. However, launching Octave (octave --gui) still gives 2 dialog boxes that need to be OK'd before the octave GUI opens.

The message in the first dialog box now reads:


Could not copy help collection

/home/octave-4.4.0/doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc

to a temporary file

/tmp/oct-qhelp-KOdbkB

Search capabilities may be affected.

@Ceral: Do you have "assistant" (Qt's help viewer) installed? If not can you install it (package name is "qt5-assistant") and then check it works properly with Octave's help collection? Something like:


assistant -collectionFile /usr/local/share/octave/4.4.0/doc/octave_interpreter.qhc

Thanks I will try to get the right Qt component(s) installed.

DOES NOT WORK: sudo apt-get install libqt5sql5-sqlite
DOES NOT WORK: sudo apt-get install qt5-default
DOES NOT WORK: sudo apt-get install libqt5-dev libqtcore5 libqtwebkit5 libqt5-network libqtgui5 libqt5-opengl-dev
DOES NOT WORK: sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5help5 libqt5sql5
DOES NOT WORK:  sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools
DOES NOT WORK: sudo apt-get install libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5scintilla2-dev

I'm just guessing, could definitely use some help!! :)

Because the GUI looks for the Qt-Help-formatted user manual regardless of whether you built with --disable-docs or not. It is expected that the Qt Help files will always be there and can be used by the GUI.

Since you are building from scratch, here's a diff file that you may patch with

linux $ ~/octave/octave/octave/patch -p1 < octave-documentation_more_robust_warning_message-djs2018may08.patch

Perhaps that will shed some light on what's happening.

When you are done testing, use "hg revert --all" to undo changes.

Still does not work for me :(

Just wondering why compiling with ./configure --disable-docs doesn't make this go away?

Correct. The Qt5Sql module is already correctly listed as a dependency on Qt5Help, so it is taken care of. The liboctgui.so library already depends on and links with libQt5Sql, so again, taken care of. This is only a result of fine-grained packaging decisions in Debian-based distributions. There is nothing for Octave to do here.

I wondered if the QtSql and Qt5Sql packages should be included (see attached changeset), e.g.,

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ba5af45bbfc4
https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Library_Cross_Dependencies

but that change doesn't seem to affect anything.  If libqt5sql5-sqlite is removed, the GUI is still configured in and compiles successfully.  Guess it is solely a runtime thing.

I can confirm the exact error message pop ups when Octave starts if I remove the package libqt5sql5-sqlite from my system.

This package should be installed by default on most current Debian and Ubuntu systems with the necessary Qt 5 packages for Octave, so this doesn't seem to be an Octave bug.

Please install libqt5sql5-sqlite and the messages should go away.

OK, that's a little more info.  Well, the code for this is in ./libgui/src/documentation.cc.  Here's the pertinent lines:


    // Get original collection
    QString collection = getenv ("OCTAVE_QTHELP_COLLECTION");
    if (collection.isEmpty ())
      collection = QString::fromStdString (config::oct_doc_dir ()
                                           + sys::file_ops::dir_sep_str ()
                                           + "octave_interpreter.qhc");

    // Setup the help engine with the original collection, use a writable copy
    // of the original collection and load the help data
    m_help_engine = new QHelpEngine (collection, this);

    QString tmpdir = QDir::tempPath();
    m_collection
      = QString::fromStdString (sys::tempnam (tmpdir.toStdString (),
                                              "oct-qhelp-"));

    if (m_help_engine->copyCollectionFile (m_collection))
      m_help_engine->setCollectionFile (m_collection);
    else
      QMessageBox::warning (this, tr ("Octave Documentation"),
                            tr ("Could not copy help collection to temporary\n"
                                "file. Search capabilities may be affected.\n"
                                "%1").arg (m_help_engine->error ()));


First, I'll point out that the warning message is a bit deficient in the sense it should print out the name m_collection as part of the message.

Second, I see that the latter portion of the error message is generated by Qt help engine, i.e., the %1 above would be "Cannot load sqlite database driver!" in your message.  So it may be something as simple as missing the sqlite database driver on your system.  Open your package manager and search for something that would handle sqlite support in a Qt framework.  I think most package managers have a search feature and then a filter search, so search on "qt5" or "sqlite" or something.  If it isn't installed, then install it.  In the Synaptic package manager I'm seeing:

libqt5sql5-sqlite
Qt 5 SQLite 3 database driver
Version: 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5

You could try setting environment variable OCTAVE_QTHELP_COLLECTION to point to the collection (i.e., the 4.4.0 patch), but I doubt that's the (sole) problem because one would think the Qt message would say it can't find file XYZ.

Thanks - I checked the locations you specified and the files are present in /usr/local/share/octave/4.4.0/doc/ but there is no sign of the oct-qhelp file in /tmp.

No idea why as I have write permission there. For a giggle I executed sudo octave --force-gui and received the same error/warning messages.

Figure out why Octave can't copy the help files and fix it, I guess.

One scenario is that the help files don't exist where they are supposed to.  It looks like on my system the help files are located somewhere like


linux # ls /usr/local/share/octave/4.5.0+/doc/ -l
total 4888
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4994048 Mar 30 15:26 octave_interpreter.qch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    8192 Mar 30 15:26 octave_interpreter.qhc


Of course, you would have a "4.4.0" rather than 4.5.0+.

A second scenario is that the temporary directory /tmp is not accessible to you for some reason.  It looks as though it is only the octave_interpreter.qhc file that gets copied:


linux # ls /tmp -l
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 sebald sebald 8192 May  5 00:41 oct-qhelp-5mbeqh


Notice the matching file size of 8192.

After compiling and launching 4.4 I get two GUI popup messages.


Could not copy help collection to temporary file. Search capabilities may be affected. Cannot load sqlite database driver!

OK


Then


Could not setup the data required for the documentation viewer. Only help texts in the Console Widget will be available.

OK


After clicking OK both times, it all works fine. Any way to remove the popups? I tried recompiling with --disable-docs but it didn't change the outcome.
