Description
- Go to "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Text Editor" -> "Generic Highlighter".
- Disconnect your machine from the network.
- Click "Download Definitions".
In the Preferences dialog you can read "Download finished". In the General Messages view, you can read:Highlighter updates: starting
Highlighter updates: doneThis suggests that the download was successful which it wasn't. Only when you started Creator from the command line, there you can read something like: "kf.syntaxhighlighting: QNetworkReply::HostNotFoundError".
Creator should check whether the download was successful and clearly indicate that to the user.
This was found with Squish test tst_generic_highlighter in Jenkins.
