Re: [gedit-list] I need help

Hello,

I can confirm that there is a bug when loading a document from a python
plugin. If you try to run the following in the python console (with an
existing file), it will work:

   encoding = gedit.gedit_encoding_get_current()
   uri = "file:///tmp/a_file_that_does_exist"
   tab = window.create_tab_from_uri(uri,encoding,0,False,False)

However, if you paste the same code in a python plugin and run it, gedit
will crash. This is strange, since the python console itself is also a
python plugin. Opening the tab is not the problem here, but loading the
document.

I created a sample plugin to reproduce the bug and put it here:
    http://www.stambouliote.de/pastebin/gedit-bug.tar.gz

Note that gedit will only crash if the file exists. Before running the
plugin, you should create this file: "/tmp/a_file_that_does_exist".

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
If not, I'll go ahead and file a bug.

Cheers,
Frederic
