Launching external tool not doing anything
« on: November 20, 2025, 11:17:50 am »
Hello,

I'm using Lazarus 4.4 on Ubuntu 24.04.

I've configured an external tool (project1) that launches a Pascal binary with a -h parameter.

This should return the help message.

The working directory is $(ProjPath). I've added Ctrl-H as a keyboard shortcut (I've removed it from the only place is used to be).

The problem is, when I press Ctrl-H, nothing happens. When I go Tools -> Project1, nothing happens.

Shouldn't there be a message in Messages or the Event Log?

Since I saw the open issue before this thread, I already responded there: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/41920

Please include a link to the open issues next time. And could you please add a link to this forum topic in the issue description in bug tracker? This would be helpful for keeping track of both threads in case someone wants to reply here.
