[Edge] Add link to Edge FAQ with information on installing runtime #2000 #2038
Conversation
…lipse-platform#2000 When the OS lacks a WebView2 runtime installation, an error is shown once a browser is initialized since Edge is used as the default browser on Windows. This change adds a link to the according FAQ page with information on how to install such a runtime to the error message. Resolves eclipse-platform#2000

Is GitHub raw file access supposed to be the "official" location of the FAQ now? Or should this be published to https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/swt/faq.html somehow? |
Yes. Most of the FAQs were part of the wiki and the wiki entries have been migrated to Markdown. I would suggest to move the relevant entries of the https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/swt/faq.html also to the FAQ md.

May be we could forward https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/swt/faq.html to the GitHub raw file to at least keep the existing link point to the most up-to-date FAQ? |
Hmm, there are many more SWT-specific FAQ entries in that list than we have under https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/tree/master/docs/FAQ/ So we'd lose a lot of information. I think we would need to migrate all SWT FAQ entries that are still relevant there to markdown. |
Yeah, right. I actually meant to add a redirect once everything has been migrated. But to be honest, I was not aware that there is still so much information to be migrated (I thought that most of it was already done). |
IIRC the information on the wikis were migrated (as the wiki was going down), so far not the rest. |

FYI, I'm currently trying to make sense of what's all there (documentation in the form of
I'm also looking to generate a list of a folder's contents (so that we don't have to maintain an index):
As a result, I stumbled upon this https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md I noticed that the very first link on this page is broken: @vogella Can docs/FAQ.md be deleted given we have docs/FAQ/The_Official_Eclipse_FAQs.md? In any case, I hope to make it easier to find and navigate this valuable content much of which @vogella helped migrate... |
It is not the same content in https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md In theory someone would have to go though it, check if the entries are still relevant and move them to the other FAQ.I did some clean-up in this document but ran (way) out of time. |
|
I see. So we have 3 different FAQ sources, none of which are known to be complete. 😱 Oh well, one step at a time. |
|
FYI, the links from the website are live. As such, there are these now:
It's a bit of a hodgepodge for which no one has the time nor inclination to fix it all. |
|
First link here seems also outdated it still points to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=SWT and the first entry explains in details what to put into the Bugzilla issue. Maybe a first step would be to delete the obvious obsolete entries in the SWT FAQ. (I'm not planning to do this, but I assume that would be a relative quick thing to do for an active SWT developer). |
