Automatic python modules documentation index page broken about freecad

[maxwxyz]

It opens the system browser on my side, everything working as expected with yesterdays weekly. Please report back if this issue still persists.

I am using yesterday's weekly.

[maxwxyz]

could it be related to general issues with the Appimage?

FreeCAD/src/Gui/OnlineDocumentation.cpp

Lines 130 to 132 in 9decb98

	"heading = pydoc.html.heading("
	"'<big><big><strong>Python: Index of Modules</strong></big></big>',"
	"'#ffffff', '#7799ee')\n"

Assuming this is the problem, I'm not seeing the 3 arguments here match up with the pydoc function:

@maxwxyz Are you sure this works on your end? Are you on Windows?

[maxwxyz]

I'm on Windows, yes.

It seems that specifically the '/' page is broken. http://localhost:7465/

@maxwxyz Can you check that specific URL after summoning Help > Automatic python modules documentation? If that specific page works for you, then there might be a deeper bug between QByteArray and Python. It really shouldn't work with the code I'm seeing.

[maxwxyz]

I've wiped my install and downloaded the latest weekly again and now I can reproduce. http://localhost:7465/

[krushia]

This is a super easy fix, so I'd like to take a shot at it. Trying to get a working dev environment setup now.

[maxwxyz]

Let me know if you have issues, otherwise I can create a PR before the freeze.

Works fine with
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (XFCE/xubuntu)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.22.0dev.37462 (Git)
Build type: debug
Branch: main
Hash: d126352
Python 3.10.12, Qt 5.15.3, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 7.1.1, OCC 7.5.1
Locale: German/Germany (de_DE)

Could be related to the Python version. What's the output if you type this into the Python console:

import pydoc
help(pydoc.html.heading)

Here it gives

Help on method heading in module pydoc:

heading(title, fgcol, bgcol, extras='') method of __main__.FreeCADDoc instance
    Format a page heading.

@wwmayer Not OP but this is the result when I click the command:

This is the result:

I have checked the heading() function and two arguments have been dropped. I am working on this right now...
