Thanks for the quick reply with options.

Yes, I am using kcoreaddons_desktop_to_json().

The error is at https://build.kde.org/job/kdb%20master%20kf5-qt5/36/PLATFORM=Linux,compiler=gcc/testReport/%28root%29/TestSuite/ConnectionTest/
I did not notice before because CI does not send notification for my repos (no idea how to enable them, reported to Sysadmin).

Yes, I plan to switch to JSON files entirely, so now I have extra reason.

Do you think the regression is worth removing or instead some statement can be made in the docs for kcoreaddons_desktop_to_json() about what are the guaranteed contents of the JSON?
