Comment 1 Pranav Kant 2016-03-25 23:54:48 UTC 
For LibreOffice support, LibreOffice is required to be installed, particularly the libreofficekit package in fedora.

Comment 3 Pranav Kant 2016-03-26 14:44:35 UTC 
Aforementioned in Comment 1, you seem to be missing libreofficekit package. 

Please do 
dnf install libreofficekit
Comment 4 Heiko Adams 2016-03-26 14:55:33 UTC 
That did the trick, thanks. But may I suggest adding libreofficekit as a weak dependency to gnome-documents?
Comment 5 Debarshi Ray 2016-03-29 13:04:00 UTC 
Thanks for helping out, Pranav!

We should add some sort of dependency on libreofficekit to gnome-documents.spec. Even though the code using libreofficekit lives in the gnome-documents-libs sub-package, I think the dependency should be added to gnome-documents because gnome-books (the other app built from the sources) will not use those code paths.

Comment 7 Debarshi Ray 2016-03-29 13:08:12 UTC 
I am currently leaning towards a simple 'Requires: libreofficekit' so that we can minimize the effort needed to maintain the "libreofficekit is missing" code path.

From #fedora-desktop on GIMPNet:

12:22 <rishi> kalev: Hey!
12:22 <rishi> Would it be an issue if I add "Requires: libreofficekit" to       
      gnome-documents.spec ? Or would it be better to handle it through comps?
12:25 <mclasen> doesn't it get pulled in automatically as a library dep ?
12:34 <kalev> rishi: hey, I don't think it would be an issue as we're           
      installing most of libreoffice by default anyway
12:54 <rishi> mclasen: No. For gnome-documents it is a purely JS dependency,    
      and, as far as I know, nothing else uses libreofficekit.
12:54 <rishi> kalev: Ok.
