Now to remove a wire in the sky, I create a path then I want to use the clone tool when stroking that path.

Then I get a dialog telling me to select a source image. Which I already did previously.
Steps are

• open image
  
• create path
  
• select clone tool
  
• ctrl + clic to define source
  
• select path
  
• stroke path
  
• select "use paint tool" (I translate, 'cause I use french HMI)
  
• select clone
  
• click stroke
  

Get a dialog saying to select source image.

• close that dialog
  

while the stroke path dialog open:

• ctrl + clic to define source
  
• click stroke
  

Get a dialog saying to select source image.

I tested that on both windows and linux.

Gimp 2.10.6

Did any body succeed in using clone when stroking a path ?

Btw, if you got a better trick to remove wires in pictures, I get it !

I remember to ask the developers once, and got the admittance that this wasn't thought about.

What you can do with your path is to either:

• stroke with the eraser to create a "hole" in the image and use the "Heal transparency" option of the resynthesize plugin.
  
• stroke a line in a new layer, alpha- to selection to get the selection on that line, and use the "Heal selection"  option of the resynthesize plugin on the image layer
