Qt Creator and other tools

Thanks SGaist, That gives me a starting point. Clive

@Katja-Marttila Thank you very much! The code snippet seems to be exactly what i was looking for. And I really appreciate the effort to keep the documentation up to date.

@Bremenpl and @arsinte_andrei, as @VRonin said, in next Creator 4.10 this will work with simple rebuild. In older versions, you have to do it by hand. Regards

Hi again, I just solved both issues, displaying std::vector item values and hanging of gdb in qtcreator 4.9: If I switch on both "Use Debugging Helper" and "Load system GDB pretty printers", gdb hangs on the first breakpoint. If one of them is switched off, gdb works properly. But "Load system GDB pretty printers" seems to be useless for me now, and "Use Debugging Helper" provides exactly that functionality I missed here. Best Regards tkansgar

Ah, I was a moment too late :-)

Thanks for your help with this. The Qt Creator editor is a good alternative. I did run Dependency Walker - long time since I have looked at the output from this and not sure what I am seeing right now, but I've pasted the an abreviated version of the output below (too long to paste the whole thing) if it tells you something.

I knew it was something stupid, thanks

Yes, there is a bug with Qt Creator using PyQt5. The problem: it fails to parse/add files properly to the project. For example: main.pyproject main.py test1.py test2.py test3.py To temporarily fix this issue you have to do it manually: { "files": ["main.py", "test1.py", "test2.py", "test3.py"] } So, issue is that it parses .py files line by line, but instead it should be added to the array. I will also add this information here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-22393. Happy coding!

Yes, the sdktool is the "API" to add kits etc. to creator. The Qt installers use the sdktool.

@user2301 said in Package.xml without version: t, If i dont specify the version it will show Yes, "Version" is mandatory value for every IFW component. The version number is the mechanism to promote updates (online) to users. For example if you wanted to change the display name in some root component you want to promote that as an update for the online (installer) users. The installer "sees" the updates when componet's Version number has increased.

I created a bug report: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QDS-804

There is an example how to integrate Qt 3D Studio projects in our example playground: https://git.qt.io/public-demos/qtdesign-studio/tree/master/playground/robotarm

I have been seeing the same symptoms in Qt Creator for a while - currently I'm on Qt Creator 4.9.1 on macOS Mojave 10.14.5. The issue was accurately described - the grey border on the left, top, and bottom flickers light grey and dark grey in step with the cursor flickering on and off. The flickering goes away for a bit if I quit and restart Qt. I have tried switching color schemes, and that only helps in the sense that the flickering is less noticeable when it occurs, but it does not eliminate it and it is still noticeable. I believe I started seeing this issue after I upgraded to Mojave which introduced dark mode, but perhaps it was there before, when I upgraded Qt Creator. Has someone already filed a bug for this, or do we need to do that?

I'm running Qt Creator 4.9.0/4.9.1 on windows 10. I filed a bug report. For now I solved it by adding it to add_executable using a variable I comment out.

@aha_1980 That's what I thought. If I manually start valgrid it runs fine, it produces a report as well. I just wanted to make it work with Qt because it looks more convenient. I'll try updating Qt creator later on. Thanks
