Hi
Well it worked so it seems fine. Good work.

What you mean make is missing?
But it did install a Qt version for you to use ?

It seems that
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130");
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130.gcc_64");

didnt really select anything?

if you look at the link a user posted

Controller.prototype.ComponentSelectionPageCallback = function() {
    var page = gui.pageWidgetByObjectName("ComponentSelectionPage");

    var archiveCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Archive");
    var latestCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Latest releases");
    var fetchButton = gui.findChild(page, "FetchCategoryButton");

    archiveCheckBox.click();
    latestCheckBox.click();
    fetchButton.click();

    // ...
}

Do you have that in script ?
As now the versions are grouped so i think the script is not totally updated with the new installers.

@mrjj ,

No the part above mentioned is not there in script for this it is as below

Controller.prototype.ComponentSelectionPageCallback = function() {
    function list_packages() {
      var components = installer.components();
      console.log("Available components: " + components.length);
      var packages = ["Packages: "];
      for (var i = 0 ; i < components.length ;i++) {
          packages.push(components[i].name);
      }
      console.log(packages.join(" "));
    }

    list_packages();

    var widget = gui.currentPageWidget();

    console.log(widget);

    widget.deselectAll();
    widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130");
    widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130.gcc_64");
    // widget.deselectComponent("");

    gui.clickButton(buttons.NextButton);
}

@mrjj,
Hi,

if i add the part

var page = gui.pageWidgetByObjectName("ComponentSelectionPage");

    var archiveCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Archive");
    var latestCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Latest releases");
    var fetchButton = gui.findChild(page, "FetchCategoryButton");

    archiveCheckBox.click();
    latestCheckBox.click();
    fetchButton.click();

    // ...

it give error for click() as function doesn't exist

@Kallappa
Hmm thats odd. it should work.

Do you need a special Qt or jus the newest ?

maybe you can just change the script to do that and ignore the Archive thing.

[Kallappa]

@mrjj
Hi,
yes, i just need Qt5.14.0 or Qt5.14.2 installation on server,
thats it.

if any other ways kindly suggest here or the Qt's reference doc if any for command line installation in ubuntu

[mrjj]

@Kallappa
sadly there is no commandline install version.

We need to change these lines
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130");
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130.gcc_64");
but I not sure what names should be for
Qt5.14.0
or if they will be in Archive.

Do you use the newest online installer from Qt site ?

It seems to have Qt5.14.0 in front

[mrjj]

hi
You can try
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.14.2");
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.14.2.gcc_64");
and see if that works.

I hope "Latest releases" is checked by default when running with this script else it wont work as nothing in list then.

[Kallappa]

@mrjj,

yes sure, Thanks, for your time
just now i tried with widget.selectAll(); instead of selecting each one
it works for me on Local system and now i will try on server.

thanks again

[mrjj]

@Kallappa
Ok, i cross fingers.
You might get a shitload of other stuff but hopefully, that won't matter :)

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT USE the offical Qt installers anymore. Use aqt install: https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall - Works perfectly on every platform.

[Kallappa]

Thanks @mrjj it worked for me on server also. :)

[mrjj]

@Kallappa
Good to hear :)
So did it install tons of stuff or just a few ?
I wonder what one will get with selectAll :)

[Kallappa]

@mrjj

hmm, Your right it is installed with all files related qt5.14.2

[mrjj]

@Kallappa
Ok i kinda though it might. but was not sure.
Thank you for reporting back.
