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
alt text

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.
