Should git ignore .pyproject file?
-
@Developer123 Yes, it should not be committed to the repository
@jsulm So I put
*.pyprojectfile in.gitignore. Now I cloned the repository, and<projet>.pyprojectis not there. I tried opening the project within Qt Creator and... there is no file to select to open the project, only QML files, etc.If I simply open the folder within QtCreator, then the
Designtab doesn't work because it gives errors (QML emulator layer error, which was fixed on the original project that had the.pyproject.userfile). ButProjectsbutton on the left bar is grayed out and I can't set the settings again, alsoRunis grayed out, because... I have no project anymore?Are you sure we are supposed to ignore the
.pyprojectfile? -

@jsulm Ok so.. what's the solution for developing QtQuick (PySide2) with github?
@Developer123
[So far as I know.] Assuming this includes your.pyprojectfile (unless I have misunderstood), the "solution" is to include that in your git. You do not "like" that it causes differences due to re-ordering, but that does not make it "wrong". -

I think it would be worth creating a QtCreator bugreport for this current behavior. While adding a new file to the project will create a single line diff however they are ordered (or re-ordered), many diff tools are good at highlighting differences within a single line change. So they would benefit from not having the files re-ordered.

Any branch merges that add/remove components will collide and require manual inspection of every component of the entire project listed on the
.pyprojectfile. -

Well somehow others have managed. You have a choice: work with what you have now, or give up developing until you have reported the issue, it has been accepted, fixed and released, and you upgrade to that new version. That is your decision.If this is the only show-stopper, maybe you should write a small Python script to parse this file and re-order these lists to always be in, say, alphabetical order. You could use that when comparing, or if you say Qt only rewrites the lines when a new item is added you might run the script on the
.pyprojectfile whenever you/someone does add a new item and then only check in that file when it has been "normalized". Yes it's a pain, but that seems to be where you are at right now. -

It's not hard you know

This is a user forum, QtCreator developers most likely have not seen this post. You can create a bugreport so that they are made aware of this issue.

@mchinand Thanks that was a good advice.
I looked it up, this issue was already created, but the priority is "somewhat important".. so probably will remain a bug unless more people complain
