Annoying problem with Qt Creator software after update

JoeCFD

@Kris-Revi The funny thing is that I had the same problem with QtCreator 14 on Ubuntu 22.04. But the same issue is gone in QtCreator 15 on Ubuntu 22.04. I am wondering if Qt developers have done enough testing before any releases.

@JoeCFD if that is the case then....

@Kris-Revi said in Annoying problem with Qt Creator software after update:

had to upload the video -> https://streamable.com/oxeb11

here you can see what i mean in action it happens constantly

Thank you for the video. I don't think this has anything to do with the licensing, you can forget about it.

The issue with licensing was that Qt Creator wouldn't start.

But this is a code completion issue. Some questions:

How powerful is the computer that are using?
Do you have clangd enabled in Preferences > C++ > Clangd
Can you compile your project?

In the video we can see that the code model has some issues. The project is not correctly configured.

Computer specs

MSI Z790-P PRO
Intel Core i9-13900K
DDR5, 5600MT/s 32GB 2x16GB DIMM
ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER OC

so don't think that is the problem

Clangd is enabled

also i was able to build/compile my project just fine

(FIY the project i had loaded in the video was a faulty project i just loaded up quickly to show the cursor loading problem)

You could have a look at Tools > Debug Qt Creator > Show Logs ... for details. But I don't actually know what to tell you to watch after.

Here in my Windows VM the wait cursor doesn't appear. I do have the Windows antivirus with real-time protection enabled.

@cristian-adam so i got something out of looking into the debug logs

something todo with Running command (sync)

@cristian-adam but what does it mean?

cristian-adam

It looks like there is an issue with the Android plugin having issues connecting to the Emulator.

But I think this should not have any effect on the code completion...

Kris Revi

@cristian-adam but i don't use an emulator i have my Samsung Pad connected!

also this problem happens without me writing or doing anything inside Qt Creator so i don't think it is a "code completion" problem

Kris Revi

still an issue tho

Kris Revi

hmmm so if i go inside "Android Studio" and press the Restart ADB Server then it fixes the problem but i have to do this EVERY SINGEL TIME i open Qt...

cristian-adam

At https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29826101/how-to-restart-adb-manually-from-android-studio we learn that one has to do a:

$ adb kill-server && adb start-server

You could have this in a script that start Qt Creator, or in Qt Creator as an external tool.
