Integration vera++ in Qt Creator

juestone

Hi everyone, I am trying to integrate vera to Qt, even I found something such as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34768812/integrate-vera-or-other-coding-convention-tool-with-qt-qtcreator
I added the code block given there to Home/Qt/5.12.5/gcc_64/mkspecs/linux-g++-64/qmake.conf, but it didn't work. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and we are developing Qt Quick (Qml) application for an arm based mpu soc, thanks.

Shouldn't this file be in your project folder?
Also, linux-g++-64 is not for ARM.

juestone

I know it's not for arm but now I am compiling for x86 on dekstop for debugging, and I couldn't find that file in my project folder.

but it didn't work

Please provide more information, "didn't work" does not help much to find the issue...

juestone

Vera++ is a tool that allows checking the coding style of C++ source codes. The following things with the name of T008, L004 and the others are scripts that is checking the coding style of cpp source codes. It is possible to integrate this tool with Qt creator, considering the screenshots attached to their site.

@juestone This is not an answer to my question. I did not ask what Vera++ is, I asked what did not work for you when you tried to integrate it.
"but it didn't work" - is not a proper problem description...

juestone

I couldn't get those coding style warning when I debugged it, I think I couldn't succeed to integrate it shortly

@juestone Did you call "make vera++" as shown in the link you posted?

qmake
make qmake_all
make vera++

juestone

Yes when I called it on home dir, nothing happened. When I called on application dir, it gave error. When I called on build dir, it didn't give error, even it looks like it works, but i didn't get how I will use:
make:

/build-project-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_GCC_64bit-Debug$ qmake
Usage: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files]

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

Mode:
  -project       Put qmake into project file generation mode
                 In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                 be built,
                 defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
                 Note: The created .pro file probably will 
                 need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to 
                 specify what modules are required.
  -makefile      Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
                 In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
                 be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
                 file in your current working directory

Warnings Options:
  -Wnone         Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
                 later -W options
  -Wall          Turn on all warnings
  -Wparser       Turn on parser warnings
  -Wlogic        Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
  -Wdeprecated   Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)

Options:
   * You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be *
   * processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be    *
   * processed before [files] by default.                            *
  -o file        Write output to file
  -d             Increase debug level
  -t templ       Overrides TEMPLATE as templ
  -tp prefix     Overrides TEMPLATE so that prefix is prefixed into the value
  -help          This help
  -v             Version information
  -early         All subsequent variable assignments will be
                 parsed right before default_pre.prf
  -before        All subsequent variable assignments will be
                 parsed right before [files] (the default)
  -after         All subsequent variable assignments will be
                 parsed after [files]
  -late          All subsequent variable assignments will be
                 parsed right after default_post.prf
  -norecursive   Don't do a recursive search
  -recursive     Do a recursive search
  -set <prop> <value> Set persistent property
  -unset <prop>  Unset persistent property
  -query <prop>  Query persistent property. Show all if <prop> is empty.
  -qtconf file   Use file instead of looking for qt.conf
  -cache file    Use file as cache           [makefile mode only]
  -spec spec     Use spec as QMAKESPEC       [makefile mode only]
  -nocache       Don't use a cache file      [makefile mode only]
  -nodepend      Don't generate dependencies [makefile mode only]
  -nomoc         Don't generate moc targets  [makefile mode only]
  -nopwd         Don't look for files in pwd [project mode only]

In last status, I tried to debug the app but nothing happened.

vera++.xml

Was this file generated?

juestone

Unfortunately no

jsulm

@juestone .vera++.xml - there seems to be a dot as first character in the file name. Means: it is a hidden file, you need to make sure you also show hidden files when checking whether this file exists.

juestone

I couldn't file with the name of .vera++.xml both on home/Qt/.. and project dir. I enabled the visible of hidden files. But those command added these lines into Makefile inside app folder nut no changes on app debugging or running:

make_first: sub-app-make_first sub-tests-make_first  FORCE
all: sub-app-all sub-tests-all  FORCE
clean: sub-app-clean sub-tests-clean  FORCE
	-$(DEL_FILE) .vera++.xml
distclean: sub-app-distclean sub-tests-distclean  FORCE
	-$(DEL_FILE) Makefile
	-$(DEL_FILE) .qmake.stash
install_subtargets: sub-app-install_subtargets sub-tests-install_subtargets FORCE
uninstall_subtargets: sub-app-uninstall_subtargets sub-tests-uninstall_subtargets FORCE

vera++:
	vera++ --checkstyle-report .vera++.xml --show-rule

home/Qt/.. and project dir

It should be inside the build folder as any other file generated during the build...

@juestone said in Integration vera++ in Qt Creator:

Why should there be any changes? Vera++ is just a tool for code analysis.

juestone

I mean with change, I expect something like that on secreenshot on the website of vera++ or analysis codes can be displayed on the terminal, but I can't display anything about coding-style analysis.
