Can't usw the Help Mode

pauloloid

Hello,
I just installed Qt-creator and when I have my cursor for example at a pushbutton and click F1 it should bring me to the help file.
But it just open the Help windows and says:

"The page could not be found

Error loading: qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcore.532/qtwidgets/qpushbutton.html

Check that you have the corresponding documentation set installed."

!http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3798/f7ckiyhf_gif.htm()!

So are the doc files missing?

At tools - options - Help - Documentation i found those:
!http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3798/6ghjvhbx_gif.htm()!

Sometimes Help Asistance doesn't work,try using Qt Assistance or check the Qt Documentation in this page.

Maybe your push_button is a push button defined for you.

Hello, I've been having this problem off and on for a while, but I always thought there was some issue with the way I was building Qt (currently 5.3.1) and Qt Creator (3.2.81).

If I click on the help button on the left hand side, or click help->contents from the menu, I get exactly pauloiod got, except the main text said:

 @Error loading: qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.312/doc/index.html@

How do I determine if the correct doc was built/installed in my configuration?

Thanks!

Hi ErickFMA

What platform do you use?
Do you have Qt Assistant installed?

Hi Charlie...

Sorry, forget to mention Mac OS 10.9.5

Don't know what Qt Assistant is or if it's installed. Whatever I have is the result of building Qt 5.3.1 and Qt Creator 3.2.81 from the Git repository. If Qt Assistant isn't installed as a result of doing qmake/make on the repository, then I probably don't have it.

In that case, how do I install/build it?

Thanks!

I'll look into that. But I would think that if you built Qt-Creator it would have what it needed to view the Qt-Creator help. No?

OK, looked at the links...

http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/6158 Not quite the same issue. In this one, the internal documentation does display, which it doesn't for me

https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.7/assistant-custom-help-viewer.html#displaying-custom-documentation I'm not trying to do anything custom, just view the "built-in" help that comes with Qt-Creator

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/install-mac.html Not applicable, since it's for Qt 4.8. I've already built 5.3 (and I've been doing my old builds since 4.7), and the problem is in Qt-Creator as near as I can tell.

I should reiterate that, on occasion, my local build has had no problem displaying the Qt-Creator/Qt doc, and then suddenly, it can't.

One other thing that might be an issue, is where is the doc supposed to live?

In the preferences, under Help, "I see this: ":http://feigenson.net/ForumUploads/ScreenShot2014-11-23at11.38.54PM.jpg

I'm wondering where qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.312/doc/index.html is supposed to live on my disk. I don't know how to parse a qthelp URL.

Anyone have any ideas on that?

Thanks!
