Ubuntu Touch sdk API and desktop mode

Aloys

Hello,

I'm a beginner, I just tried to generate an application click package.
I used clickable and when running in desktop mode, I have the error:

file:///home/...mypath.../build/all/app/install/qml/Main.qml:18 module "Ubuntu.Connectivity" is not installed

Command exited with non-zero exit status 255, see above for details. This is most likely not a problem with Clickable.

It is present only in desktop mode. And the error appears when I add in the Main.qml: import Ubuntu.Connectivity 1.0

But why Ubuntu.Connectivity cause an issue and not Ubuntu.Components? they are both in the Ubuntu Touch SDK.

I initially see this when building the Podbird application, and I reproduce it with the QML template of clickable. I would be also interested to know how the UT-sdk-API is used. I suppose that in native mode, is part of UT in the phone. But in desktop mode, is it managed by clickable within a container or have I to configure, install something else?

Thanks for your help!

I found my problem: my docker image was obsolete.
I delete the docker image "clickable/ubuntu-sdk 16.04-amd64"
I launch again: clickable desktop
It download a new image and run successfully without error.

I did not know anything about docker, here is what I discover:

First I read a bit on docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/
I understand that with docker there is the image and the container. The container is the execution of the image. The image can be downloaded from docker hub and I think this is what clickable does, the image for 16.04-amd64 is here https://hub.docker.com/r/clickable/ci-16.04-amd64 . And I suppose this image is built from: https://gitlab.com/clickable/clickable-docker-images/-/tree/master/ubuntu-sdk/16.04-amd64
to list the images: docker image ls

REPOSITORY             TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
clickable/ubuntu-sdk   16.04-armhf         62adb04a1781        13 months ago       2.92GB
clickable/ubuntu-sdk   16.04-amd64         b2a675929781        13 months ago       2.77GB

as you see my images were 13 months old!

to delete the 16.04-amd64 image: docker rmi b2a675929781
and I delete also the 16.04-armhf image

There is probably a better solution to update a docker image, no?

You should be able to run clickable update no?

Thank you @dobey, you're right!
That's was so simple but I did not see it.
And this is documented: http://clickable.bhdouglass.com/en/latest/commands.html#clickable-update
