          @boky oh i was wrong, not that line, but the one that try to install Morph.Web ( qmlplugin... )
          I've updated the branch so you can rebuild the image
          After re-read your post it seems that you're not trying the add_module branch.
          So here i've no idea.

          What OS are you working on ?.
          Is your clickable up to date ?

              @lduboeuf said in [Guide] Code completion on Qt Creator for Ubuntu.Components:

              • A more generic solution using clickable image:

              I'm trying this approach. The path variable should include the qml dir

              cd ~/docs/devel
              mkdir qml-module-ubuntu-components
              cd qml-module-ubuntu-components/
              docker cp silly_bose:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml .
              export QML_IMPORT_PATH=~/docs/devel/qml-module-ubuntu-components/ 
              qtcreator # -> doesn't work
              export QML_IMPORT_PATH=~/docs/devel/qml-module-ubuntu-components/qml
              qtcreator # -> this works
              

              So, you should set the variable such that you find this one:

              ls -dl $QML_IMPORT_PATH/Ubuntu

                mhm, so while this works now to resolve import Ubuntu.Components 1.3 in a .qml file, but it still does not find #include <QtQml> or #include <QDebug> in a .cpp file. any idea?

                  @doniks are you working with a clickable template? I guess QtCreator does not find Qt libs, you should check in settings Qt paths

                      have you installed locally QtQuickControl 2 ?
                      sudo apt install qtquickcontrols2-5-dev

                      you can see if any issue with paths in kits

                        Video showing the WIP of having qtcreator running above clickable image :

                        full code completion for all UT components and qml modules , and can launch directly the app, you can debug the c++ part also.
                        The demo covers python and c++ clickable template, and address-book-app

                            @Abuabdellah i don't know if Ubuntu.Components are installable on 19.10 but you can wait for the clickable ide qtcreator feature or try the 1st post Guide solutions

                                      have you installed locally QtQuickControl 2 ?
                                      sudo apt install qtquickcontrols2-5-dev

                                      you can see if any issue with paths in kits

                                      Taking a new stab at this ... So, again resolving Ubuntu.Components in qml files works fine, but resolving Qt includes in cpp files does not. I have qtquickcontrols2-5-dev installed and I don't see anything screaming at me in the Kits section ... but maybe it's still wrong?! See attached. Qt version = None might be wrong?! But I can't select anything else.

                                      Update: In Kits -> Qt Versions there is nothing there. I guess that is the problem, but I can't figure out how to get anything in there ... I found some reports online that sudo apt install qt5-default might help, but it doesn't help me 😞

                                      Update2: Now I manually added /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake in Qt Versions, and selected that in the Kit, closed and reopened, but still doesn't find any QtStuff

                                        @doniks well it seems there is definitly an issue with Qt5 path. probably you may found resources around about that

                                          Just to share my experience for developping Apps with QtCreator:

                                          Should I use QtCreator from 16.04, ubuntu-sdk or can I use latest QtCreator form Qt online installer?

                                            @Talkless You can use whatever QtCreator version, the only limit is to use the right Qt Version ( 5.9.5 currently and soon 5.12 )

                                            Have you checked also theclickable ide qtcreator feature ?

                                              Yes, it did the trick! Very convenient.
                                              EDIT: well, OK, it would be much more convenient if that qtcreator had "clickable" integration to avoid terminal, but that's not that bad.
