          • 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

                                  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.
