How should I set up my environment for developing?

Kanduras · 16 Oct 2019, 19:57

Hi, I want to develop for UT with Atom or the Qt Creator, but are to bad to set up one of them correctly.
At first I create a project with Clickable.

On Atom I can open the project, edit some lines of code, save it and compile this via Terminal and Clickable.
The problem is, that there is no autocompletion and code-hint underlining (for me), what makes it very difficulty. I have the atom-build-clickable package installed, but don't know how to use it.

On Qt Creator I can develop "normal" Qt programs. If I want to open a Clickable project, there are a lot of Errors with the CMakeLists.txt and I cannot edit this project.

On this tutorial they set up only the unsupported(?) SDK.
In the official documentation I cannot find good hints...

So how did you do it?

I hope my English is good enough. Thanks a lot!

@Kanduras
Hello, you can build a clickable project with F9 or Package>Build>Build Project
But you need to configure the atom-build-clickable addon. For this go to Edit>Preferences

Go to "Packages" click on settings for atom-build-clickable
If you click on "View code" you can edit the plugin to adapt to your configuration.
I did it to use SSH to push my code instead of ADB, this way my phone can be free from the cable.

I hope this would help.

@AppLee
Thank you very much!
On Atom I needed also the 'build' package, but now it works

Is there a way for autocompletion and code-hint underlining in qml, on Atom?

If you want to stay on QtCreator, you can have autocompletion for Ubuntu Components by importing them on your PC:

@AppLee would you kindly explain how did you manage to compile via ssh with the clickable plugin? I followed your instructions and got to look at its code but didn't find out how to enable ssh...it would be very nice for me also not relying anymore on the usb cable

lduboeuf · 18 Oct 2019, 21:22

@matteo you can find information about connecting with ssh here : https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html

Don't know if phablet-tool still exist, but with that its pretty straight forward

matteo · 19 Oct 2019, 07:36

@lduboeuf thank you for your pointer, it is very appreciated to understand how to set up the ssh between phone and PC. However, what I'm more interested into is how to "force" the Atom clickable plugin to compile via ssh wireless instead than do it in the "normal" way, i.e. by adb tools with usb cable, which is the standard behavior. According to what @AppLee said above, if I didn't misunderstand, he was able to change something in the Atom clickable code, enabling the ssh communication.

Kanduras · 19 Oct 2019, 08:33

@matteo click on "View code", go to the clickable.js, in the "settings()" function (Line 99), and add:

{
        name: 'Clickable: Build and run [phone (ssh)]',
        exec: 'clickable',
        args: [ '--ssh YOUR_PHONE_IP' ],
        sh: true,
        functionMatch: function (terminal_output) {
          return errorHelper.checkBuildError(terminal_output)
        }
      }

P.S. don't forget the "," at the beginning or end

matteo · 19 Oct 2019, 10:10

@Kanduras thank you very much
Before changing the clickable plugin code following your instructions, I wanted to be sure the ssh connection was working but I didn't succeed yet. I also tried to generate again the ssh key and push it to the phone, but no joy up to now.
In the PC terminal, if I type the command ssh phablet@<ip-address> (ip-address found typing hostname -i in the terminal), I get an error message stating that the connection is refused on Port 22.
Any recommendation about how to fix that? I know ssh is very sensible with authorizing a connection and I believe I'm just slightly off the road....

Matteo

Kanduras · 19 Oct 2019, 10:28

@matteo I set up the SSH connection with the first answer of this question

matteo · 19 Oct 2019, 14:01

@Kanduras Great, it works!! Thank you very much You made my life much easier Now the set Atom/clickable really rocks!

Kind regards to you all @AppLee, @Kanduras and @lduboeuf

@lduboeuf I have Qt Creator installed on my computer. So, I was interested in setting it up with clickable. However, my computer is Debian, and not Ubuntu. Is this safe to do on Debian?

I tried, from way 0, to run the script, but stopped it midway through (see commandline stuff below) since it seemed that it was going to install a bunch of Ubuntu packages on my machine. And I wasn't running it as root, which is normally required for package installation. Odd. I stopped it before it installed all the Ubuntu things it was getting.

@MarkG_108 to me it looks like it would be installing INSIDE a docker container and not into your actual system

lduboeuf · 3 Dec 2019, 20:22

@MarkG_108 yes it is safe to use as it install all in a container. Here it seems that clickable image needs to be updated .

MarkG_108 · 3 Dec 2019, 21:21

@lduboeuf Great, I'll give it a try then.

poVoq · 3 Dec 2019, 21:31

Might be a nice addition:
https://github.com/rschiang/atom-language-qml

It's available in the Atom install dialog.

poVoq · 3 Dec 2019, 21:47

Some other interesting things I found for live preview of QML/QTQuick apps:

https://github.com/penk/terrarium-app (even has a Ubuntu Touch version!)

https://github.com/penk/qml-livereload

lduboeuf · 3 Dec 2019, 21:56

@poVoq yes, that one also worked for me : https://open-store.io/app/me.lduboeuf.livecoding

poVoq · 3 Dec 2019, 22:09

@lduboeuf Cool, that seems even better, need to try on my device Thanks for that.

i've just updated the script, i made a mistake regarding volume mapping if you want to see any files under your home directory... ( don't need to rebuild the image though, only the sh script)
