Qt Creator and other tools

You probably cannot do anything about that directly, and I'm not even sure if or how Qt Creator could find out what to write into the commands for this. A possible workaround to still be able to sensibly work with the project in Qt Creator might be to let CMake generate the compilation database, and then use the Compilation Database plugin (disabled by default, I think, so you might need to turn that on first) to directly open the project as a compilation database project instead of a CMake project https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-how-to-use-compilation-databases.html

I encourage you to go to the QSerialPort documentation. It's a the top of the page. Installing a module and making use of it in your project are two very different things. There's no reason for the installer nor the maintenance tool to go affect your projects. The "adding a library" part is for non Qt modules.

@cristian-adam you forgot to say please ;-)

My experiments with modifying Current Text Editor left side margin are stored in ZenMode_QtCreatorPlugin branch. Unfortunatelly - no success.

Thank you. That covers case action.setChecked("QtCreator.ToggleLeftSidebar", false) - so I can hide sidebars. Similary with action.setChecked(""QtCreator.Modes.IconsOnly", true).

@cristian-adam Very interesting, thank you. It turns out there is some vsdbg.exe, which I take to be the actual debugger as its own executable. Which you can "drive", if you know what to send it. I didn't care about DWARF, PDB etc. I was interested in which debuggers allow a host to "talk" to them and vice versa, send it commands, read variables, etc. Which is what Creator will require. I know gdb can do it. I didn't know there was a standalone executable for the debugger from VS, I thought it was a built in.

Hi, The Qt Company had to migrate their Jira instance. Everything is explained in this Wiki article.

@jsulm In /opt/Qt6/doc/ there are two folders called config and global. The contents of /opt/Qt6/examples are shown in the picture below: [image: 3efa5588-09ab-4525-b95d-1680d94f7516.png] Both folders are owned by root and have their permissions set to rwxr-xr-x

@jsulm I wondered about that myself. But it does not seem to be the issue. I fixed it by installing the dependencies from @cristian-adam comment :)

@srimuthu I think you will have to implement this by yourself. If you move the scroll bar to the top to see older messages you need to fetch those messages and add them to the widget, then the scrollbar should adjust.

Starting Qt Creator with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1 might have shown the culprit.

Hi and welcome to devnet, Beside the suggestion of @JonB, another thing you can try is to start Qt Creator with -temporarycleansettings to see if there might be something off with the settings.

@cristian-adam said in QtCreator 18.0.0 often throws file errors when modifying code and Ctrl+S.: @Calcifer You could use Process Monitor with qtcreator.exe and find out what is going on when you get the message box. Thank you! I have got Process Monitor opening, and trying to add my workdir to the whitelist of anti-virus software, that should work.

@JonB Thanks include_directories(<include directory>) worked.

@sandmeteor, very helpful, thanks a lot!

@Sosowski You might have to install gdb from the package manager. Then you would have to change the debugger in the Kit's settings.

Hi Thanks For your answer, It's Qt Creator, i use an external terminal. I used the Debbuger Log, but it closes when I close the application. Attached is the random error message that appears when I stop the application in debug mode and want to restart it. Thanks, VIncent [image: a29919e9-237b-470c-9f4e-1f3901ab9628.PNG]

@asenzz It has been mentioned in the past that the Android plugin could be the cause of short freezes. But we do need to know more details.
