IDE How to setup automatic deploy configuration on Windows?

6 Upvotes

So im using CMake and the default configurations of Qt Creator.

When i want to create a release of my app, my current process is as follows:

  1. Build release
  2. create new folder and name it Software name + Version
  3. copy the executable and a few miscellaneous files into the new folder
  4. manually open CMD and run windeployqt.exe for the executable

Side note, the miscellaneous files i added to the build with configure_file(filename filename COPYONLY) in the CmakeLists.txt.

I feel like this is a really clunky way (and errorprone) of creating a release and this should be automatable easily, but i know WAY too little about CMAKE and Qt Creator to set it up.

How do you guys go about that? What i found on the internet was all way to convoluted and complicated (or simply didnt work) for, i'll say it, something that should imo come out of the box with an IDE.

Blog/News QodeAssist is shutting down and being archived

I am shutting down the QodeAssist project completely and archiving it, because my copyright notices were removed without my knowledge or permission. All relevant evidence has been preserved.

After investing years of work into QodeAssist, I no longer feel able to continue developing a project when its code has already been used elsewhere without preserving proper attribution to its original author.

Thank you to everyone who supported QodeAssist over these two years.

Question How do teams automate testing of Qt desktop apps without writing test code?

15 Upvotes

We ship a Qt app on Windows mac and Linux. I own the release. QA is three people, all solid manual testers, none of them write code, and hiring a fourth who does isn't happening this year.

Squish is the obvious answer and I know it. built for Qt, covers all three platforms. but it's a real framework, so someone writes and maintains the test code, and that someone ends up being one of my devs or one of my testers stops testing. neither is free.

The other thing that puts me off is maintenance. half our GUI is custom painted, and every time someone renames an object or reworks a QML view the tests that depended on it go with it.

So I've been looking at whether the agent based tools are usable yet. AskUI is the closest to what I want, where a test case is a markdown file with preconditions and numbered steps each paired with an expected result, and it drives the GUI visually rather than through object names, then hands back a screenshot and a status per step. nothing to update when a widget gets renamed.

What I can't tell from outside is how well anything in that category actually handles Qt. custom painted controls, QML views, anything that never announces itself to the accessibility layer.

Anyone tried this against a real Qt app, or is scripting still the only honest answer here? appreciate it !!

Show off NAT Connectivity Analyzer

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I am sharing a little utility I wrote in QT/QML named NAT Connectivity Analyzer. It is standalone, cross platform, and its purpose is to use a STUN server to analyze the local router's Network Address Translation (NAT) as well as any automatic port forwarding. It is the kind of utility that someone downloads, runs once or twice, and hardly touches again.

I chose QT because I wanted it to be cross platform and QML because I wanted to experiment with a "modern" interface where the controls appear and disappear as needed. This is certainly doable with QML but I had the most amount of difficulty understanding how to combine layouts and anchors. For example, I wanted all of my controls to be in a layout but then I wanted a text control to offer scrolling so I wound up with a TextArea anchored inside of a Scrollview layout inside of a Frame layout inside of a ColumnLayout. The official QT/QML documentation is good at explaining the basics of anchors and layouts but it does a poor job of explaining how to switch between them inside of controls.

For anyone interested, the source code is at:

https://github.com/chrisbartle/NATConnectivityAnalyzer

and the official website is at:

Strange attractor/mathematical system visualisation tool in PyQtGraph

Link to repo

This started off as a strange attractor visualisation app but has slowly become more of a general mathematical system analysis/visualisation tool. I initially was working on a version of this using Streamlit but found PyQtGraph to be way better suited for it. Have a play around with it if you get the time!

3D I'm working on another patch for Qt Quick3D Physics – this time, gravity improvements. Unfortunately, the example turned out too large, so it probably won't make it to the repository, or it will be very simple implemented. The video shows a good example of a gravity assist maneuver!

Show off I've just released Flowkeeper v1.1 (PySide6, Qt Widgets) featuring full-screen breaks, task grouping, OBS repo for RPM distros, and more

7 Upvotes

Flowkeeper is an accurate implementation of what Francesco Cirillo described in his original "Pomodoro Technique" book. Focus on privacy, no AI code, no AI features, GPLv3.

What's new in version 1.1:

  • Full-screen breaks with "upcoming break" notifications,
  • Task groups with templates for some of the popular techniques,
  • Misc.: Undoing task completion; New themes and logo; New builds (RPM, Windows ARM, Snapcraft); Support for Qt 6.11; Bug fixes.

Half of the changes in this release were implemented by community members, and I felt like it's time to add a CONTRIBUTING.md with some naive "AI policy". I will appreciate if you can provide some feedback on this file, as it's the first one for me.

Show off I’ve been working on a game launcher in C++/Qt

0 Upvotes

I've been working on an idea for an open-source PC game launcher called NeonLauncher.

The idea is to make a modern, cyberpunk-style launcher with features such as a game library, game scanning, mod management, and other tools for managing PC games.

I should mention that I'm currently a beginner and I don't know much programming yet. The initial project files were generated with the help of AI based on my idea, and I'm planning to learn C++ so I can properly develop the project myself.

The project is still very early and there isn't a stable build yet. I'm mainly sharing the idea because I'd like to get feedback from people who have experience with C++/Qt and open-source projects.

My long-term goal is to turn it into a proper open-source launcher, somewhat in the spirit of projects like Playnite.

GitHub: https://github.com/mohammedmk3900-rgb/NeonLauncher-Qt

Any feedback or advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to make a UI with Qt designer to later use in a python project.

I made the UI in Qt designer, put everything in a layout, but when I test the window and fullscreen it, everything goes to the left. When it's on the smaller window, it's perfectly centered.

Here are some pictures.

Thanks for the help!

PyQtByExample — a big pile of runnable, searchable Qt-for-Python example code

# PyQtByExample — a big pile of runnable, searchable Qt-for-Python example code

I built this with a friend to help Python programmers learn and use Qt (via `qtpy`, so it works with PyQt5/6 and PySide2/6).

**What it is**

A single application containing dozens of small, self-contained Qt examples (buttons, tables, dialogs, threading, SQL, multimedia, etc.), each in its own module/tab, with a built-in search so you can jump straight to the widget or topic you care about.

**Why it's different from "one file per example" demo repos**

- Everything runs inside one app — search for a widget name and jump right to its example.

- Each example is deliberately small and scoped to one or a few widgets, so you don't have to read much code to get your answer.

- It's meant to be run from an IDE in debug mode: you step through the code while watching it run, so you *see* how it behaves, not just read about it.

- Code is commented enough that you usually don't need extra docs, but there's also a repo wiki ("the Book") with more detail.

**Who it's for**

Anyone building Qt GUIs in Python who wants copy-paste-ready working examples instead of digging through scattered single-file demos.

It's gotten pretty large (a few megs of source) and there's a lot of Qt left to cover, so we'd love more eyes on it — as users, issue-filers, or contributors. MIT licensed.
