Hi,
the Serial Terminal plugin was added to Qt Creator in spring 2018. It
still has the experimental state, but I think the biggest problem is
that it is not included in the official Qt Creator builds. A lot of
potential users might not even know it exists.
Given the ongoing support for microcontrollers in Qt Creator, I think it
would be a good opportunity to deliver this plugin with Creator. It's
only dependency seems to be QSerialPort, which is a relatively
lightweight module and therefore should not hurt much.
it would be useful. I guess the percentage of users creating QtCreator from
source is close to 0. What is needed to get the Serial Terminal plugin out
of the "experimental" state?
Some description of what it does and how, a.k.a. "Basic documentation"
would be nice.
I've started to write some lines here:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/277700
Still WIP but feel free to add you comments and ideas.
For bonus points, something that resembles a test. Even a purely manual
one in the form of "Open X; Click Y; Type Z - Expected result: ABC"
That is mostly for the developer ensuring the plugin still works as
expected, right?
