Re: [Qt-creator] Creator stability

2010-03-24 Thread ext Raul Fernandes
Hi,

as user of different IDEs, I don't understand why qtcreator is trying to
provide more advanced features (such as QML support) if more basic features
are not implement/working properly. Important point: how can the team adopts
qtcreator as main development environment if it is not even getting more
stable? Is there any continuous integration environment which provides
nighly builds so we can see also testing results?

Regards, Raul.

As a user in the field who is bringing a development team from web
development across to embedded development using QML and Qt/Embedded I
second Bill's call for qt-creator's git to be put under some form of
automatic build testing. I need this stable so that my team will have
confidence to move ahead on our project.

[Qt-creator] Creator stability

2010-03-24 Thread Bill King
Bringing this over here as was requested ;)


I was just criticized for criticizing the quality of creator ("on the
basis of one bug report").

I thought we were an open company, part of that is being open to
criticism when things are not working.

Creator mainline is not working. I have reports both from internal and
external users on a regular basis of either creator not building, or
creator crashing upon startup. I have pushed the externals to submit
bugreports, but, again, my experience here has been less than glowing.
Being close to the front lines of the project, sometimes this can be missed.

To fix these issues, can we implement some sort of staging/CI system
like we have for Qt?

For qml usage, bleeding edge is the only choice currently, and the
perceived quality of creator from the bleeding edgers is that
creator's... not usable at all. That is not the Qt way, and not a
perception we should be having. Creator is an excellent product, and one
I use daily, and I'd like to go back to bleeding edge, as that's where
all the cool new features are :)

That's the idea :)

Not sure how this should look like. The Library is just a list with 
sections ... We could create different sections for different 
directories maybe? Or would it help you if subcomponents would be listed 
in the file system tree under resources too?

I can reproduce it, thanks for pointing it out!

Yeah, that's a long standing wish, which we just have to come around to 
implement :(

I'll look into it :)

Thanks for the report!

Unless you post minimal but compilable code it's really just poking
in the dark for anyone trying to help you.

The problem is not dynamically allocating something but in this case the 
question is really why you started to dynamically allocating a QStringList?
It does not really make sense in most cases and comes at additional cost.
