Title:
applicationName ignored in pure QML apps importing Ubuntu.Web
Status in Web Browser App:
In Progress
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The dataPath for webviews is set in the plugin’s initializeEngine()
method, like so:
QDir
dataLocation(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation));
engine->rootContext()->setContextProperty("dataLocation",
dataLocation.absolutePath());
This works well if the application has a C++ wrapper that sets the
application name before loading any QML, but it doesn’t work so well
for pure QML applications that import Ubuntu.Web: at the point in time
when they import the module, the app name most likely hasn’t been set
yet, and as a result the generic name set by qmlscene is used,
resulting in a dataPath that looks like "~/.local/share/Qt
Project/QtQmlViewer".
We don’t want to force applications to ship a thin C++ wrapper just to
work around this issue, so we will need to figure out a way to delay
the setting of dataLocation until the webview is actually
instantiated.
