Be aware that you will get a popup from VSCode which informs you about opening an external website. You can also turn of the embedded webview for the online help and use your external browser by setting the eExternalBrowser to true. You can click the middle mouse button on that link and it will open in your external browser.

The normal mouse-click on a link which would open a new tab also don't work.

Most of the time it works when you can click on the document tab (Qt online help) and then press CTRL + F

Open the find menu via CTRL + F does not work in many scenarios, see #96307.

The integrate webview has some limitations: This search term will be send to the search of the Qt Documentation.īy default the qt website will be opened inside VSCode itself. This command will create a textbox inside vscode where you can enter your search term. h file and your cursor is inside a text block then the command will search that word as a class in the documentation. Right now only the latest Qt 5 version will be searched. The Qt online help can be used with this extension. The cmake.buildDirectory from cmake tools support variable substitution which looks like $ are supported variable substitutions! Online help If you have any problems with them create an issue on their issue tracker.

#VSCODE CMAKE LINUX MAC#

They work really well on windows, but on mac and linux there are some problems, because it is not based on the same implementation.

The debugger extension use normal natvis xml files (used via the launch.json setting visualizerFile from the C/C++ extension ).

If that is the case you can always trigger the Scan for Qt kits command in the command palette.

There are some situation where the automatic detection mechanism of Qt is not working.

You don't need to configure anything to be able to use the commands of this extension. This mode helpful when you have a system wide Qt installation like on Linux based operating systems. Search Qt in the PATH environment variable like it is done in the terminal. The benefit of this mode is that VSCode see the same Qt version as cmake is using, so it is automatically configured for you. You need to configure your project for the first time and afterwards every Qt tool is found automatically (when it is installed on your disk -) ) otherwise the launch of commands like Launch Qt Designer will fail.

The cmake build directory is extracted from the VSCode extension CMake Tools setting cmake.buildDirectory. CMake (default mode)Įxtract the Qt file locations from the cmake cache ( CMakeCache.txt). The search mode defines how this extension search the Qt binaries like qmake, Qt designer and so on.

You need to have the CMake Tools installed if you have activated the cmake mode, because this extension extracts some data from it!.

#VSCODE CMAKE LINUX LICENSE#

NOTE: I cannot bundle the Qt Visual Studio Tools natvis file into the extension itself because of it's license restrictions (MIT vs GPL)!

#VSCODE CMAKE LINUX DOWNLOAD#

When you set an url, the extension will only download it ones and cache it and will use the cached local version you can set qttools.visualizerFile to the natvis file from the offical Qt Visual Studio Tools ). You can also set your custom created/downloaded qt natvis file instead of the bundled one (which implement a few Qt types) by setting qttools.visualizerFile to a filepath or url (f.e. If you don't like that feature you can turn it of via qttools.injectNatvisFile setting. The Qt natvis file from this extension will automatically get injected into your existing launch.json file (per default). Debugger extensions (via natvis files).Extract the Qt file locations via PATH environment variable.Extract the Qt file locations from the cmake cache.You can set the executable path via qttools.creator settings if the extension can't find Qt Creator (for whatever reason)

#VSCODE CMAKE LINUX WINDOWS#

This extension try to detect the Qt Creator installation automatically (on Windows and MacOS). You can also open the whole workspace in Qt Creator too. The extension supports Qt file location extractions viaĬhoosing a different Qt version from disk via this extension is not supported! Features It is designed to be a similar tool to the Qt Visual Studio Tools from The Qt Company, but it tries to cooperate with other extensions for some functionality like e.g. This is NOT an official tool by The Qt Company!! This extension is work in progress, so some command/settings can change over time.
