[Ktechlab-devel] Status about preparing next release for KF6 / Qt6

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm sending a status report about what would be needed for a KF6 / Qt6
release. The current git master mostly works correctly, except the
following items:

- a newly created circuit or flowcode document cannot be saved, the
Save button is disbled for it. After the focus is changed away from it
and back, then the document can be save, the Save button is enabled

- when closing document tabs, I have observed some crashes on non-ASAN
[1] builds. The crashes might be related to a warning in terminal [2].

- there are many warnings about shortcuts not set with proper methods
[3]. Not sure about the impact, it should be investigated.

There is the known issue by me of KTechLab and Microbe leaking memory
; I'm not planning to tacle that before a new relaese ; fixing all the
memory leaks might require significant internal rework of the
application.


Feel free to test the current git master, and signal any issues you find.


Have fun,

 Zoltan




[1] ASAN - Address Sanitizer ; enabled for example by the
build-developer.sh script

[2] ./src/kxmlguiclient.cpp : 85 warning KXMLGUIClient::~KXMLGUIClient
-- 0x5110008fa128 deleted without having been removed from the factory
first. This will leak standalone  popupmenus and could lead to
crashes.

[3]  ./src/kxmlguifactory.cpp : 359 critical

[Ktechlab-devel] Port of KTechLab to Qt6/KF6 ready for more testing

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

in git master I have fixed the crash on document closing.
Based on my testing, also the example menu now shows up correctly.
Some testing of current git master would be useful, to make sure that
everyting works correctly before release.

The windows version of KTechLab currently builds and runs using the
KDE Craft system.

Currently I do not have a timeline for release.
The vesion number of the next release will be most likely 0.60 .

Have fun,

 Zoltan

[Ktechlab-devel] Porting of KTechLab to Qt6/KF6 started

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have started the porting of KTechLab to Qt6/KF6; an initial version
that compiles can be found in the `kf6-v0` branch :

https://invent.kde.org/sdk/ktechlab/-/tree/kf6-v0?ref_type=heads

Any help with making the new version usable is welcome.

The current status is:

This port builds and the application starts up, but it crashes when
closing the application or when closing any document.
The examples menu shows invalid entries.
I have also seen some warnings in the console, probably those would be
nice to fix, too.

Besides fixes, testing would be also very useful, to have a list of
know issues (and those to be fixed at some point).

Have fun,

 Zoltan

[Ktechlab-devel] Requesting feedback: to keep starting simulation at KTechLab startup or not ?

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hello,

A discussion started about automatically starting simulation at KTechLab
startup. Some feedback would be useful.

I have opened an issue about it here, with arguments listed:

https://invent.kde.org/sdk/ktechlab/-/issues/9

There are some pro and against arguments.

What is your opinion?


Best regards,

 Zoltan

[Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: [KTechLab] [Bug 473717] New: Application crashes on adding a subcircuit

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

FYI,

apparently KTechLab 0.51.0 might crash when using subcircuits.
Release 0.50.0 is not affected.
Fix is in git master [1]
Testing is welcome :-)

The crash is introduced by the modernistaion of signals/slots mechanism,
where a C++ lambda has been introduced, and I assume that those changes
interfere with some object lifetime.

Subcircuit that causes crash

SUMMARY
Ktechlab crashes when I try to add a custom subcircuit to another circuit.
This
started happening this week, it was working without problems before. This
only
happens with custom subcircuits and not the default ones.

[Ktechlab-devel] Junior tasks for KTechLab: fixing up cppcheck warnings

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have seen that KDE Gitlab now shows a nice report about potential issues
with source code. Most of these looks quite trivial, for example
non-initialized class members.
These could be fixed easily, and would help learning about the code-base,
or getting hands-on experience with C++.

For example see on this page, the "Code Quality" section:

https://invent.kde.org/sdk/ktechlab/-/merge_requests/25

Alternatively see the artifacts of the "cppcheck" task, here:

https://invent.kde.org/sdk/ktechlab/-/artifacts

look for " gl-code-quality-report.json " file.

The exact location and type of issues is shown both in json and in the web
interface, too.
Maybe there is a more user-friendly location where the warnings are shown.


Best regards,

 Zoltan

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] KTechLab 0.51.0

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi Amit,

I have looked into the modified files and I have several remarks. I
propose to have a code review about the changes.
Should I send them in email or maybe you prefer some discussion in a
pull request (e.g. KDE Invent) ?

Best regards,

 Zoltan

[Ktechlab-devel] KTechLab and KDE Gear

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

just FYI, there is a discussion on bugzilla about including KTechLab
in KDE Gear.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467657

I think it is a good idea, however, I assume that there are some
things to fix before getting there.


"

What I have found on the wiki:

https://community.kde.org/Schedules

" See Policies/Application_Lifecycle for what gets released where.  "

https://community.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle

- based on this, KTechLab currently is in playground
- to get into KDE Gear, it should go through kdereview
  - after kdereview, Ask release-team for inclusion --
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/

So, as I see, to get into KDE Gear, the following should be done:
1. prepare for kdereview
  1.1 see a checklist here: https://community.kde.org/ReleasingSoftware
  1.2 also see open bugs on bugzilla...
2. go through kdereview
  2.1 fix anything signaled there
3. apply for inclusion in KDE Gear

 Zoltan

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Preparing bugfix release 0.50.1

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

does anybody know how to use the releaseme / tarme scripts [1] with a branch?
Perhaps some branch name needs to be set in repo-metadata [2] ?

I have tried to use the tarme script for this release, but it only
fetches git master.

Given the recent updates around the translation files, maybe if I copy
the translations from 0.50.0, I could get a valid release in the
source control. But I'm not sure if creating a source code archive
from that as a release tarball is good or safe idea :-)

[Ktechlab-devel] Starting to prepare a release from git master, future 0.51.0

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

today I've fixed the only issue have I considered blocking for a new
release [1]. And all the fixes from the stable branch (0.50) are
included in git master.
I'm seriously thinking about creating a new release from git master.

Looking at git log, the changes since 0.50.0 are mostly are about code
modernization and error/stability fixing.
What I could call new feature is the experimental support for Windows.

Feedback on this topic is welcome.

If things go well, next week I will create a release tarball.

[Ktechlab-devel] Junior fixes for KTechLab: fixing warnings of deprecated API

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have seen that on the Continuous Integration (CI) systems at KDE
there are quite a few build warnings about usage of deprecated Qt /
KDE APIs. For example see the log from below:

https://invent.kde.org/sdk/ktechlab/-/jobs/416638

Fixing these warnings should be quite straightforward, most warnings
even show suggestions about what would be a possible fix.

In case someone would like to get familiar with KTechLab ot KDE or Qt
development, feel free to send merge requests with fixes to these
warnings.

Best regards,

 Zoltan

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Recommended KTECHLAB development setup for Windows 10 and Linux Mint 21 "Vanessa"

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

for windows environment there are some hints on the Craft wiki about
setting up a development environment with Qt Creator or Visual Studio
Code:

https://community.kde.org/Craft#Windows

https://community.kde.org/Craft#Using_Craft_with_VS_Code_.28or_Code-OSS.29

Personally I have only made some minor fixes on windows, using
Notepad++ and building from the Craft terminal and the git tools (git
gui and gitk )

On linux systems I use KDevelop for KTechLab, but any IDE that
supports CMake should work easily, like Qt Creator, Visual Studio
Code, ...


Best regards,

 Zoltan

[Ktechlab-devel] Recommended KTECHLAB development setup for Windows 10 and Linux Mint 21 "Vanessa"

[David J S B. <da...@dj...>]

Hi,
I'd like to learn a bit about Ktechlabs source code and maybe in time 
contribute to fixing some "beginner" bugs. What would you recommend as a 
development setup for Windows 10 or Linux Mint 21 "Vanessa". I have got 
the craft setup on my Windows 10 PC. Could development work be done from 
within this environment? Or would it be much easier to setup something 
in Linux Mint 21. I hope you can give me some advice. Thanks.

Regards,

David.

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

Hi,

I think it is normal that running the ktechlab.exe from other
directories than C:\CraftRoot\bin shows errors from missing DLLs.
Probably ktechlab.exe expects its dependencies (for example KDE and Qt
libraries) to be in the same directory (or in system directories?) and
otherwise it cannot find them.

Updating with Craft apparently can be done with

craft -i ktechlab

as I have seen in the documentation:

https://community.kde.org/Craft#Updating_a_package

This should get the latest code from git master.


Have fun with KTechLab,

 Zoltan

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

If you have Craft installed, then start the Craft powershell / terminal .
>From there, the command

craft ktechlab

should start the build of KTechLab.

As far as I remember, there is no need to explicitly download the blueprint
file, as it should be already located in Craft's directory hierarchy. On my
computer for example it is located in the directory:

C:\Craft_msvc2019\etc\blueprints\locations\craft-blueprints-kde\extragear\ktechlab

The directory

C:\Craft_msvc2019\etc\blueprints\locations\craft-blueprints-kde

should be a git clone of the repository

https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft-blueprints-kde/


If the build finishes with success,

craft --run ktechlab

should launch ktechlab.


Best regards,

 Zoltan

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[David J S B. <da...@dj...>]

Hi,
Could you please clarify for me what steps I should now take to compile 
Ktechlab using craft. I'm assuming that I need to copy this file to my 
computer

https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft-blueprints-kde/-/blob/master/extragear/ktechlab/ktechlab.py

If so where do I save the file?

I'm guessing that I should then open a powershell window. Which commands 
do I enter at the powershell command line? Thanks.

David.

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[David J S B. <da...@dj...>]

Hi,
I have managed to get craft setup from a powershell window. At one stage 
it asked me if I wanted to use a MINGW or a MSVC2019 compiler. I chose 
the latter. Everything seemed to install OK after a load of scary text 
scrolling by on the powershell screen. I will try compiling ktechlab 
using craft next weekend. I hope it all works out. I'll report back 
later. Thanks.

David.

As far as I know the installation script for Craft detects compilers and
allows selecting the one to use.

Where have you found this text? I do not remember manually setting up
environment...
When starting Craft, it loads some configuration files and sets up the
environment by itself, so I'm not sure if manual setup is needed. At least
when I have installed Craft last time, things mostly worked automatically.

Hope this is useful,

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[David J S B. <da...@dj...>]

Hi,
How would I set up the environment variables for MSVC 2019? The craft 
notes only mention 2015 and 2017

Note: For Microsoft Visual Studio compiler, it's necessary to have 
VCTOOLSREDISTDIR environment variable pointing to: "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2017\Professional\VC\Redist\MSVC\xx.xx.xxxxx" for MSVS 2017 and 
VCINSTALLDIR environment pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft 
Visual Studio\2015\Community\VC\" for MSVS 2015.

I have checked my environment variables and VCTOOLSREDISTDIR and 
VCINSTALLDIR does not exist in a permanent way (maybe these are set up 
somehow at run time). Would I just create these variable and point them 
to the relevant directories for MSVC 2019. What variables do you have 
set up? Any help welcome. Thanks.

David.

PS Maybe this will help?

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

MSVC / Visual Studio is just one of the required software components needed
for compiling KTechLab on Windows.
Some others are:
- Qt libraries
- dependencies of Qt libraries
- (some) KDE libraries
- dependencies of the KDE libraries
- (some) KDE runtime components
- dependencies of KDE runtime components

Theoretically you can set up all those manually, but probably it would take
quite some time and effort.

Installing all this software can be automated, essentially this is the
basic idea of Craft, as far as I know.

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[David J S B. <da...@dj...>]

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I will read the information in the links you provided and give craft a try.
Are there any other ways of compiling Ktechlab for Windows 10? I saw 
MSVC 2019 mentioned somewhere (I have VS 2019 and 2022 community 
editions installed).

David.

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[Zoltan P. <zol...@gm...>]

The craft recipe is in the craft-blueprints-kde repository [1] ; this git
repository (and several others) is automatically cloned when Craft is set
up.

https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft-blueprints-kde/-/blob/master/extragear/ktechlab/ktechlab.py

If you want to build KTechLab on windows, I highly recommend reading the
documentation about Craft...

Re: [Ktechlab-devel] Fwd: How do I compile/build KTECHLAB on Windows 10-Part2

[David J S B. <da...@dj...>]

Hi,
Ive managed to install KTECHLAB on linux Mint using the APT-GET command 
so I didn't have to build anything. Where is the craft recipe located? 
Is it in the source code repository? I'd like to give it a try. Thanks.

David.
