MacOS Monterey 12.5, M1 Ultra, Qt Creator 7.0.2, Felgo 3.10

The LIVE-Run button is not visible in my version of Qt Creator. I tried to find a setting in the app to toggle that, but I was unable to find one.

I tried removing the app and all the Felgo-related stuff I could find in Application Settings.  A fresh installation has the same issue.  I found a backed up version of Qt Creator ( 4.11.2 from 2020 ), and it works with regards to LIVE-Run, but has other issues, of course.

How do I make the LIVE-run button visible?

Hi Steve,

when you open Qt Creator 7.0.2 that comes with the Felgo SDK, do you see any Qt Creator Plugin errors at startup?

You can also go to Qt Creator > About Plugins and search for “Felgo”:
Image: QtC Plugin Details

There should be two Felgo Plugins active. The “Felgo Getting Started” plugin handles the “Welcome to Felgo” tab with quick links to playground projects, the docs or the Dev App. If the “Felgo Live” plugin is checked, you should see the “Live Run” button at the left side.

Do you see any error in the Details of the Felgo Live plugin?

Best,
Günther

Hi Günther,

Thank you for helping with my LIVE-Run issue.

I don’t see any plugin errors at startup.

When I open About Plugins, I don’t see, and search does not find, any Felgo plugins.

My Qt Creator 7.0.2 build is based on Qt 6.2.3, May 23 2022 01:27:14, from revision ac1e86fe74.

What do you recommend I try next?

If none of the Felgo plugins are listed, I assume you also do not see a “Felgo” mode in the tabs on the left side (below “Help”)?

Let us also quickly check in the file system if the plugins are actually part of the Qt Creator bundle:
– Go to felgo-installation-dir/Qt Creator.app
– Then right-click “Show Package Contents”
– Go to Contents/Plugins
– The folder should include libFelgoLivePlugin.dylib and libGettingStarted.dylib

Are the mentioned plugin libraries present in the file system?

[Steve]

There is a section in the Help called “Felgo Components.”  Help is the last button in the top group of left-side buttons.  After a large gap, the next button is the Debug button for my open project.

Both .dylibs are in the Contents/Plugins folder.

Thanks for checking. It seems that Qt Creator fails to load both Felgo Plugins on your system and the respective features are thus not present in Qt Creator.

To get some more information why it fails we would need the Qt Creator log output with debug information for plugins, you can follow these steps:
– Open Terminal
– Move into your Felgo installation dir (e.g. cd ~/Felgo)
– Set the QT_LOGGING_RULES environment variable: export QT_LOGGING_RULES="qtc.extensionsystem*=true"
– You can check if the variable is configured with the command echo $QT_LOGGING_RULES
– Then start Qt Creator from this Terminal session: ./Qt\ Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/Qt \Creator
– You can close Qt Creator again after it successfully launched

Please send over the full Qt Creator log output from Terminal to support@felgo.com. The log contains information like:
Reading meta data of "Qt Creator.app/Contents/PlugIns/libFelgoLivePlugin.dylib" and ideally also some error message why it fails.

To use Felgo Live until we figured out the problem, you can also start the Live Server tool for your project with the command line like this:
./Felgo/FelgoLive/FelgoLiveServer.app/Contents/MacOS/FelgoLiveServer path-to-your-qt-quick-project

We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope to resolve the issue soon!

Best,
Günther

Hi Steve,

we identified the issue on our side and are working on a fix. You no longer need to provide the Qt Creator log output.

I will let you know as soon as we have a solution.

Best,
Günther

Whoops!  I just sent the log output before I saw your post.  I’m glad you were able to find the issue and, as always, I appreciate your help, Günther.

Hi Steve,

we have fixed the problem and updated the relevant packages on our download servers. You can use the MaintenanceTool to update your Felgo installation and install the new version of the Qt Creator plugin. You should then have a Live Run button and a Felgo tab in Qt Creator again.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

Best,
Günther
