Development Setup

• Linux
• Windows

This project assumes that a virtual environment is used.

Just recipes

$ just --list
Available recipes:
    add-translation locale    # Allows adding additional languages
    build                     # Builds the project into build/release
    build-develop             # Builds the project. This will add all compiled resources into the Python source directory.
    clean                     # Removes ALL generated files
    test                      # Runs all Python and QML tests
    test-python               # Runs all Python tests
    test-qml                  # Runs all QML tests
    update-translations       # Traverses QML and Python files and updates translation files with new strings

Workflow

Run just build-develop after each change in the data, i18n, or qml directories. This will compile everything into a Python file and move it into the myapp directory where it will be picked up on app start.

Tips

• If you're on Linux, and you're using PyCharm or something similar: Create a run configuration that runs the build-develop recipe before the application.
• Adding new languages is described here
