[Bug 1215913] Re: QML Extension Library + Tabbed Touch UI needs manual configuration

[Jamie Strandboge]

** Description changed:

  If I start a new project and choose QML Extension Library + Tabbed Touch
  UI, it needs manual configuration to build and run the app. Steps to
  reproduce:
  
  1. Create a new project in qtcreator, select Ubuntu/QML Extension Library + Tabbed Touch UI
  2. name it testcompiled1
  3. 'Configure Project' dialog pops up. Click 'Configure Project' in lower right
  
  At this point, I should be able to click the Green triangle in the lower
  left of qtcreator and run the test application. However, I cannot
  because more configuration is needed. Specifically, a shadow directory
  is used for the build but the 'app' directory is not copied over into
  it, and the 'qmldir' is not either. Also, because we are importing a
  module, we must pass -I to qmlscene in the run step. Specific steps:
  
  4. click Projects in the left hand column. This brings up the Build Settings dialog. If not, click 'Build' under 'Desktop' at the top.
  5. In the Build Settings dialog, add a Build Step:
   a) click Add Build Step and choose 'Custom Process Step
   b) set this build step up with the following:
     Command: cp
     Arguments: -a %{sourceDir}/app %{buildDir}
     Working directory: %{buildDir}
  6. In the Build Settings dialog, add another Build Step:
   a) click Add Build Step and choose 'Custom Process Step
   b) set this build step up with the following:
     Command: cp
     Arguments: -f %{sourceDir}/backend/modules/testcompiled1/qmldir %{buildDir}/backend/modules/testcompiled1
     Working directory: %{buildDir}
  7. At the top of the qtcreator window, click 'Run' under 'Desktop'. This shows the 'Run Settings'
  8. Under 'Run', use the following:
     Command: qmlscene
-    Arguments: -I %{buildDir}/backend/modules %{buildDir}/app/testcompiled1.qml
+    Arguments: -I backend/modules app/testcompiled1.qml
     Working directory: %{buildDir}
  
  At this point, you should be able to build and run the program with the
  three big buttons at the lower left (Run, Debug run, Build) (though
  debug run doesn't actually work-- filing another bug)
