Live Reload not working in version 2.18

[Light-Wizzard]

To reproduce:

Following this article: https://v-play.net/updates/release-2-16-1-live-code-reloading-with-custom-c-and-native-code-for-qt

I am using 2.18 on Arch Linux Manjaro so it should apply to this release.

Using this Project: https://github.com/V-Play/VPlayCppQML-Example

Making the changes that are commented out:

In Main:

#include <VPLiveClient>
//  vplay.setMainQmlFileName(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml/Main.qml"));
// engine.load(QUrl(vplay.mainQmlFileName()));
VPlayLiveClient client (&engine);

in pro file:

CONFIG += v-play-live

Not sure what they mean by disabling auto start; does that mean you do not use this Live Popup; and instead just hit run debug?

If I hit run->Debug; it comes up with a Connecting box that does not connect, not even to a remote device.

I get the error that com.yourcompany.xyz is not defined; but it complies fine. If I remove the code by toggling the comments and hit run debug; it works fine; so its not the app; but the Live emulator.

I searched for this issue; only found pre 2.16 issues.

This is a very important feature; please help me to resolve this issue.

Hi,

after you build and run the project with the Live Client Module, your application starts with Live Client features. You can press "Connect" to connect it to the Live Server, and use it just like the default Live Client. It sounds as if you have mistaken your application as the new server instead of the new client after building.

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks I update the Forum page: Update: After getting this email from V-Play: after you build and run the project with the Live Client Module, your application stars with Live Client features. You can press "Connect" to connect it to the Live Server, and use it just like the default Live Client. It sounds as if you have mistaken your application as the new server instead of the new client after building. Cheers, AlexI was able to figure out that Live must first be present but not started, then you hit run->debug; the first time this will ask you to accept or deny the request to Live Client; after that it will connect; but you must click on Connect the first time; that was what tripped me up.Thanks works great. Also: to make life easier for Programmers To make it easier for the Programmer; it would be nice to setup all your .pro files like this: # uncomment this line for Publishing#DEFINES += VPlayPUBLISHING# Comment below DEFINES and CONFIG to turn off V-Play Live# uncomment these two lines for Live Client Module and use live reloading with custom C++ codeDEFINES += VPlayLiveCONFIG += v-play-live Then in the main.cpp At the top: #ifdef VPlayLive // This line adds the Live Client Module and use live reloading with your custom C++ code #include <VPLiveClient>#endif Replace the existing code with this: #ifndef VPlayLive // use this during development #ifndef VPlayPUBLISHING vplay.setMainQmlFileName(QStringLiteral("qml/Mai n.qml")); // for PUBLISHING, use the entry point below #else // use this instead of the above call to avoid deployment of the qml files, // and compile them into the binary with qt's resource system qrc // this is the preferred deployment option for publishing games to the app stores, // because then your qml files and js files are protected to avoid deployment of your qml files and images, // also comment the DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS command in the .pro file // also see the .pro file for more details vplay.setMainQmlFileName(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml/Main.q ml")); #endif engine.load(QUrl(vplay.mainQmlFileName()));#else // to start your project as Live Client, comment (remove) the lines "vplay.setMainQmlFileName ..." & "engine.load ...", // and uncomment the line below VPlayLiveClient liveClient(&engine);#endif Now you have defines for Publishing, and V-Play-Live, and only need to edit your .pro file, and do not have to figure out what to comment and un-comment, making for less mistakes. I have made these changes to my projects and it works great; just have to rebuild after making the changes in the .pro file. Thanks
