Issue with built-in QScintilla editor on Ubuntu 24.04 (PyQt6 related)
On Ubuntu 24.04.1, the m[c/x]gui built-in editor fails due to missing scintilla dependencies and missing Qt6-transition code.
At e.g. File->New
one yields
mcgui
loading system configuration
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/mcstas/tools/Python/mcgui/mcgui.py", line 896, in handleNewInstrument
self.view.showCodeEditorWindow(new_instr)
File "/usr/share/mcstas/tools/Python/mcgui/viewclasses.py", line 63, in showCodeEditorWindow
self.ew.initCodeEditor(instr)
File "/usr/share/mcstas/tools/Python/mcgui/viewclasses.py", line 427, in initCodeEditor
self.__scintilla.setText(open(instr, encoding='utf-8', errors='ignore').read())
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'McCodeEditorWindow' object has no attribute '_McCodeEditorWindow__scintilla'. Did you mean: '_McCodeEditorWindow__initScintilla'?
Best workaround for now:
-
sudo apt install gedit
- Let the editor crash as above, after which "Edit" means gedit
- Use the html form in the component mcdoc pages "Generate" to define component instances (You may have to replace \n manually by a line-break after pasting to gedit...)
If you prefer to use another editor than gedit, then please:
- install said editor
-
mcrun --write-user-config
to generate a local user config - edit that
mccode_config.json
and replacegedit
by wanted editor
