Live debugging very slow

Applications QML
#1

I am trying the qml live tool. But whenever i start it a ton of log messages scrolls in the application output. I need to wait several minutes until the application starts.

I am debugging the application running on my phone which is connected via usb

The log that scrolls by and isn’t visible when starting the application podqast looks like this.

From the log it looks like some python debug output is clogging this thing up.
Or it is not some trace logging but…?

Ideas why this happens?

I would try to restrict the workspace of QmlLive so that it does not attempt to sync too much. Go to Projects > Run Settings > Sailfish OS Application Settings > Enable receiving updates with Qt QmlLive and restrict Bench workspace to the subdirectory with QML files. Update Target workspace accordingly.

With the default project layout this means to append /qml to the original path in the Bench workspace field and set the Target workspace field to qml (relative path, without leading slash).

I tried it, but it doesnt seem to honor the settings. When it starts QmlLive it just uses the default workspace again.

I also proposed an update to the documentation, which is still a draft, because it doesnt work yet: https://github.com/sailfishos/docs.sailfishos.org/pull/103

I’ve had this happen when I’m debugging apps that ship large binary bits (for instance a 6 mb sqlite database). to get around it, I usually remove the binary in question from the pro and copy it by hand.

Works for me. Maybe you just need to hit [Enter] in the Bench workspace field after editing it, or simply use the Auswählen button to browse for the subdir. The effect can be seen immediately in a running QmlLive Bench without need to restart it.

Just to clarify, since python is involved in the linked example, python updates are not made when using qml live?
