We're happy to announce the release of version 1.10.0 of the Qt Extension for Visual Studio Code! This release introduces plenty of quality-of-life improvements to developing Qt solutions on Visual Studio Code.
QRC Editor
Managing Qt Resource Collection files has never been easier. The new QRC editor provides a visual interface for modifying your .qrc files without manual XML editing.
Enhanced C++ Debugging Experience
For C++ developers, we've added the ability to debug your application into Qt framework source code:
-
Source File Mapping: Launch configurations now include automatic
sourceFileMapentries, allowing you to step into the Qt framework code during debugging sessions -
Qt Source Directory Command: New
qt-cpp.sourceDirectorycommand helps you locate and configure Qt source paths -
Configurable Warnings: Use the
qt-cpp.doNotWarnMissingSourceDirsetting to suppress warnings if you prefer not to use this feature
Variable Substitution in Configuration Paths
All extensions now support variable substitution in configuration paths, making your workspace configurations more portable and shareable across teams:
-
${workspaceFolder}: resolves to your workspace root directory.
-
${userHome}: resolves to your home directory
This feature works across all path-based settings in the Qt extensions, whether you're configuring Qt installation paths, custom tool locations, or build directories
QML Debugging Improvements
We've enhanced the QML debugger to improve reliability:
-
Fixed broken watch expressions when invalid expressions are provided
-
Improved error handling and user feedback
Looking Ahead
We continue to work on bringing more Qt development features to VS Code. Stay tuned for upcoming releases featuring enhanced workflow improvements.
If you encounter any bugs or have feedback on usability, please report them via our bug tracker. If there's a feature you'd like to see, feel free to submit a suggestion there as well.
