<p>If you're generating the qmltypes with the ecm command, why are they in the diff?</p></div>

<p>Good point.<br />
We can't generate them at runtime. Here's how they put it in Qt:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);"># plugins.qmltypes is used by Qt Creator for syntax highlighting and the QML code model. It needs
# to be regenerated whenever the QML elements exported by the plugin change. This cannot be done
# automatically at compile time because qmlplugindump does not support some QML features and it may
# not be possible when cross-compiling.</pre></div>
<p>Biggest issue is that you need a set up install prefix to generate the plugins as it expects the prefix structure. Also it needs to load the plugin so it will certainly be a problem on certain setups.</p>
<p>We could find a workaround where it gets to be generated at build-time, but it will feel off. Here at least we're doing the same Qt does with their <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">plugins.qmltypes</tt> files.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R242 Plasma Framework (Library)</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D5088" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D5088</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>apol, Plasma, Frameworks<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>davidedmundson, hein, plasma-devel, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol<br /></div>
