Running locally with plasmawindowed

[Philipp A.]

Hi, i’m currently building a plasmoid using CMake:

the directory structure is (simplified):

org.kde.plasma.steam/
→ contents/ui/main.qml
→ metadata.dektop

plugin/
→ qmldir
→ backend.cpp

i build in a way to create the expected layout for QML imports:

# build lib and copy "qmldir" to
"build/org/kde/plasma/private/steam"set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/org/kde/plasma/private/steam)
add_custom_command(TARGET steamplugin PRE_BUILD
                   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/plugin/qmldir $<TARGET_FILE_DIR:steamplugin>)
target_link_libraries(steamplugin [...])

…after which i also have the following tree:

build/org/kde/plasma/private/steam/→ qmldir
→ libsteamplugin.so

now i want to run it from the directory we’re in for testing purposes:

QML2_IMPORT_PATH="$CWD/build" plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.steam

but all i get is:

Trying to open ksycoca from "/home/phil/.cache/ksycoca5"
Unable to load applet "org.kde.plasma.steam" with arguments ()

why? doesn’t plasmawindowed try to load from the current directory?

what directoris *does* plasma try to find its plasmoids in?

/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/
~/.share/plasma/plasmoids/# more?

what environment variable is responsible? do i need to set that for
plasmawindowed to work?

when installing via plasmapkg2, i have a .desktop file: shouldn’t
plasmawindowed make this unnecessary or do i need it? if so, can i create
it via cmake during build, not install?

where are the cmake docs for KDE stuff like plasma_install_package? i want
docs, not commits when i google a command name!

Best regards,
Philipp
