[Qt-creator] How can I make a global cpp code style config

[Kobus Jaroslaw]

Hi,

Unfortunately, currently templates for code styles are read only from local resource path, i.e. from ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/codestyles/Cpp/mycodingstyle.xml (the cpp code style settings like in Eike's example). If you copy your style there and set value for [CppCodeStyleSettings] | CurrentPreferences to: "@ByteArray(mycodingstyle)" inside your local settings (~/.config/QtProject/QtCreator.ini) then it should work. Alternatively, you may clear your local setting  for CurrentPreferences (~/.config/QtProject/QtCreator.ini) and set it globally like Eike suggested, this should also work, but please remember that mycodingstyle.xml can be placed only locally (not in /opt/...).

Hope this helps

Regards

Jarek

That is what I expected, my style isn't picked up even though from what I can tell my QtCreator.ini is correct

[CppCodeStyleSettings]
LegacyTransformed=true
CurrentPreferences=JohnDeereStyle

I even deleted everything in ~/.config/QtProject, my global style still isn't used.

I expect that I just need to install QtCreator.ini into /opt/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/QtProject/ and our code style .xml into /opt/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/QtProject/codestyles/Cpp/. This doesn’t seem to work though – qt creator doesn’t seem to pick up the style.  Is there something more that I’m missing?

Hi,

as far as I can see, there is setting for “default” coding style. That means, that if you add something like

[CppCodeStyleSettings]
CurrentPreferences=@ByteArray(mycodingstyle)

to the “install settings” (/opt/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/QtProject/QtCreator.ini looks correct to me), then this will set the coding style only if there are no user settings at all.
I.e. when running Qt Creator with a clean settingspath (e.g. with -settingspath /tmp/foosettings).
