Development

Some Python and PyQT libraries may be required depending on the development environment used. On Ubuntu:

sudo apt install python3-pip virtualenv python3-venv qttools5-dev-tools pyqt5-dev-tools

Example of a Linux development environment with Visual Studio Code, poetry and pb_tool:

• Install poetry
• Install Visual Studio Code with the Python, Pylance and reStructuredText (for documentation) extensions.
  • If needed, install the python libraries required for reStructuredText extension (pip install snooty-lextudio rstcheck)
• Clone the repository
• Execute poetry install
• Open the project in vscode
• Set vscode python interpreter (ctrl-shift-P - "Python: Select interpreter"), selecting the "Poetry" virtualenv in the list
• Set PYTHONPATH in .env according to the position of the QGIS python libraries in your system
• Change plugin_path in pb_tool.cfg according to the QGIS plugin path on your system
• Execute poetry shell followed by pb_tool deploy to install the current plugin version in QGIS (pb_tool --help for more commands)
• Install "First Aid" (for debugging) and "Plugin Reloader" (to reload the plugin deployed with pb_tool deploy) plugins in QGIS
• Optionally, check and update the linting and formatting options in .vscode/settings.json.

Utility scripts:

• Use the update_project_template.sh script (execute from the root of the repository), to update data/progetto_MS.zip package with modifications made in the template_code directory.
• Use trans_update.sh to update the translations and then open the .ts file(s) in poedit to translate new strings or update existing translations.
• Use trans_compile.sh to compile the updated translation(s).
