QtCreator plugin suppot

[redtide]

hello,

it seems that starting from QtCreator 4.11 the related EditorConfig plugin doesn't work anymore.

I wonder if it is being maintained; it seems not having any update since end 2018 and if there is some way to get in contact with the author, Herbert Graeber.

I was in the QtCreator IRC support channel and some developer told me:

"submit that via codereview.qt-project.org if it is meant to be part of qt creator proper" and

"lately there was qt.io/blog/building-qt-creator-plugins-with-github-actions so it should also be feasible to take that over and handle outside codereview.qt-project.org".

Any chance to see it in action again?

Yes, with ever new QtCreator version it must be compile again, because the
APIs aren't binary compatible. But it seems they are source compatible.. So
recompiling suffices.

I decided - for now - to restrict the pulgin to the basic editorconfig
properties. So the was no need for extending the plugin, but I will if ther e
is a need for this. But I recompile it for ever new QtCreator version, at
least the 32-bit plugin for the QtCreator delivered with th Qt installer.

Currently I am working on compiling the plugin with github actions. This will
make it easier to provide the plugin for new QtCreator version in time. SO you
can expect this is the last time, that we will have such a long delay.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I usually have to recompile for source any time a new QtCreator was
released but  from that version
there was no success on compiling. I usually use the Archlinux AUR
package at
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/editorconfig-qtcreator/ see the
pinned comment.
My build error: https://pastebin.com/gWW9N3MQ

The current plugin features are good enough for me, all I need from
editorconfig are:

- removing trailing spaces

- add last line eof

- indentation as specified

IDK about 32 bit installers, I use a 64 bit environment.
