GitAuto: Replace PyQt5 with PyQt6 #8

Closed gitauto-for-dev[bot] closed 1 month ago

Resolves #1

What is the feature

Replace PyQt5 with PyQt6 throughout the application.

Why we need the feature

Upgrading to PyQt6 ensures that the application remains up-to-date with the latest features, improvements, and security fixes. PyQt6 provides better support for newer Python versions and leverages the advancements in Qt6. This upgrade can lead to improved performance, enhanced stability, and access to new functionalities that are not available in PyQt5. Keeping the dependencies current also makes future maintenance easier and prepares the codebase for further updates.

How to implement and why

  1. Update Dependencies:

    • Modify requirements.txt and requirements.pytorch.txt to replace PyQt5 with PyQt6.
    • This ensures that the correct version of PyQt is installed during setup.
  2. Update Import Statements:

    • Search the codebase for all instances where PyQt5 modules are imported.
      • For example, in the game_manager directory.
    • Replace import statements:
      • From from PyQt5 import ... to from PyQt6 import ....
    • This step is necessary because the module namespace has changed in PyQt6.
  3. Refactor Code for API Changes:

    • PyQt6 has introduced several breaking changes compared to PyQt5.
      • Enums and flags are no longer in the global namespace; they are nested within their respective classes.
      • For example, Qt.AlignCenter becomes Qt.AlignmentFlag.AlignCenter.
      • Some methods and properties have been renamed or moved.
    • Go through the code and adjust for these changes:
      • Update enum and flag references accordingly.
      • Modify any deprecated methods to their new counterparts.
    • This refactoring is essential to ensure the application remains functional with the new API.
  4. Test the Application:

    • Run all existing unit tests to identify any issues arising from the changes.
    • Perform manual testing of the GUI and user interactions.
    • Fix any bugs or unexpected behavior discovered during testing.
    • Testing validates that the application works as intended after the upgrade.
  5. Update Documentation:

    • Review the documentation in the doc directory for any references to PyQt5.
    • Update instructions, examples, or screenshots to reflect the changes.
    • Proper documentation helps users and contributors understand the new requirements.
  6. Update Docker Configuration:

    • If the application uses Docker (docker-compose.yaml, docker directory), update the Docker images to include PyQt6.
    • Rebuild Docker images to ensure they contain the correct dependencies.
    • This ensures that deployment environments are consistent with development.
  7. Communicate Changes to the Team:

    • Inform all team members about the upgrade.
    • Highlight any significant changes that may affect ongoing work.
    • Open communication facilitates a smoother transition and helps prevent integration issues.

By following these steps methodically, we can successfully upgrade to PyQt6, taking full advantage of its benefits while minimizing disruptions.

About backward compatibility

Switching from PyQt5 to PyQt6 introduces backward compatibility concerns due to several breaking changes in the API:

Maintaining backward compatibility is important for user trust and adoption. By carefully planning the upgrade and supporting users through the transition, we can mitigate potential issues and make the most of the new features offered by PyQt6.
