Dock Area resource file needs to be fixed for Qt6 #487

Closed bburan closed 2 years ago

bburan commented 2 years ago

It looks like enaml/qt/docking/dock_resources.py is pretty important for getting the nice, clean hints that pop-up when attempting to dock windows (i.e., the compass rose). However, qRegisterResourceData appears to be missing from PyQt6.QtCore and I can't find any guidance on the appropriate replacement. For example, it looks like we are still supposed to use rcc to convert to a Python module (e.g., https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/resources.html). Yet, the file that's created imports QtCore from PySide6 instead of PyQt6.

It seems that we still have PySide6.QtCore.qRegisterResourceData but not PyQt6.QtCore.qRegisterResourceData. If I install PySide6, then the compass rose image appears nicely.

I'm a bit unsure about the best path forward here to ensure compatibility with PyQt6 as well. Thoughts?

This was apparently discussed on the mailing list of pyqt, as mentioned here. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66099225/how-can-resources-be-provided-in-pyqt6-which-has-no-pyrcc

We need to see what appears the best solution for us.

Thanks for tracking down that discussion. That helped orient me in the right direction. Luckily the answer seems to be straightforward.
