In VSCode, an error is reported by right-clicking to compile the ui file

[YunchengLiu]

I installed Pyside6 in a new conda environment via conda install pyside6, and i config this plugin as follows.

  "qtForPython.rcc.path": "C:/Miniconda3/envs/qt/Scripts/pyside6-rcc.exe",
  "qtForPython.uic.path": "C:/Miniconda3/envs/qt/Scripts/pyside6-uic.exe",
  "qtForPython.designer.path": "C:/Miniconda3/envs/qt/Library/bin/designer.exe",
  "qtForPython.rcc.liveExecution": false,
  "qtForPython.uic.liveExecution": false,
  "qtForPython.uic.options": [
      "-o \"${workspaceFolder}${pathSeparator}qt_out${pathSeparator}ui_${fileBasenameNoExtension}.py\""
  ]

I created a new ui file, which can be opened through the designer, but when I right-click and select Compile Qt UI File in the VSCode file browser, the output is (Sorry for some garbled characters, I don't know why):

I am in the python environment, manually using python pyside6-uic-script.py file.ui > ui_file.py can compile successfully.

I want to know how to solve this problem, thanks a lot

I was facing the same problem, turns out, it's easy to solve

1. First, go into the extension settings in VS Code.

2. Locate the setting "Qt For Python › Uic: Path", for me it was the last setting.

3. Put the path of the uic.exe executable in it, NOT the pyside6-uic.exe, in the issue I saw you put C:/Miniconda3/envs/qt/Scripts/pyside6-uic.exe, whereas it should have been C:/Miniconda3/envs/qt/Lib/site-packages/PySide6/bin/uic.exe If the folder bin does not exist in that directory, just create the bin folder and move the uic.exe file inside of it. (the uic.exe file should be in C:/Miniconda3/envs/qt/Lib/site-packages/PySide6/uic.exe)

4. Once all of this is done, you can close VS Code and restart it, and you should be able to compile the .ui file.

NOTE If you want to compile it into Python code and not C++, you have to do 1 more step.

1. Go to the extension settings in VS Code and look for the setting Qt For Python › Uic: Options, for me it was right above the previous one.

2. And add the next line -g python .

3. That should be it.
