We are using ShowTypes around the GUI codebase so it makes sense
to have it in its own class. And the class also contains related
helper functions instead of scattering them around different
classes.
ShowTypes also contains the visibility settings for all the
GUI severities. Implementation in this commit makes ShowTypes
class to load the visibility settings when it is created. And save
the settings when it is destroyed.
"default" as platform name/definition doesn't tell much and would
only confuse users. "Build-in" is not perfect either but it is
best I've can come with before the release.
Ticket: #3156 (GUI: "default" platform needs proper name)
When GUI was started not all the categories visibility statuses
were not preserved. I.e.
Ticket: #3087 (GUI does not show all reported files until a filter button state is changed)
The iterator was not advanced in the loop. So the code worked when
I ran it in Linux as the first item was matching.
Thanks for Robert for spotting and reporting it.
When running in Windows platforms, set the GUI's checked platform
initially to Windows 32-bit ANSI. Other platforms are set
initially to default/unspecified which means the type sizes are
from the platform GUI was compiled on.
This was suggested by Rober in ticket #3119.
We have now one list for checked platforms, menu items are created
dynamically based on that list. This makes it much easier to alter
the platforms list later on.
This is quick and dirty patch to add the platform selection for
the GUI. It is simple menu selection in Check-menu. It always
defaults to "Default" at startup. And it forget the selection
when the application is closed.
Ticket: #3119 (GUI: add ability to specify platform type)
Refactor the code formatting statistics dialog content so that
the strings are easier to translate. Old formatting with embedded
HTML was practically impossible for translators to translate. New
code isn't very beautiful either but at least translating is now
possible.
Ticket: #2726 (GUI: HTML-formatted statistics report text hard to translate)
The CLI/LIB change earlier added own enable-flag for performance-
and portability-checks. This commit updates GUI to also enable
those new enable-flags.
Per project include directories must be added to the list before
the global include directories. Include directories are searched
in listed order. So placing per project include directories first
we ensure per project include file is found instead of the global
include file if same file exist in both.
The extra menu separator was added before the MRU menu items. When
updating the (menu) MRU items existing items were first removed
and new items added back. But the added separator was not removed.
Earlier the GUI (project) went into some weird state after creating
a new project. The project could not be checked in any discoverable
way.
This commit fixes the above bug by automatically checking the new
project after the project dialog is closed. I think this is what
most users expect to happen.
Exclude is the correct term to use when removing paths from the
list of checked items. Ignore as a term was a poor choise to begin
with. XML file reading still recognizes and reads the 'ignore'
element but writes 'exclude' element.
Ticket: #2995 (GUI: Rename ignore-feature to exclude-feature)
Since include dir order is important (Cppcheck uses the first file
it finds) user must be able to edit the order of include paths.
This commit adds "Up" and "Down" buttons to the Project-dialog's
inlude paths-tab. User can use those two buttons to re-order the
include directories.
Ticket: #3037 (GUI: Allow reordering include paths in project dialog)
The 'Project' label in Project-dialog is confusing and users think
it is project's name. When it acutually is the root directory of
the project. So rename the lable and move it below the 'Defines'-
field to make it less important looking.
Ticket: #2997 (GUI: 'Project'-field in project file-dialog is confusing)
The benchmark data file had errors when checking with Cppcheck.
And people reported these errors. So replace the file with one
that has no (currently found) errors.
The script is available in another repository. I don't want to
distribute it with Cppcheck sources for now. Maybe if and when
there is more interest towards GUI tests...
If the "extra version" is defined (not empty) then it is shown
after the actual version number in the About-dialog.
Ticket: #2164 ([GUI] Add revision info to "About" window)
If strings contain only formatting placeholders for the dynamically
formatted text it does not make sense to mark the strings as
translatable. There is nothing translators can translate e.g. in
"%p".
When Filter-toolbar was enabled/disabled from the View-menu its
state was not updated to the context menu. And vice versa.
Ticket: #2923 (GUI: Filter toolbar menu items not synchronized)
There always should be default editor if there is editor
application configured. But it is possible in some cases that
default application is "lost". So check that we have default
application configured before trying to use it. And inform user
to configure default application instead of silently failing to
open the application (and the file) for the user.
Don't use recursion in the script. The Python's os.walk() already
lists all files in subdirectories and using recursion only caused
tests to be found twice. Also handle the case the project file
defines binary path with DESTDIR define.
Improve the runner script to run only tests whose binary file
exists. Tests with inexistant binary file are not counted into
test counts in the summary.
Add the MIT license header. I'm now maintaining this script in
external repository with MIT license. So I can use the script
in other projects too.
Use build-time define to set the path to the source files
directory. Which then can be used to format path to the test
data. This allows running tests from out-of-source-tree -builds
that e.g. QtCreator does.
Test was using and assuming that severity string starts with
capital letter (e.g. "Style"). But the strings are all lowercase
letters.
Ticket #2832 (GUI: XML version 1 test fails)
Start building each test as separate project as QtestLib tests
usually are built. This commit adds the infrastructure and moves
TranslationHandler test as own project.
Fix I did yesterday gave only filename of the project file for
function loading project file. Causing the loading failing if
not in "current" directory.
If we there is project file in the directory to check then ask
user if one wants to use the project file instead. If there are
multiple project files then just tell there are project files
and ask if user wants to continue without using them.
Ticket: #2816 (GUI regression: Interrupted checking because of too many #ifdef configurations.)
If the project file does not define paths to check then check the
project root directory (which likely is the directory where the
project file is located).
Ticket #2816 (GUI regression: Interrupted checking because of too many #ifdef configurations.)
Setting organization and program name in main() allows us to
cleanup Settings class usage. As we don't need to keep using the
one instance of Settings but can create new Settings class
whenever we need to access settings. According to the Qt
documentation creating Settings class is fast.
Use project file's location as base path when adding new paths
(checked, included or ignored) to the project. In most cases user
wants to add paths in the same project so this reduces browsing
paths considerably when adding them.
When project files support was added to the GUI there was no GUI
for them and automatic/silent loading was added. So that if the
directory contained project file with the same name (and .cppcheck
extension) then the project file was automatically loaded and used
for the checking.
This can be very confusing for the user as there is no any
indication that the project file is used. But this solution was
necessary at that time to get project file support added.
Now that we have usable GUI for the project files this automatic/
silent loading can be removed. Nobody really should be using it
anymore. And even if the automatic loading is needed one can give
the project file for the GUI using command line parameter.
The project file to check just GUI code was missing the directory
to check. This is probably due it was used originally as
"automatically" loaded project file which assumed current
directory is checked and only added some additional parameters.
If the project file in MRU list does not exist ask user if one
wants to remove the file from the list. If user agrees then the
file is removed from the list. Otherwise the file is left to the
list but not tried to open. User may have accidentally moved or
renamed the file so we give a possibility to add it back and not
just blindly removing it from the list.
Add MRU items for project files to File-menu. When user creates
a new project file or opens existing project file it is added to
the list of recently used projects. Last 5 projects are remembered
and available for quick acess in the File-menu.
The ErrorLogger::reportStatus() is not lib code interface. The CLI
code does the looping through file list and gives one file at a
time for the core code. Hence lib has no any idea about the
progress and it can't provide such information.
Also the recent commit (6d858b6) caused a GUI build failure by
adding CLI code dependency to GUI. Which is big no-no.
This is admittedly a hack. But it allow us to build all modules
again.
Two Qt modules are not needed any more in the CMake script for the graphical
user interface after the commit "GUI: Open online-help instead of local help".

Unify usage and API of CppCheck class. Allow only one file checked
at a time, instead of list of files. Clients can then handle file
lists more naturally and as they see fit. Also clients have better
knowledge of how checking status should be handled.
The single-threaded CLI checking was only one using the file list.
Other clients were giving files (to list) one file at a time.
Add new "Advanced" page to preferences-dialog and add there a
checkbox for enabling inconclusive checks. Now that checkbox is
the only control in that new page but there will be more controls
later on.
This is the first (and quick) support for the inconclusive errors.
We simply add [Inconclusive] to begin of the summary. This is
temporary solution until better GUI is implemented. XML v1 won't
be supporting inconclusive errors. For XML v2 we need still to
decide what to do.
GUI now recognizes -p <project file> command line parameter. When
given (with path to valid project file) GUI automatically loads
the project file and starts checking paths in it.
Ticket: #2613 (GUI: Should accept project file from command line)
I earlier added a check for missing (editor) application command
line parameters. If parameters are missing at GUI startup an
message is shown to user to check the settings. Unfortunately
my check was incomplete and it also triggered when there was no
applications defined. Which happens when user starts GUI for a
first time.
Fix the check so that user is only informed in case the parameters
are missing and name + path are set.
In GNOME the whole big text area was not shown without making the
dialog bigger. So improve the layout for better scaling and adjust
dialog size when it gets initialized.
Earlier user had to add quotation marks around application executable
path in application dialog. Because we could not determine which part
is path and which part is parameters. As we now have separate
variables we can automatically add the quotation marks when needed
before starting the application. This reduces the confusion users
have had about the correct formatting of paths.
Currently combined editor application path + params is a bit
problematic (at least in Windows). We really don't know where the app
path ends and parameters start. So proper quoting is not always
possible.
And application path and command line parameters are clearly
different settings anyway. So make them separate settings. It has
bunch of other positive sides too. Like one can now browse new path
for the application without loosing the parameters.
When starting Cppcheck version with these new settings user is warned
that loading settings had problems and asked to check and fix the
settings.
The library "htmlhelp" is not needed by the graphical user interface at the moment.

Local help does not currently work (ticket #2316) and building it
is a bit painful in Windows. Hence it was decided on ticket #2677
and at IRC that we open on-line help from GUI until the local
help issue is solved.
Ln pointed out in IRC that 'se' is not ISO-639 name of the Swedish,
but 'sv' is. So rename the translation file to use the correct
ISO-639 name. This wrong name also probably caused the GUI not
recognizing Swedish locale of the OS.
Translation of severity texts was temporarily disabled by earlier
commits. Now adding new method to ResultsTree for getting
translated severity string.
Convert from using string to enum values for severity in ErrorItem.
Storing and handling severity as string was the easy way earlier
but it is not convenient or efficient way to handle severities.
This commit is the first step in converting severity handling to
use the enum values instead of strings.
Show native path separators in project file-dialog. Convert paths
to internal separators when reading from project file and when
reading from the dialog. Convert to native separators when adding
to the dialog (for the user).
Add similar GUI than include paths has. Currently there is only
possibly select directories directly from the GUI. But filename
can be added to the path by editing it.
Add applying of filtering into list of files to check if we have
an active project file. Filtering is quite much similar to the
filtering in CLI.
If we have directory filter ("gui/") then we check all paths if
they contain "gui" part. In practice we search for string "/gui"
from the paths. If we have filename filtering
("gui/projectfile.cpp") then we check if any of the paths end
with that.
This patch adds support for ignored paths in the project file.
There is new <ignore> element which can contain one or more
<path> elements with name attribute containing the path to
ignore.
Handling paths in line edit control is quite hard. List control is
much more pleasant to use for it. Convert Project file path
handling to similar list control usage than include paths earlier.
Editing include directories in edit control is not nice. Instead
add new tab and list control for the include directories. They
are now added, edited and removed like global include directories
in settings dialog.
The default application was not handled correctly when removing
application from the list. If the default application is removed
then we reset the default application to unknown. Otherwise we
make sure the default application is correct after the removal of
other application.
Instead of keeping the default application as a first item in
the application list point the default application by adding a
"[Default]" text after its name.
Make the editor application settings dialog to look similar than
include paths dialog. Move buttons right to the list, not below.
And remove unnecessary "application" word from button texts.
Rename Modify-button to Edit-button since we are not modifying
the application but editing its info. Similarly rename Delete-
button to Remove-button since we are not deleting the application
but removing from the list.
Instead of hard-to-use single line edit control, use list control
for include paths. Have separate buttons for adding, editing and
removing paths. Paths are still stored as one string where paths
are separated with ";". Empty paths are ignored.
If there were unknown language in settings the fallback to English
language didn't work as expected. And there were no proper current
language set after that. Initialize current language to English
so we always have English as proper fallback.
GUI was storing selected language as index to the languages list.
This is fragile since the order and count of items can change.
This commit changes to using ISO language code (e.g. "en" for
"English").
Fixes ticket #2446 (GUI: Don't use index number for language selection)
Instead of separate language name and filename lists use one
list of structs. This makes language name and filename more
connected and makes handling of them easier.
XML report format 1 only had error "lines" that we promoted to "items"
when adding to GUI. XML report format 2 contains error "items" so
change the code to read items and do the promotion directly when
reading and parsing the data.
The current wording was confusing (espcially related to CLI) since
it said the option will make Cppcheck to check all #ifdef configs.
But this really is case only when there is excessive amount of
those configs and without the option some would be ignored. So
format the option text in line of CLI switch and say it is forcing
not enabling checking of all configurations.
When reading XML file there is no summary data stored so we must
dublicate the message data to summary. Since message can be long
try to find full stop from the message and cut summary to it.
Ticket: #2402 ([GUI] Summary is not shown for loaded .xml file)
Ticket #2513 (GUI: Garbage printed to log after missing include warning)
The linenumber was not properly converted to the QString so there
were garbage printed to the log.
Settings-dialog is more natural place for language selection than
the main menu. We also have more space and freedom there to have
longer text etc to make the selection easier (menus are quite limited
controls).
Ticket #2424 (Windows GUI: "Copy full path" doesn't copy the visible full path if it has been changed in preferences)
We keep paths internally with / separator and only convert to native
separators (for Windows) when showing them. Conversion was missing
from path copying function.
Dan added new enable-flag for information messages in commit 033e759.
Enable that flag for GUI so that the information messages are visible
in the GUI.
I accidentally added the 'placeholderText' attribute to settings.ui
when editing it with Qt Creator. That attribute was added in Qt
4.7.0 and we are not using it for anything. So removing it to fix
building with older Qt versions.
Add 'backend' support for the new 'portability' severity. The new
severity is handled, converted to new SHOW_PORTABILITY and added
with correct type to the result view.
There is no menuitem/toolbar button to show/hide portability
items. Likewise there is no line for portability issues in stats-
dialog.
