There are plenty of minor challenges getting PyQt5 and Qt Designer to play nice with PyCharm, but after getting all the small steps in place, I cannot help but wonder if I missed the obvious.
What is the most straightforward way to integrate PyCharm and Qt Designer?
What I did so far:
Settings > Tools > External tools
$FilePath$
and the Working directory as $Projectpath$
.ui
files in the project explorer and launch Qt Designer from therepyuic5
with the right arguments to generate the matching .py
for my .ui
Answers I'm looking for:
Step by Step instruction on Integrating QT Designer in Pycharm:
1. Python 3.7 = C:\Users\x\PycharmProjects\Hello\venv\Scripts\python.exe
2. Pip install following:
a. PyQt5
b. PyQt5-tools
3. Location of QT designer.exe, which is located in - C:\Users\x\PycharmProjects\Hello\venv\Scripts\designer.exe
4. For QT Designer : File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools -> create (+)
a. Name : QTdesigner
b. Program : C:\Users\x\PycharmProjects\Hello\venv\Scripts\designer.exe
c. Arguments : NONE
d. Working directory : $ProjectFileDir$
OK
5. For converting UI file to Py file Pyuic : File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools -> create (+)
a. Name : PyUIC
b. Program : C:\Users\x\PycharmProjects\Hello\venv\Scripts\pyuic5.exe
c. Arguments : -x $FileName$ -o $FileNameWithoutExtension$.py
d. Working directory : $ProjectFileDir$
OK
6. Click Tools -> External Tools -> QTdesigner
Design your UI and save it as X.ui
7. You will have X.ui located in the Project file,
a. right click on X.ui
b. External Tools -> PyUIC
c. Success
8. You will be able to see X.py file in the projects folder
9. Run X.py
10. You should be able to see your GUI Application.
If you are just looking to open the.ui files in QT Designer, there is a simpler solution.
Go to Settings|File Types
and click on "Files Opened in Associated Applications", the go to the Registered Patterns field and add *.ui as a pattern. It will complain that *.ui is already registered to QT Designer. Click OK to reassign the wildcard. Now, when you doubleclick on the.ui file in PyCharm it will open with the associated editor in Windows (which should be Designer).
If PyCharm has already associated the.ui extension with some file type, you can easily override that by selecting the file in the Project browser and selecting File|Associate with File Type...
from the menu. Select Open matching files in associated application
to have PyCharm open whatever application has been associated with the file type in Windows.
