mozregression-gui
=================
This directory contains the code for mozregression-gui. It is a graphical
Qt application with the PySide bindings (http://pyside.github.io/docs/pyside/).
It is intended to be delivered as an executable (or a set of libs/binaries)
with pyinstaller (https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller).
How to develop on mozregression-gui
-----------------------------------
There is an helper script **build.py** that is provided for distribution
tasks (as some replacement for the standard setup.py).
So, first you may want to create a virtual env with everything in there: ::
python build.py venv
This will create a **venv** dir, and install the dependencies inside.
Launching the application
-------------------------
Activate your environment. On linux: ::
. venv/bin/activate
Then you need to compile the **Qt .ui files** (they describe some widgets)
into python files: ::
python build.py uic
Note you will need to do that everytime a .ui file has changed. These .ui
files can be edited with the Qt **designer**. More information here:
http://wiki.qt.io/QtCreator_and_PySide.
Then simply run: ::
python mozregression-gui.py
Freeze the application
----------------------
To generate one big file that contains everything int it: ::
python build.py bundle
The resulting file is in dist/. This file can be distributed to users
that have the same OS and arch as you (python is included in the file).
