AttributeError: 'QAction' object has no attribute 'setShortcutVisibleInContextMenu'

[Javier Navarro]

This is the same error as issue #276. I followed Benjamin’s recommendation to upgrade to QGIS 3.8 but the issue persists. I’m providing here further info on my environment.

You need a QGIS that is compiled against Qt 5.10 or higher.

The following example needs to run in your QGIS python shell:

from qgis.PyQt.QtWidgets import QAction
action = QAction('test action')
# the critical line, not available before Qt 5.10
action.setShortcutVisibleInContextMenu(True)

Thanks Benjamin, that’s a good lead for me to follow. I wonder why the latest QGIS for Ubuntu 18.04 has not been compiled against Qt 5.10 or higher. Do you think it’d have something to do with the Qt version that comes with my distribution? If so (and seeing as I already have the latest QGIS installed) I wonder if the issue is I need a newer distribution?

Thanks

Just a note for others: The version of Qt that QGIS uses (in Linux) will be dependent on your system’s qt5-default library. This default cannot be easily updated as it’s not a regular apt installed package (nor should it be tinkered with according to others). In Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) qt5-default is 5.9.5. This means EnMap-Box will not be able to start the GUI. So the statement that we should install a version of QGIS that uses Qt 5.10 or above can be a bit misleading because Qt version is predetermined by your OS.

If you have the capacity to update Ubuntu to 19.04 then that should sort out the issue. Unfortunately for people working on enterprise systems, there can be a lag between what IT departments adopt and the latest version of operating systems, and updating may not be possible. One option is to install a previous version of EnMap-Box, but I don’t believe that’s an acceptable solution hence I haven’t tested it. Another option is to move to Windows and install through OsGeoW. That’s worked for me.

reopen #286 - path that removes the shortcutVisibleInContextMenu in delivered .ui files and for some .ui during runtine loading

@Javier Navarro I reopened this issue as I think I might have a working solution for.

The make/deploy.py script that builds the EnMAP-Box plugin zip (which is uploaded to the QGIS plugin repository) now removes the critical part from all *.ui files:

‌

Critical action/property part that is not working from Qt < 5.10:

  <action>
  ....
   <property name="shortcutVisibleInContextMenu">
    <bool>true</bool>
   </property>
  </action>

This seems to work well under Qt 5.10+. However, I haven’t tested it so far on Linux and the CI tests need to be adapted to as well.

issue was fixed. However, issue #306 proposed an additional check for *.ui files
