Hi all, I have concluded the port from QTScript, which is deprecated, to QJSEngine. I tried to mimic the old script behavior as close as possible, and I think I mostly succeeded.
Few things couldn't be ported yet. Here are the most important ones: - QJSEngine doesn't have a script debugger widget. Such was used by the script console. Probably it can be reimplemented by reusing the QML debugger from KDevelop. - QJSEngine doesn't have an equivalent to QTScript's extensions, which are loaded with Importer.loadQtBinding (qt.core, qt.network, qt.gui, etc). I believe it's possible to simulate those by exporting classes from those packages (If I find a list of which class is at which package, things would be easier). - Amarok.Lyrics had been removed from the scripting API when the new C++ lyrics engine was added. I think it should be restored it and combined it with the current lyrics engine I believe the code is in good shape, and may be incorporated to master. And thus shipped with the next alpha release for testing. Here is the link to merge request: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/amarok/-/merge_requests/9 If you want to try it, I have created packages for Ubuntu 18.04, 19,10 and 20.04: https://launchpad.net/~pgomes/+archive/ubuntu/amarok/+packages I also provided few Dockerfiles for trying in other distros: https://github.com/pcgomes/amarok/tree/master/distribution/docker As usual, all feedback and support is welcome. Cheer, Pedro
