Venus Gui QML - How to quickly view updates to QML

I have a web developer background and am digging into the QML files some. After I make changes I tried the

svc -d /service/gui

and

svc -u /service/gui

Commands to refresh the interface. So far a reboot has been the only way to see my changes. Any ideas?

I use killall gui to restart the GUI.

What you are doing should work and did in my test. Not sure why it's not working.

for what it is worth svc -t /service/gui should also work.

@Kevin Windrem thanks for the reply. I’m actually doing some work on guimods. You’ve done amazing work. I just want to try some refinement.

I'll push changes back .. I'm still a bit green on git, but I'll see what I can do.

I'm a web dev too and just about to start digging into this stuff. It would be cool to add other pages to Venus to control some of the other stuff in my van on the LAN.

Are you editing the QML files by hand or are you using a GUI editor for the layouts?

I'm editing by hand. Debug is limited since there is no way to output messages from QML, at least that I've found.

console.log() will do that. E.g.

Component.onCompleted: console.log("Completed Running!")

or you can add onSomethingChanged: console.log() for any property you want.

Yeah, I'm doing it by hand, QML / QT kind of has it's own CSS type settings for border radius, colors, etc.
