Description Kristen McWilliam 2021-10-17 19:20:41 UTC 
IDE is apparently unable to import plasmoid:

`import org.kde.plasma.plasmoid 2.0`

> QML module not found (org.kde.plasma.plasmoid).

Same experience in QtCreator & KDevelop. This doesn't affect the build, only working on the source code.


This makes development more difficult, and in particular poses a barrier to potential new contributors since things like IntelliSense, Go To Definition, quick docs, etc will not work.

So far the only insight to the issue has been:

> "That module is only present if you're running in a Plasmashell context"

Is there any way to resolve this?

Where do you see this error exactly?
Comment 2 Kristen McWilliam 2021-10-18 00:28:30 UTC 
A few examples:


plasma-desktop:
containments/desktop/package/contents/ui/main.qml
applets/keyboardlayout/contents/ui/main.qml


plasma-workspace:
components/containmentlayoutmanager/qml/BasicAppletContainer.qml


kweather:
plasmoid/package/contents/ui/main.qml


So far every instance I have checked has the same issue.

That's funny, I don't see those messages in Kate.
Comment 6 Kristen McWilliam 2021-10-18 16:09:26 UTC 
Same, and I don't see them in VSCode either.

Despite the missing error, do you get any sort of intelligent parsing of doc comments, autocomplete suggestions, go to definition for the things plasmoid imports?

I do not
