PyQt6 Upgrade #1685

i1sm3ky · 2023-04-08T18:52:36Z

Description

This PR aims to upgrade Vorta from using PyQt5 to PyQt6.

Related Issue

Issue: #765 PyQt6 Upgrade by @m3nu.

Motivation and Context

This change upgrades Vorta's GUI library (PyQt5) to its latest version at the time (PyQt6) which natively supports ARM architecture. Due to an update on PyQt5, it is no longer supported on ARM architecture which makes us unable to install and use Vorta on ARM based operating systems. By upgrading Vorta from PyQt5 to PyQt6, it'll add support for ARM architecture allowing us to use Vorta on ARM based systems too.

How Has This Been Tested?

This has been tested using the pre-written unit tests.

Types of changes

Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Oh, I think you accidentally pushed all your icon work too. The PyQt6 commit should be based on the current master branch, not your other work. Now it's all mixed up. Best to force-push this again.

m3nu · 2023-04-08T19:04:48Z

You can just cherry-pick your one PyQt commit, as tested here: #1686

Commands:

git checkout master (also be sure you pull the latest changes
git cherry-pick c97f3e970e606d379a7828f2bed8e606bb9dac01 (hash of the one commit you want)
(then fix a minor conflict)
done

I initially made the changes on my fork which contained the changes for the icons too and the icons also took some changes to work with PyQt6 so I thought those could also be added here. I'll make those changes on the icons PR and keep this to PyQt6 upgrade only.

m3nu · 2023-04-08T19:13:38Z

Great, thanks! You should also change pyqt5 in setup.cfg. After that it works without issue.

I'm surprised it doesn't need more changes than this. Was expecting to update the .UI files too.

If this is really the case, we should quickly start a new 0.9 branch with this.

i1sm3ky · 2023-04-08T19:29:25Z

Ya, I forgot to change that.

I'm surprised it doesn't need more changes than this. Was expecting to update the .UI files too.

The only major changes it took were the full enums and the imports, for which I wrote a script that took care of those. Other than that it required some minor changes here and there including change in the import of QAction and QShortcut, removal of High DPI scaling, some flag changes, data type changes in SetChecked, change in some deprecated methods and some more.

If this is really the case, we should quickly start a new 0.9 branch with this.

Yes, after fixing those failing tests which I mentioned I think we might be good with the upgrade.

m3nu · 2023-04-08T20:17:08Z

Yeah, I see the changes. It's a bit more than search & replace, but not a crazy change. And no change to the UI XML files.

For your commits, you added one new commit that undoes previous commits. Would be better to just have the actual changes. You see all the commits of this PR here: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/pull/1685/commits

If you like I can also force-push just your one commit to this repo and we take it from there. But I'm sure you can also figure it out.

m3nu · 2023-04-08T20:24:17Z

A system package may need adding in .github/workflows/test.yml

You can force-push my commit to this repo if you want. My bad I've committed my icons work on my master branch so when I do checkout master it still keeps those changes.

m3nu · 2023-04-08T20:37:55Z

Done. As you can see we only have 2 commits now and the history is much clearer than first adding and then removing stuff.

But don't worry, this Git stuff can be confusing in the beginning.

Yeah, Thanks for the help! But it still contains some of my code from the icon issue, is that fine?

m3nu · 2023-04-08T20:43:50Z

With this Ubuntu package added, test properly run on all platforms, but have a few minor errors. Can look into those tomorrow.

Yeah Sure!

Packaging with PyInstaller for macOS also works well. The resulting app is actually 30% or so smaller than Qt5. 🤷‍♂️

Oh great! I think the upgrade will be complete sooner then expected.

Fixed the tests. Nothing major to change. There were some subtle changes to dBus notifications. Would be good if someone can test those on Linux. 🙏

Should I mark this PR as ready for review?

This has to be updated too, I think:

Notifications should work. I fixed and tested them on Ubuntu 22.04.

I've pinned pyobjc, since today's update causes a segfault in our autostart code. This will be a separate PR.

I use it locally. But it isn't used in the repository.

Merged this and will soon do a v0.9.0 beta release so macOS users can easily test the compiled version.

Thanks to @i1sm3ky for getting the ball rolling on this and @real-yfprojects for reviewing and adding valuable fixes and input!

@m3nu @real-yfprojects What else should I get on doing next?

m3nu · 2023-04-17T10:28:03Z

You can look for stale PRs that may only need a small push or change to be useable. E.g. #1639 should be nearly ready, but was abandoned by the person or something.

Careful, since some PRs may also include features that are either too specific or add too much maintenance effort in the long term. So we don't want to merge those.

Ok thanks! I had seen this issue before, I'll work on it and get it fixed.

Ok gotcha.

These docs may need updating too. I'm on an Intel mac and can't test Arm stuff.

https://vorta.borgbase.com/contributing/#local-development-setup

Would be good to build an Arm binary or universal binary somehow. GH Actions is also Intel.

I'll look more into it and get back to you.

pyinstaller --clean --noconfirm --target-arch universal2 package/vorta.spec It should build a universal binary which could run on both -x86_64 as well as arm64 architecture.

real-yfprojects · 2023-04-18T06:49:59Z

I think you need universal2 python binaries for that to work.

m3nu · 2023-04-18T07:07:47Z

Not impossible to build universal2 Python bins:

pyenv/pyenv#2262 (comment)

Maybe an afternoon to get this working on Github Actions with macOS.

The Apple dev docs suggest a similar approach using lipo to merge the individual binaries.

Thanks, I think you're right, I might have to look further into it.
