\title Debugging a Qt Quick Example Application
This section uses the
\l{http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/demos-declarative-samegame.html}{Same Game}
demo application to illustrate how to debug Qt Quick applications in the
\gui Debug mode.
For more information about all the options you have, see
\l{Debugging Qt Quick Projects}.
The Same Game demo shows how to write a game in QML, using JavaScript for
all the game logic. Open the demo project in \QC to debug it:
\list 1
\o To look at the code that starts a new game, place a breakpoint in
samegame.qml by clicking between the line number and the window
border on the line where where the \c startNewGame() function is
called (1).
\image qtquick-example-setting-breakpoint1.png
The red circle indicates that a breakpoint is now set on that line
number.
\o Select \gui {Debug > Start Debugging > Start Debugging} or press
\key{F5}.
\o Once the Same Game application starts, click the \gui {New Game}
button to start a new game.
\o When the debugger hits the breakpoint, it interrupts the
application. \QC displays the nested function calls leading to the
current position as a call stack trace (1).

\o Click the
\inlineimage qtcreator-debug-button-step-into.png
(\gui {Step Into}) button on the toolbar or press \key F11 to step
into the code in the stack. The samegame.js file opens in the code
editor at the function that starts a new game.
\image qtquick-example-stack.png
\o Examine the local variables in the \gui {Locals and Expressions}
view. Step through the code to see how the information changes in
the view.
\o Add a breakpoint at the end of the \c {startNewGame()} function, and
click \inlineimage qtcreator-debugging-continue.png
(\gui Continue) to hit the breakpoint.
\image qtquick-example-setting-breakpoint3.png
\o To execute JavaScript commands in the current context, select the
\gui {Console} tab.
\o To change the score to 1000, enter \c{gameCanvas.score = 1000}
in the console.
\image qtquick-example-script-console.png
\o To remove a breakpoint, right-click it and select
\gui {Delete Breakpoint}.
\o Select the \gui {Locals and Expressions} tab to explore the object
structure at runtime:
\image qtquick-example-qml-inspector.png
\o Click
\inlineimage qml-inspector-app-on-top.png
(\gui {Show Application on Top}) to keep the application visible
while you interact with the debugger.
\o Click
\inlineimage qml-inspector-select-button.png
(\gui Select) to activate selection mode and then click the
\gui {Quit} button to move into the \gui ButtonLabel component
in the \gui {Console} and the code editor.
\image qtquick-example-property-values.png
\o In the \gui {Locals and Expressions} view, double-click the value of
the \c text property to change it temporarily from \gui {Quit} to
\gui {End Game}.
When you select an element, the cursor moves to it in the code
editor, where you can change the value permanently.
