    Description

      The basics have already been studied on QTBUG-80378 and QTBUG-80620. It should be further investigated if existing installer operations would be sufficient for this use case.

      Notes:

      • What if the conan command names/arguments change over time? This would break all marketplace extension install scripts that use exact conan commands via component.addOperation("Execute", ...).

      Alternatives for using the current installer execute operation as-is:

      (WIP) Was thinking about an operation-pair that could be something like this, the register part would be run when installing the conan component and run part when installing a marketplace extension. This could also help with env variable correctness in QTIFW-1561:

      RegisterCommandTemplateOp

      • Arguments:
        • name - "conan-export"
        • path_to_executable - "home/user/installdir/conan"
        • version - "version of the executable"
        • do_step_commands - "export, " ."
        • undo_step_commands - "remove", -f"
        • env_variables (optional) - "name:value, ..."
      • DO-step: save/map operation values to installer
      • UNDO-step: remove values from installer

      RunCommandTemplateOp

      • Arguments:
        • name - "conan_export" <- check if exists
        • version (maybe optional) <- also check if specific version exists
        • working_dir - "/home/user/installdir/componentX"
        • args_for_do_step (optional) - "qtcharts/5.12.3@qt/final"
        • args_for_undo_step (optional) - "qtcharts/5.12.3@qt/final"
      • DO-step: set env variables & execute do step command with extra args
      • UNDO-step (if defined): set env variables & execute undo step command with extra args
