NAME

       plainbox-qml-shell - standalone qml-native shell

SYNOPSIS

          plainbox-qml-shell [-h] [--version] [-v] [-D] [-C] [-T LOGGER] [-P] [-I]
                             QML-FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Runs specified file as it would be a plainbox' qml job.  Returns 0 if job returned 'pass',
       1 if job returned 'fail', or other value in case of an error.

       This command runs qml job provided by specified file.

       General purpose of this command is to make  development  of  qml-native  jobs  faster,  by
       making  it  easier  to  test  qml  file(s)  that  constitute  to  job without resorting to
       installation of provider and running plainbox run.  Typical approach to the development of
       new qml job would be as follows:

       - have an idea for a job

       - create a qml file in Ubuntu-SDK or Your Favourite Editor

       - hack on the file and iterate using qmlscene (or use plainbox-qml-shell
         immediately if you start with next point)

       - make it conformant to plainbox qml-native API described in CEP-5
         (calling test-done at the end)

       - copy qml file over to data dir of a provider and add a job unit to it
