Hi. The document your link points to says:
So, what version of aqtinstall are you using? |

Hi @bengosu , I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you were having. Yes, case-insensitive module names can be added easily. At this point, all the module names are written completely in lowercase in the Updates.xml files in the Qt repo; you can confirm this by searching for uppercase letters in For that matter, we could add case-insensitivity to the architectures, tool names, and tool variants as well. If we add case-insensitivity to any of these, it would be inconsistent not to add case-insensitivity to all the others. However, I think the real problem here is that @bengosu was not able to access I'm not trying to blame @bengosu for this problem; the easiest documentation to find is for version 2.0, and the easiest version of aqt to install is 1.2. @bengosu is not the first person to have this issue, and I don't see an easy solution to it. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I don't think it makes a lot of sense to add case-insensitivity. If you disagree, I can file a PR to add it, but the changes will most likely go into some version of 2.0, not 1.2. |

Every parameters for architectures, tool names, and module names are defined by Qt team, but not by us. There is no guarantee for its lower case rule. So we observe current repository and provide lists to users through According to a principle of no surprise for users, it is natural that In the case of here, when user put |

Hi @miurahr, thanks for this very helpful tool!
I want to give you some feedback to spare some of your users of the headache I've got for the last couple of days.
I was trying to install Qt with QtWebEngine module and failed with only a generic "Some of specified modules are unknown" error. I tried looking for ways of seeing the available modules for that particular Qt version but couldn't find any. I found some documentation here: https://aqtinstall.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/, describing just that "aqt list-qt windows android --modules 5.15.2 # Print modules available" but it seems this documentation is for an older version as the list-qt is no longer available and using just "list" doesn't list the modules as in this example.
I finally figured out my problem, I was running the command with "QtWebEngine" as module name and apparently the module names are case sensitive and accept only lower case letters.
I figured this out by accident as there is no mention of this anywhere.
So my feedback is this:
Please see this as feedback for your great tool, I don't want to sound like an entitled brat :)
Thank you again for your great work!
