Today I was doing some experiments with qmllint hoping it would help us make QML code more robust.
I created a very simple test which is basically a single QML file that creates an instance of an object I've created from C++.
But when running qmllint via the all_qmllint target it tells me
Warning: Main.qml:14:9: No type found for property "model". This may be due to a missing import statement or incomplete qmltypes files. [missing-type] model: null ^^^^^ Warning: Main.qml:14:16: Cannot assign literal of type null to QAbstractItemModel [incompatible-type] model: null ^^^^
Which is a relatively confusing error, since it first says that it doesn't know what the model property is, but then says "the model property is an QAbstractItemModel and you can't assign null to it"
Here the full code https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/attachment/146411/untitled1.zip in case you want to fully reproduce but first some samples of what i think it's important
QML FILE
import QtQuick import QtQuick.Window import untitled1 // This is the name of my import Window { // things
ObjectWithModel { model: null } }
HEADER FILE (there's nothing interesting in the cpp file)
#pragma once #include <QtQmlIntegration> #include <QAbstractItemModel> #include <QObject> class ObjectWithModel : public QObject { Q_OBJECT QML_ELEMENT Q_PROPERTY(QAbstractItemModel* model READ model WRITE setModel NOTIFY modelChanged) public: explicit ObjectWithModel(QObject* parent = nullptr); AbstractItemModel* model() const; void setModel(QAbstractItemModel* model); signals: void modelChanged(); private: QAbstractItemModel* mModel = nullptr; };
CMAKE FILE
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16) project(untitled1 VERSION 0.1 LANGUAGES CXX) set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON) find_package(Qt6 6.4 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Quick) qt_standard_project_setup() qt_add_executable(appuntitled1 main.cpp) qt_add_qml_module(appuntitled1 URI untitled1 VERSION 1.0 QML_FILES Main.qml SOURCES ObjectWithModel.h ObjectWithModel.cpp ) target_link_libraries(appuntitled1 PRIVATE Qt6::Quick)
As you can see it's quite simple and, as far as I know, using the recommended way of setting up a QML module when using a standalone app.
But maybe I am holding it wrong?
