Description Julius Künzel 2021-12-13 21:04:10 UTC

SUMMARY
Executing a dialog created using KNS3::QtQuickDialogWrapper does nothing. Looking at applications output you find "QQmlComponent: Component is not ready"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a crafted version of KWordQuiz on windows
2. Go to the "File" menu and choose "Download New Vocabularies..."

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
The Get New Stuff dialog shows up

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

First of all let me say that I am not finally sure if this is a KNS issue or maybe a Craft issue, but I looked at the Craft blueprints and it looks okay as far as I can see.

This issue came to my attention when we switched Kdenlive from the widget dialog to QML dialog due to the deprecation warning (we switched windows back to use the widget dialog as a temporary fix), but you can expierience this with other applications like KWordQuiz too. See also https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/1192

I tried several things to debug/fix this, but unfortunately I am not experienced enought with windows as well as debuging QML

This works fine for me with Frameworks master, but I'm not sure whether that could be because of a missing dependency that I have accidentally installed

This is for example used in the dialogs.

Drop lib prefix when building for Windows

QQmlImportDatabase::resolvePlugin doesn't accept lib prefixes under
Windows, causing to fail to import when using as a dynamic plugin.
