@hskoglund I think this may be the only way to go, especially if the result of the thread interaction requires any sort of GUI (posting error messages, etc.). It does seem that aboutToQuit() is too late in the sequence. Evidence, after some exploration: My problem was caused by a change in Qt 6.5.0 (link) that moved the signaling point from QCoreApplication::execCleanup() (which explicitly turns off the quitNow flag) to exit() (which doesn't). That flag is what prevents a local QEventLoop in my slot handler from spinning up. It's not clear if they meant to do that, but... That change refers to a bug report (link). A comment by the maintainer says, "The docs for aboutToQuit specify 'Note that no user interaction is possible in this state.'" And indeed they do (link).

@DeSGuN Did you read the whole of the thread there? FWIW per the final response, if I understand right did you try moving the powers = QPushButton("Exit", video_widget) to after the player.play(), or even perhaps adding it on a one shot timer after the player.play() has been allowed to start? Otherwise the rest of that thread explains.

I see this is an old thread and I see several unresolved threads on this topic. I'm leaving this incase it helps someone else who ends up here. The solution was twofold for me. Go to File > Export Project and select Enable Python Generator. This will create a main.py. Make sure you pip install PySide6-DS Hope this helps someone.

Hello i am using WinCC OA to develop a qt application. WinCC OA has some custom elements which cannot be detected by squish for example a polygon. Squish is now not able to detect this element with the picker. I know the name of the element but as it is of WinCC OA internal i do not know the type: waitForObject( {"container": "container", "name": "POLYGON1","type": "???","visible": 1} ); How do i get this information? And what to use if unknown? Is there any other way? I mainly just need to click this element. Thanks a lot

@JonB correct

@Christian-Ehrlicher moved !

@RokeJulianLockhart to the best of my knowledge, no. The first release of Discourse was in 2014 and the forum is several years older than that.
