Import QtQml.Models 2.1 issue

[Balzarus]

I recently installed QtCreator 3.1.0 (based on Qt 5.2.1) on Windows 7 and am having issues with the following code snippet which is extracted from a Qt example:
@import QtQuick 2.0 import QtQml.Models 2.1
Rectangle {
ObjectModel {
id: itemModel
Rectangle { height: 30; width: 80; color: "red" }
Rectangle { height: 30; width: 80; color: "green" }
Rectangle { height: 30; width: 80; color: "blue" }
}

ListView {
    anchors.fill: parent
    model: itemModel
}

}@

Before I even try to build, I get the following error:

QML module does not contain information about components contained in plugins.

Module path: C:/Qt/5.2.1/msvc2010/qml/QtQml/Models.2
See "Using QML Modules with Plugins" in the documentation.

Automatic type dump of QML module failed.

Errors:
"C:\Qt\5.2.1\msvc2010\bin\qmlplugindump.exe" returned exit code 3.
Arguments: -relocatable QtQml.Models 2.0 C:/Qt/5.2.1/msvc2010/qml
QQmlComponent: Component is not ready
"file:///C:/Qt/5.2.1/msvc2010/qml/typelist.qml:2:1: module "QtQml.Models" version 2.0 is not installed"

I verified QtCreator installation, its environment and even reinstalled it without success. Note that I managed to run the same code snippet under Ubuntu without any issues so it seems Windows-related. Also note that I created multiple projects with various compilers (e.g. MinGW 4.8 and MSVC10) to check this out without success.

Any idea what could be causing this issue? I found some posts discussing about installing missing plugins under Ubuntu, which is the resolution for the same problem under Ubuntu, but this resolution does not seem to be applicable to a Windows environment.

Thanks in advance for any kind of information that could help me out!

I notice the import statement has optional items that may follow the name of the module. It's a wild guess but it may be confused by your syntax.
You might try putting your import statements on separate lines.

I am experiencing the same thing...

import QtQml.Models 2.0

module "QtQml.Models" version 2.0 is not installed

Do we need to add something in the .pro file?

jsprenkle: Thanks for the note. It is a copy-paste mistake here that the import statements are on the same line. In the original code, there are not. Thanks anyway! :)

Jawad: I tried to look for some info wrt .pro file but without success. Let me know if you find something on your side.

try looking where you installed your Qt to see if the structure Qt uses to find plugins is present. Here's the directory structure on my box:

Directory:
YOURQTINSTALLPATH\qml\QtQml\Models.2

There should be a file named "qmldir" there and some dll files.

My qmldir file contains the text:

module QtQml.Models
plugin modelsplugin

[Balzarus]

jsprenkle: I looked into my Qt install path, i.e. "C:\Qt\5.2.1", and each project type folder, e.g. "mingw48_32" and "msvc2010" (I tried multiple project type thinking it might be the cause of the issue), and I do find the structure "qml\QtQml\Models.2" containing the file "qmldir". Each instance of this file contains the lines:
"
module QtQml.Models
plugin modelsplugin
classname QtQmlModelsPlugin
"

Did you try setting the version number down? Perhaps you don't have version 2.1 but do have version 2.0?

@import QtQml.Models 2.0@

[Balzarus]

I initially tried that and failed. Based on the information I found, QtQml.Models started at version 2.1 anyway...

I am using Linux but I have the same issue. I found a hint that I shall install
@qtdeclarative5-models-plugin@

but it wasn't found when I tried.

I am looking at StocQt example on Sailfish SDK. The example imports 2.1

[jalomann]

I got it working in Linux. If I deploy it as RPM package, it resolves the package dependencies itself.

And after reading readme, I found out that installing qt5-qtdeclarative-import-models2 is the missing package.

@pkcon install qt5-qtdeclarative-import-models2@

[Balzarus]

Thanks everyone for the replies. Turns out it's something wrong with Qt Creator and/or its environment. I've switched everything to Visual Studio 2010 and now everything works perfectly.

Try to launch as rpm-package, not as binary.

I'm using QtCreator 3.4.1 and still have this issue.

@jalomann how do I get and install this "qt5-qtdeclarative-import-models2"? I'm using Windows btw. Can you give me the link to the readme file?
