Mac --> QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded

[SGaist]

Well that's a pretty unusual case since you seem to have everything in place correctly.

Can you run your application with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ?

[NicoKino]

I add
@QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS = 1@
in QtProject
and I have the same error.

[SGaist]

It's not supposed to make it work but to give your more information about what happens when plugins are getting loaded.

How did you set that environment variable ?

[NicoKino]

I set your code line like this :
@QT += core
QT += sql

QT -= gui$

QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS = 1

TARGET = sans_titre2
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle

TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp
@
in the Qproject

[SGaist]

Sorry, I mislead you, it must be set as environment variable when you run your application. Go to Projects, select the run panel, Run environment, and add that variable there

[NicoKino]

I place my variable and I have a lot of stuff :

Can you run

?

[SGaist]

Then how did you install MySQL ?

[NicoKino]

I used the installer.
To test my databases I use MAMP

[SGaist]

Ok, so where on your system can you find a library named libmysqlclient.dylib ?

[NicoKino]

I found it here :
@bash-3.2$ sudo find / -name "libmysqlclient.dylib"
find: /dev/fd/3: Not a directory
find: /dev/fd/4: Not a directory
/usr/local/mysql-5.6.19-osx10.6-x86/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib@

[SGaist]

Ok ! Here we have it now. Please use install_name_tool to update the QtSql library in the framework

[NicoKino]

In my folder I have theses files :
@bash-3.2$ cd usr/local/mysql-5.6.19-osx10.6-x86//lib/
bash-3.2$ ls
libmysqlclient.18.dylib libmysqlclient_r.dylib
libmysqlclient.a libmysqld-debug.a
libmysqlclient.dylib libmysqld.a
libmysqlclient_r.18.dylib libmysqlservices.a
libmysqlclient_r.a plugin@

What will I do ?

[SGaist]

using install_name_tool, correct the path /opt/local/lib/mysql55/mysql/libmysqlclient.18.dylib in libqsqlmysql.dylib with /usr/local/mysql-5.6.19-osx10.6-x86//lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

[NicoKino]

When I'm in the correct directory, what lines I must insert in the terminal ?

[SGaist]

install_name_tool -change old_path new_path libqsqlmysql.dylib

[warcomeb]

Hello SGaist,
I have tried your solution, with this instruction:
install_name_tool -change /opt/local/lib/mysql55/mysql/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /Applications/mampstack-5.4.26-0/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib libqsqlmysql.dylib

but during debug I receive this message:
@
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/Users/warcomeb/Projects/build-LabOrToolGui-Desktop_Qt_5_2_1_clang_64bit/Debug/LabOrTool.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldrivers" ...

QSqlError(-1, "", "")
Database non connected!
QSqlError(2005, "QMYSQL: Unable to connect", "Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:3306' (2)") @

I have followed all step that you wrote previously!
Can you help me?

[SGaist]

Is your server running ?

Also, if it was deployed correctly, you should need to correct the path by hand. The client library should be already copied in your bundle

[warcomeb]

Yes, the server is running!
I have added setPort to my database configuration and now it work!

Thanks!
Marco
