Crash when using a ValueAxis in a ChartView. Why?

[6thC]

@igor_stravinsky said in Crash when using a ValueAxis in a ChartView. Why?:

com.apple.main-thread

Perhaps the environment / charts too?

Is this iOS? I'm using charts under MinGW || GCC
Qt 5.10 and 5.10.1
under linux, linux VM, win10
Perhaps this is something for the mailing list or yes, a corrupt library?

Did that basic example / exact qml code I sent you work?
Cause that had button, a popup containing the chartview w/x&y axis + attached lineseries ready to go.

@ambershark Mixed versions is a thought I had as well. I just did an update to 5.11, and am testing that out. I'll try to get a simple example that crashes for me posted shortly.

@6thC I just installed 5.11, and updated headers, so hopefully the project is now current. I'm compiling on MacOS, and the example you posted worked without a problem for me.

The first crash comes when a ChartView is in a Popup, and the second happens when a ChartView is in a ToolTip, and the crash only happens when the app is quitting, so I'm wondering if the fact that the chart isn't part of a standard qml page (i.e. it's only shown sometimes) has to do with the crash on in the destructor. When I show a chart on a page not on a Popup or ToolTip, it works without a problem.

Are you on a commercial license. That sounds the sort of thing I'd touch base for confirming / getting a bug raised. I think you can directly, I just have a commercial so use the support first, they confirm or deny and even raise bugs for me. It's very much appreciated for a small project (sole developer) as myself.

I'm sorry I have no mac / ios equipment / dev env here to reproduce for you. I think this has narrowed the situation down (potentially) to limited to this system or your specific environment. Hopefully another qt dev using IOS can help? If you have a standalone project with working and broken examples I'd suggest that always helps.

We're lazy (try to be efficient) and time limited so if you already have something others can just hit F5 and confirm or deny expectations and behavior - it'd only be appreciated.

@6thC Sadly, I'm working under a free, not commercial license. No support for me...

I have replicated one of my bugs. I'll post that code.

[igor_stravinsky]

Here's a simple example of a chart causing a crash on quit. In this case the chart is inside of a ToolTip

main.qml:

import QtQuick 2.11
import QtQuick.Window 2.11
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 1200
    height: 800
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    Button{
        id:testButton
        text:"test"
        anchors.centerIn:parent
        height:parent.height/8
        width:parent.width/8

        CustomToolTip{
            visible: testButton.hovered
        }
    }
}

CustomToolTip:

import QtQuick 2.11
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls 2.4
import QtCharts 2.2

ToolTip{
    delay: 0

    Rectangle{
        id:tooltipBackgound
        width:400
        height:300
        radius:10
        border.color:"black"

        ChartView {
            title: "Memory"
            antialiasing: true

            PieSeries {
                    id: pieSeries
                    PieSlice { label: "eaten"; value: 94.9 }
                    PieSlice { label: "not yet eaten"; value: 5.1 }
                }
        }
    }   //background rectangle
}

I don't think the crash actually requires a series of any sort. Simply having a chart view in the tool tip seem to be sufficient.

Here's a simple example of a chart in a popup which causes a crash on quit on my system (MacOS, running Qt 5.11)

main.qml

import QtQuick 2.11
import QtQuick.Window 2.11
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

Window {
    id:mainWindow
    visible: true
    width: 1200
    height: 800
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    Button{
        id:testButton
        text:"test"
        anchors.centerIn:parent
        height:parent.height/8
        width:parent.width/8

        onClicked: { customGraph.open() }
    }

    CustomPopup{
        id:customGraph
        width: mainWindow.width/2
        height: mainWindow.height/2
        leftMargin: mainWindow.width/4
        topMargin: mainWindow.height/4
    }
}

CustomPopup.qml:

import QtQuick 2.11
import QtQuick.Controls 2.4
import QtCharts 2.2

Popup {
    id: customPopup

    modal: true
    focus: false
    dim: true

    ChartView {
        id: chartView
        title: "Custom Chart"
        height: parent.height
        antialiasing: true
        theme: ChartView.ChartThemeDark

        ValueAxis {
            id: valueAxisX
        }

        ValueAxis{
            id: valueAxisY
        }

        LineSeries {
            id: powerSeries
            axisX: valueAxisX
            axisY: valueAxisY
            name: "Series"
        }

    }   //chartView

}

And the stack trace from the crash:

Any idea why this is happening?

[ambershark]

@igor_stravinsky I will try to get some time to update to 5.11 on my mac and test for you to see if it happens on my system too.

In this case though it really is looking more and more like a bug in Qt. I would try reporting it with that code that makes it reproducible.

If you link the bug report here I will try to upvote it if I can reproduce it when I get time/updates to my mac.

Sadly, I'm working under a free, not commercial license.

Since you are using Qt Charts, just be careful with licensing. Qt Charts is only available under commerical and GPL licenses. You can't make a closed source (LGPL) product with Qt Charts unless you have a commercial license. Just wanted to warn you in case you weren't aware so you didn't end up in trouble later. :)

[igor_stravinsky]

@ambershark Thanks for the reminder about QtCharts being under GPL. I've noted that, and alerted the powers that be above me. I'm not sure if they realize the ramifications right now, but they will...

And I don't think this issue requires an update to 5.11. I was having the problem under 5.10, but upgraded to test if this was still an issue under the new version.

[6thC]

I'd encourage your "higher ups" that commercial is affordable and very worth it.

My mac is on like 5.2 though, so I'd definitely update it before messing around. I haven't written any commercial software for the mac in a while so I haven't updated it recently. I've been busy the last week and haven't had time to even answer questions on the forums much less delve into problems like this. So I never got around to testing it.

Did you ever file a bug?

[igor_stravinsky]

@ambershark QTBUG-68483 has been filed.

[terma.aba]

I get the same thing: Qt 5.12.0, my ChartView with ValueAxis is in a Page in a StackView, crashes on exit.
Noticeable is that if I unwind the StackView before exiting, the application doesn't crash.
