Qt5.11.2, QSqlDatabase, QMYSQL, Driver not loaded

SGaist

Since you are using Qt Creator, look at the output panel.

SPlatten

Specifically which panel are you referring to?

I don't see anything in the "Debugger Console", if I enable the "Debugger Log" I see:

SPlatten

@SGaist , is this the output you were referring to?

SGaist

No, I never mentioned the debugger output. It's the application output panel that you must take a look at.

SPlatten

@SGaist, the contents of the application output panel was posted with my first post:

SGaist

Where did you define QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS ?

SPlatten

@SGaist, I did the following in a terminal window:

    open ~/.bash_profile

In the editor, the bash_profile file was empty I added:

    export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

Saved the file and closed the editor. I then ran:

    source ~/.bash_profile

I closed the terminal, then re-opened to check that the variable was present by typing:

    export

This is what was displayed:

    declare -x Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render="/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.hLeo6KAahB/Render"
    declare -x DISPLAY="/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.FHCnpoFY18/org.macosforge.xquartz:0"

SGaist

You should rather do that in the Run part of the Project panel.

Because unless you either logged out or restart Qt Creator from the same terminal you ran your export from, it won't see the new variable.

SPlatten

@SGaist , can you guide me please I'm not sure how to do that.

SGaist

It's shown the Qt Creator documentation.

SPlatten

@SGaist , I'm struggling with the documentation, the version of Qt Creator I'm using is:

Qt Creator 4.7.0-rc1 (4.6.84)

From the link posted I don't see, Projects > Build & Run > Run

How do I get to this section?

[Edit], found it, I'm so blind, I was looking for a menu option, it was right in front of me on the left vertical tool bar.

SPlatten

@SPlatten said in Qt5.11.2, QSqlDatabase, QMYSQL, Driver not loaded:

QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS

@SGaist , this is the output when the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS is correctly added, I think I've isolated the problem, but not sure why its looking for this file and it doesn't exist::

The file it appears to be looking for which doesn't exist:

    /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib

There is no mysql folder in /usr/local/

I just ran:

    find / -name mysql

It returned:

    /usr/local/bin/mysql

There are also:

/usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.1.17/bin/mysql
/usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.1.17/include/mysql
/usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.1.17/share/mysql

I also found this in share:

Sunfluxgames

Please make sure you complie the Qmysql plugin in qtbase folder

Link x86 libs or x64 libs with whatever mysql you have installed on your system.

Copy sqldriver folder to complier folder

Should fix all sql drivers not finding the correct path locations.

Also make sure you override the static qmysql plugins as there are static ones that come shipping with it.

SPlatten

@Sunfluxgames , I copied:

libqsqlmysql.dylib

to:

~/build-SimonQtWidgets-Desktop_Qt_5_11_2_clang_64bit-Debug

The problem and reported errors haven't changed, still the same.

JonB

@SPlatten
I do not use Mac or compile Qt.

But it seems to me that the error message:

Cannot load library /Users/simonplatten/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.dylib: (dlopen(/Users/simonplatten/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.dylib, 133): Library not loaded: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib

is unequivocal. You need a libmysqlclient.20.dylib. (Moving just libqsqlmysql.dylib to somewhere is not going to address this.)

Try Googling for libqsqlmysql. There are others asking about this being missing under Linux/MacOS. You may need to download it (apt-get under MacOS? I have no idea) given what you show from your find and/or see e.g. https://afshinm.name/2016/02/05/how-to-fix-library-not-loaded-libmysqlclient-18-dylib-in-mac-os-x/

Sunfluxgames

~/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/bin/qmake "INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/mysql/include/" "LIBS += -L/usr/local/mysql/" mysql.pro

Complie mysql.pro in qtbase/sqldrivers

And then:

cp ~/Qt/5.11.2/Src/qtbase/plugins/sqldrivers/ ~/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/

Also might need to copy them to the creator folder as well to debug inside creator.

SPlatten

@Sunfluxgames , there i no /usr/local/mysql folder on my system, its MariaDB, when I ran:

    ~./Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/bin/qmake "INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/mysql/include/" "LIBS += -L/usr/local/mysql/" mysql.pro

I got:

    Cannot find file: mysql.pro.

SGaist

Before trying to build anything (you need to first download the sources for that). Please run your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1.

Click on the Project button on the vertical toolbar on the left of Qt Creator, and there you'll find the Build and Run settings. Modify the Environment in the Run settings.

SPlatten

@SGaist , I did that, hasn't helped.

SGaist

It's not supposed to change anything in the application execution. The goal is to provide you with additional information about what is happening when plugins are getting or not loaded and from there help find what might be going wrong.
