File is not defined.

J.Hilk

@JennyAug13 and main.cpp and info.h and info.cpp are all in the same folder, on your drive?

JennyAug13

Yes, all are in same folder

@JennyAug13
I think then that you need to show the actual content of your Info.h. According to what you have said the compiler is actually finding the file --- else you would have had a "no such include file" error --- so a message of ReferenceError: Info is not defined would imply that at whatever line that occurs (assuming that source file has already met the necessary included Info.h by that point) the .h has not actually defined the Info class correctly.... You might also like to show us the actual source line which generated that error, together with "proof" that Info.h has been included prior to the line....

P.S.
Do ensure you have done a "clean" rebuild. This kind of error does crop up when, say, you have added an include file to a source file but not properly rebuilt, and the compiler uses cached files for the previous state where the header had not been included....

dheerendra

Looks like somewhere you are doing the cycle.

Info.h is included in one.h.
one.h is included in two.h and
two.h includes info.h again.

JonB

@dheerendra
Would your situation actually result in ReferenceError: Info is not defined? I would have thought it would be more like "duplicate definition found"?

If this does turn out to be the case, the OP needs to put in #ifndef guards to prevent re-inclusion.

JennyAug13

@dheerendra Nope, it is included only once... inside my info.cpp file and i have only one header file and one source file as of now (Info.cpp and Info.h)

GrecKo

That's a JS/QML error, where does it occur and can you share some code ?

JennyAug13

This is the actual error:

qrc:/Theme/Icons.qml:33: ReferenceError: Info is not defined
qrc:/Theme/Font.qml:53: ReferenceError: Info is not defined

and in the lines of these files, following lines of code is there

@qrc:/Theme/Icons.qml:33:   

readonly property string imagePath: Info.getQMLResourcePath() + "Theme/Images/"

@qrc:/Theme/Font.qml:53:

source: Info.getQMLResourcePath() + "Theme/Fonts/ProLight.otf";

GrecKo

Did you use qmlRegisterSingletonType on your Info type ?
And then added an import line for the module in your qml file ?

ODБOï

@GrecKo said in File is not defined.:

That's a JS/QML error

good catch

This class looks great. This is the c++ claas. If u want to see this class at qml side, it needs to be registered to qml using qmlregistertype etc methods. Looks like your class is not exposed to qml. Please check and if not please do so. Search in Google or qt assistant for how to expose c++ class to qml.

JennyAug13

I have registered to qml using qmlregistertype method and included it inside my qml file as follows. But it gives following errors when i build.

inside my main.cpp file

qmlRegisterType <Info>("NT.Cpp",1,0, "Info");

inside my Icons.qml file it is included as

import NT.Cpp 1.0

But many errors appear as follows:

/opt/Qt/5.6.3/gcc_64/include/QtQml/qqmlprivate.h:93: error: within this context
     class QQmlElement : public T
           ^

/Info.h:98: error: ‘Info::Info()’ is private
     Info();
     ^
/opt/Qt/5.6.3/gcc_64/include/QtQml/qqmlprivate.h:93: ‘QQmlPrivate::QQmlElement<Info>::QQmlElement()’ is implicitly deleted because the default definition would be ill-formed:
     class QQmlElement : public T
           ^

dheerendra

Looks like you have private constructor in Info class. Can you show the info.h file ? Above post only has implementation file.

GrecKo

Yes it looks like a private constructor, and with a getInstance method to get the singleton instance.

Use qmlRegisterSingletonType and not qmlRegisterType. If you use this instance in c++ too, don't forget to set the object ownership (with setObjectOwnership) to QQmlEngine::CppOwnership.
