QNetworkRequest / QNetworkReply issue with 5.13.1?
-
Why do you spin an eventloop instead properly relying on signals/slots?
When I first started programming with Qt I relied heavily on examples that I found over the internet. I could not find any good examples of retrieving API JSON data on the Qt website and had to rely on other sources. The code you see is a combination of examples I found that I got to work for the past 2 years. Now, with the advent of 5.13.1, the code does not work and will probably need to be updated to the proper signal / slot procedure which may fix the crash issue.
Where does it crash?
The function crashes the SECOND time it runs the function right at:
reply->deleteLater();I added a qDebug() right before it and after it. The first time through both qDebug()s echo'd out the info. The second time through only the first qDebug() echo'd out info and then crashed on the reply->deleteLater() line.
I would like to Add
One thing I would like to add, not sure if this would play a part. All these calls are being made from child windows (classes). I create a pointer object in a child window (class) in the construct function that points to the MainWindow class, then I call the api GET function that resides within the MainWindow class like:
//mw is a pointer to the MainWindow class QJsonObject api_info = mw->getRequest("some/api/link").object(); -
@AwesomeBoxhead said in QNetworkRequest / QNetworkReply issue with 5.13.1?:
reply->readAll()
So readAll() works but deleteLater() crashes? Please show us the backtrace.
-
That is correct.
The first time the function "MainWindow::getRequest" is ran:
- qDebug() before deleteLater() echo'd the JSON object returned from json = QJsonDocument::fromJson(reply->readAll());
- deleteLater() runs
- qDebug() runs after deleteLater()
The second time the function runs:
- qDebug() before deleteLater() echo'd the JSON object returned from json = QJsonDocument::fromJson(reply->readAll());
- deleteLater() runs and CRASH
In regards to the backtrace, I am having one heck of a time trying to find documentation on how to do this. I do not want to deviate this topic with how to generate a backtrace, so I will open a new topic and will get back with you once I become more educated, lol
Thanks for your time looking at this!

Can you please add the qDebug() statements in your code?
And for getting the backtrace see here: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debug-mode.html -
I edited the original post and added the qDebug() before AND after the reply->deleteLater() like I have in my code.
I activated debug mode which is really cool.
These are the steps I followed within debug mode:
<app launched>
Clicked the menu
Clicked Login link
<the login window opens>
Clicked Login button
<error window opens, failed logging in>
Clicked Login button again
<crash>Within debug mode, I received the following error message upon clicking the button for a second time.
Here is the full stacktrace. Gonna be honest, I have no idea what I am looking at with this stacktrace thing, lol. I'm gonna be looking into how to work with this. This debug mode is very neat. Wish I knew about this feature awhile ago, lol.

Since I don't see any call of MainWindow::getRequest() I doubt it happens in this function at all. I would take a look at loginWindow::on_btn_login_clicked() function.

Hi, if you don't try to login a 2nd time from inside the same dialog box, but instead after the 1st failed login close/cancel the dialog box.
Then select the login link from the menu again, and try login.
Does it still crash at deleteLater()?Thanks for taking the time to read!
Yes, unfortunately it does still crash even if I try closing the login window after the first failed attempt.
My app uses many windows that calls the api. Even upon a successful login, the next window that calls "MainWindow::getRequest()" will crash in version 5.13.1.
-
So there must be some common problem not related to QNetworkRequest (as we can see in the backtrace). I would strip down the program until it no longer crashes.

That is exactly what I am doing :)
Hopefully I will have a very stripped down version of the program I can test soon.
Thanks for all your help!
