No matching signals for all controls
-
@mrjj Yes but they are created after every build. Shouldn't they?
@J-Hilk I really appreciate the solution but i have to avoid it because with shadow build i had other problems (probably they were my fault but i don't have time to solve them to nor i am allowed to)
@Deathcomes
in that case, make a 2nd folder and clone your clean repo into that, and use that only for release builds.out of curiosity, what problems were those?

Yes but i just tested with shadow build off and those files go INTO the build
folder. They should not be in project folder and if they are stale they might give all sort of odd errors if compilers sees them.@mrjj said in No matching signals for all controls:

!!!!!! REALLY???
@J-Hilk I would have to go back 5 years in my memories to tell you and i don't think i'm capable of (I can't remember what i ate yesterday!! :) )!
-
@mrjj Also i just tried it with another project (build/run in debug mode without debugger) and the signal slots connected properly AND the "Makefile" files have been created inside the root folder of the project.
Could it be something wrong with my configuration? -

@Deathcomes
no. you are right.
Tested with a new project and disabled shadow
then they come in the folder
I just been using shadows build since day one so never noticed.

Hi
- Could it be something wrong with my configuration?
well, other projects works so thats no so likely.
but i wonder if something up with that .pro file.You could try recreate the project in a new folder.
copy all .h and .cpp and then add to Project file using "Add existing " when right clicking on the project top name. -

@mrjj Unfortunately! Same problem.
@Deathcomes
and that was without re-using the .pro file ?
That is very, very odd. -

That is very, very odd.@mrjj Yes the only thing i "used" from the old pro was this
from this (default when creating a project)
QT += core guito this
QT += core gui winextras sql network concurrentand also i added this because i was missing some libraries
LIBS += -LC:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/mingw48_32/lib -lQt5Ftp -lKernel32 -

Ok that seems fine.does the connect work if you use
the connect statement ? -
@mrjj Yes because i have other connect with custom slots
@Deathcomes
so its only the auto matching that complains ? -

@mrjj Correct
@Deathcomes
I have no idea why then it must not seem then when running
QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName(Widget); -
New info on the problem!
The failing auto connection of the signals happen when i add the -lQt5Ftp library on
LIBS += -LC:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/mingw48_32/lib -lQt5Ftp -lKernel32which i built from this https://github.com/qt/qtftp
I tested it with creating a new empty qt project (window application) and adding only one button and slot (with right click -> goto slot "clicked"). Inside the slot i added a
qDebug() << "Click";Built/run on debug mode and everything runs smoothly (the slot is connected and fired properly)
Then i add the above line inside the .pro file and Rebuilt the project from scratch. When i run the application i got the usual warning
QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_pushButton_clicked()and the slot is not fired.
I also tested if the library -lKernel32 was the problem but everything executed fine when i left only this library. -

That is really odd as that's a lib and should not really
interfere with moc and signal findings.
Maybe it screws up the meta data somehow. -

I dont know if we can see that.
we can check what connectSlotsByName
does here
https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/corelib/kernel/qobject.cpp.html#3539maybe we could dump the names it sees with and without ftp lib.

One question: why is something as old as Qt 5.2 involved in your build? -

One question: why is something as old as Qt 5.2 involved in your build?@JonB We started development on that version and there was never a necessity to upgrade to a newer version.
