QProcess unexpectedly finished

QProcess can only run a binary file. You need to compile AnalogClock first, then change your path to point exactly to the resulting binary file.

krist

I have run the analogClock, but i don't know where the binary file go

can you please guide me?
or maybe do you have a refrence video to do it?
I am very appreciated it

after i run, there is appear build-analogclock ... debug
is it the binary file go?
and inside it, there are 7 file in it

thank you

sierdzio

Go into that build directory, there will be analogclock file in there (it will have executable permissions, easy to spot if you run ls -aGl in the directory, or by looking at icon in some file manager) - that's your binary.

What does "run" mean? You have to build --- compile & link --- the analogclock project, either for debug or for release. That puts the executable in a directory as specified in the .pro file/look at your Qt Creator settings for building. That is what you need to execute. No, there is no "reference video" for this. It's what building from source code is all about.

Did you try looking in that directory, for an executable named analogclock?

From the output you showed earlier:
Starting /home/krist/qt_proj/build-try_QProcess-Desktop-Debug/try_QProcess ...
While for your QProcess command you show
./krist/QT5.13.2/examples/QT-5.13.2/gui/analogclock
How are these two paths related? Why have you placed a ./ at the start of that? What is your current directory? I would recommend only using absolute paths, not relative, so you know what is going on.

krist

thank you for the answers

Starting /home/krist/qt_proj/build-try_QProcess-Desktop-Debug/try_QProcess ...

is mine project where i make.

and the QT5.13.2 is where the analogclock file is

what i mean run is build and run (click on the little hammer in the left below qt and the play icon).

    QProcess *myProcess = new QProcess(this);
     QString program = "/home/krist/Qt5.13.2/examples/Qt-5.13.2/gui/build-analogclock-Desktop_Qt_5_13_2_GCC_64bit-Debug/analogclock";
     QStringList arguments;
     arguments << "-style" << "motif";
     myProcess->start(program, arguments);

I have found the analogclock at file build-analogclock-Desktop ...
but when i source it like below, nothing happened
Is there anything wrong?

sierdzio

Probably the example fails to run because Qt libraries are not found by ldd. You need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for it to work.

To get the actual error messages or warnings coming from QProcess, make sure you connect to errorOccured signal and get all output from stderr.

krist

I just realied that every time I build and run there is always a notification like this :

15:25:54: Starting /home/krist/qt_proj/build-try_qprocess1-Desktop-Debug/try_qprocess1 ...
15:25:58: The program has unexpectedly finished.
15:25:58: The process was ended forcefully.
15:25:58: /home/krist/qt_proj/build-try_qprocess1-Desktop-Debug/try_qprocess1 crashed.

Is it the error that you looking for?

It's not me looking for errors here, it's you :-)

15:25:58: The program has unexpectedly finished.

No, this tells us nothing. We need more information. Run your app with a debugger (F5), it will show you where the crash occurs.

krist

yeah i know that the big error lies on me
:(

here is the picture of debugging
I have several times click the button but still nothing happens and there is no notification?
image url)

FYI I'm using linux with QT 5.13.2

sierdzio

You've commented out the on_pushButton_clicked() slot, so it's not crashing.

krist

oh sory
I just try some others code earlier

here is the right screenshoot

sierdzio

Does it crash when you click the button? The screenshot does not show any crash.

JonB

@krist
I can see by enlarging your image that you are still not supplying the correct path for the subprocess. Nor does it even have the executable you wish to run. There is no point telling us here your code contains a certain string if it does not actually use that string. You need to understand the absolute basics about paths if you expect to develop code....

Further, you should read the QProcess documentation and e.g. both check return results and errorOccurred slot if you are having trouble running a process and expect to get error status back.

krist

Thank you both for your patience on me
:(

@JonB
I use the path based on projects analogClock
here is the screenshot
based on what sierdiio said , i need to source my path to the binary file

@sierdzio
Nothing crash just nothing happens

No, you don't. The screenshot (of your code running the QProcess) shows a path which is simply incorrect. Whether you've changed that since screenshot I cannot say.

J.Hilk

@krist ok, as a step 1, why don't you open a console/terminal outside of QtCreator and try to launch the analogClock manually.

Make sure that works, before you try it from inside your own program!

krist

@J-Hilk
hello

yapps it's runnable
the step i use is

$cd Qt5.13.2/Examples/Qt-5.13.2/gui/build-analogclock-Desktop_Qt_5_13_2_GCC_64bit-Debug/
enter
$./analogclock

JonB

@krist
Then you need to use something in your code which is actually the same as that, not what your screen shot has which is simply not the same!
Hint: /home/krist/Qt5.13.2/Examples/Qt-5.13.2/gui/build-analogclock-Desktop_Qt_5_13_2_GCC_64bit-Debug/analogclock.
Which you seem to have had at one point, and then changed to something wrong.

krist

yeah i have tried that and error is come up
here is the error

/home/krist/Qt5.13.2/Examples/Qt-5.13.2/gui/build-analogclock-Desktop_Qt_5_13_2_GCC_64bit-Debug/analogclock: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.13' not found (required by /home/krist/Qt5.13.2/Examples/Qt-5.13.2/gui/build-analogclock-Desktop_Qt_5_13_2_GCC_64bit-Debug/analogclock)

That's where LD_LIBRARY_PATH comes in ;-) You can set it with https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qprocess.html#setProcessEnvironment
