Issue setting QLibrary path
-
Do you get a canonical path ?
-
@SGaist What do you mean by "canonical"? I get absolute paths.
-
It's an absolute path with all the .. and . resolved cleanly.
-
@SGaist yes, I get full absolute paths.
-
Just to be sure, you have that behaviour when calling your application form the command line ?

@SGaist this behaviour happens with applicationFilePath() in QtCreator and also when running from the command line outside the executable's directory. If I call it in the executable's directory, all works fine.
-
Can you provide a minimal compilable example that shows this behaviour ?
-
@SGaist I was setting up an example for you and I found out that it works as I intended. In the example I can now run the app from the command line with the executable and its library in another folder.
I have to investigate better what could be the issue in my application... I will be back here if I get new questions.
Thank you! -
If you have several places like that, you might want to use a common base class to avoid that kind of situation.
Anyway, glad you found out and thanks for sharing !
Since you have it working now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tools" button or the three dotted menu beside the answer you deem correct so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :-)

@SGaist Just solved the problem. I forgot that I had another class loading the library where I didn't change the constructor in order to use applicationFilePath() with replace and split... my bad.
Thank you again!@Tiago-M-Pinto said in Issue setting QLibrary path:
