Qml contents doesn't appear under Windows

[KroMignon]

@just_a_developer said in Qml contents doesn't appear under Windows:

to the windeployqt call, so the whole call looks like this :
C:/Qt/5.12.2/msvc2017_64/bin/windeployqt.exe QtCreatorScrollProject.exe --release --qmldir c:\Users\<myUserName>\Documents\QtCreatorScrollProject --qmldir c:\Qt\5.12.2\msvc2017_64\qml

but I still got the same result (empty window - QML contents doesn't appear).

Why do you have 2 time --qmldir in your command line?

Originally I only had one --qmldir . I added the additional one as per @KH-219Design 's suggestion.
windeployqt supports passing multiple --qmldir s : here is the (beggining of the) output of the C:/Qt/5.12.2/msvc2017_64/bin/windeployqt.exe QtCreatorScrollProject.exe --release --qmldir c:\\Users\\<myUserName>\\Documents\\QtCreatorScrollProject --qmldir c:\\Qt\\5.12.2\\msvc2017_64\\qml call :

options before the file!

I tried :

 C:/Qt/5.12.2/msvc2017_64/bin/windeployqt.exe --release --qmldir c:\\Users\\\<myUserName>\\Documents\\QtCreatorScrollProject QtCreatorScrollProject.exe

but I still got the same result (empty window - QML contents doesn't appear).

(Side note : the directory layout for the output is the same for windeployqt [options] [files] and windeployqt [files] [options] )

@just_a_developer Sorry tweaking the arguments didn't help.

What about watching what Qt is printing when you launch the exe?

I would still expect there is a warning or an error printed that would clarify what exactly is going wrong.

A bit more info :
Here is the output of the app when I run it with QML_IMPORT_TRACE=1 :

Also : "Accessibility Insights for Windows" app shows that there is something there, it is just not visible :

@just_a_developer said in Qml contents doesn't appear under Windows:

"Accessibility Insights for Windows"

Wow! Bravo to "Accessibility Insights for Windows" . That's an amazing trick.

I noticed that earlier you mentioned that the machine where the problem occurs is a VM. I wonder if there is just an OpenGL problem/glitch due to the virtualization. Are there VM options/settings you can play with, like assigning your GPU, or toggling through various graphics acceleration options?

"Are there VM options/settings you can play with, like assigning your GPU, or toggling through various graphics acceleration options?"
I am not sure if there is anything that I could do... It is a machine in vSphere and I don't really see any options that I could change which could be relevant...

But : here is a bit more info :

• the app works well under a Windows7 VM (everything appears, including QML contents)
• the app doesn't show the QML contents under Windows8 and Windows10 VMs (empty window - QML contents doesn't appear)

Here is the context of the Windows7 VM (as shown by OpenGL Extension Viewer), where the QML contents does appear :

Here is the context of the Windows10 VM (as shown by OpenGL Extension Viewer), where the QML contents doesn't appear :

OK : I got the fix : it is a rendering issue.

When I force rendering via ANGLE, it works : Options for forcing rendering via ANGLE :
1.: setting the QT_OPENGL environment variable to angle . (I only tested this solution, and it works well.)
2.: compile Qt with configure ... -angle .
3.: call QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_UseOpenGLES); before creating the QApplication object .

There is still an interesting thing : based on Qt's documentation, Qt libraries are compiled with -opengl dynamic which means that Qt should fallback to using the ANGLE renderer by itself (without me having to forcefully ask it to do that).
Ref.: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-requirements.html#graphics-drivers
Ref2.: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/configure-options.html#opengl-options-for-windows

So it seems like that this fallback mechanism is broken.
