Qt Bluetooth - no devices discovered.

[jenya7]

@jsulm
this is h file

class BT_DEVICE : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

    public:
    BT_DEVICE(QObject *parent = nullptr);
    void BLE_Scan();

signals:
    void ScanFinished();
};

and cpp file

BT_DEVICE::BT_DEVICE(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{
    connect(&bt_device, &Device::scanFinished, this, &BT_DEVICE::ScanFinished);
}

void BT_DEVICE::BLE_Scan()
{
   scanning = 1;

   bt_device.startDeviceDiscovery();

   while (scanning) ;

   QVariant devices = bt_device.getDevices();
}

void BT_DEVICE::ScanFinished()
{
    scanning = 0;
}

Not related to your current problem: this is a no go in an event driven application! You are blocking the event loop! This means that no signals will be handled. Redesign this part of your app.

Back to your current problem: I did a mistake above. BT_DEVICE::ScanFinished should be a slot of course.

@jsulm
yes. it was stupid of me to block. for now
h

class BT_DEVICE : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

    public:
    BT_DEVICE(QObject *parent = nullptr);
    void BLE_Scan();

public slots:
    void ScanFinished();
};

cpp

BT_DEVICE::BT_DEVICE(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{
    //for debug
    //connect(&bt_device, &Device::scanFinished, this, &BT_DEVICE::ScanFinished);
}

void BT_DEVICE::BLE_Scan()
{
   scanning = 1;

   bt_device.startDeviceDiscovery();
}

void BT_DEVICE::ScanFinished()
{
    QVariant devices = bt_device.getDevices();
}

Is it OK?

Why did you comment out the connect?

for debug. I still get the error.
On Windows I get a different error - error: multiple definition of `Device::scanFinished()' in moc_device.cpp.
first defined here device.cpp.
I wonder how can it be - moc file is a generated file after build.

It is probably a remnant from previos version when scanFinished was declared as signal.
Do a complete rebuild: delete build folder, run qmake and build.

Deleted all from the build folder. Clean. Rebuild. I see new files created. The same problem.
Renamed scanFinished for scanCompleted. Still the same problem.

Just realised: this is in Device class.
Please show Device code (header and cpp).
You probably defined scanFinished() in cpp file, you should not do that for signals!

@jsulm
I see. Now on Windows it compiles OK. On Linux the same 'vtable' problem.

Exact same code?
Do a full rebuild.

[jenya7]

@jsulm
yes.
I've noticed in device.h at the beginning

class Device: public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(QVariant devicesList READ getDevices NOTIFY devicesUpdated)
    Q_PROPERTY(QVariant servicesList READ getServices NOTIFY servicesUpdated)
    Q_PROPERTY(QVariant characteristicList READ getCharacteristics NOTIFY characteristicsUpdated)
    Q_PROPERTY(QString update READ getUpdate WRITE setUpdate NOTIFY updateChanged)
    Q_PROPERTY(bool useRandomAddress READ isRandomAddress WRITE setRandomAddress NOTIFY randomAddressChanged)
    Q_PROPERTY(bool state READ state NOTIFY stateChanged)
    Q_PROPERTY(bool controllerError READ hasControllerError)

//and so on

those Q_PROPERTY - do I need it? it's a QML related stuff.
I took the class from a QML project.

If you don't use them then you don't need them.

@jsulm
oops. I did "Run qmake" then "Build" - and it's compiles, no errors.

now if I uncomment
connect(&bt_device, &Device::scanFinished, this, &BT_DEVICE::ScanFinished);
I get a run time exception

The inferior stopped because it received a signal from the operating system.

in devise.h

signals:
    void scanFinished();

in my h

public slots:
    void ScanFinished();

seems OK.

So this is wrong

Device::Device()
{
    connect(discoveryAgent, &QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent::finished, this, &Device::scanFinished);
}

I connect a signal to a signal.

Then run through debugger to see where and why exactly it is crashing...
I guess it is crashing inside ScanFinished() slot.

Connecting a signal to another signal is perfectly valid.
