    @jenya7 said in Qt Bluetooth - no devices discovered.:

    while (scanning) ;

    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.

    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!

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

                    Exact same code?
                    Do a full rebuild.

                      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.

                          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.

                                  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.

                              I get a run time exception

                              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.
