waitForDone() I am not compatible with gui , gui is frozen

[JonB]

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam
If you call a blocking function like waitForDone() from the GUI thread it will naturally block that thread, and the UI will be unresponsive. Instead just put a slot on the signal for thread A finishing and have that start thread B, that's the Qt way.

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam
Firstly if you want to post blocks of code like this please use the forum's Code tags to surround it, especially for Python where indentation is vital.

Don't call self.__pool.waitForDone(). Instead something like:

self.worker1.signals.finished.connect(self.someMethodWhichStartsTheNextThread)    # or you can use a Python *lambda* here

You will want to look through the documentation of whatever QThreadPool or QRunnable you are using. You need to find a signal for the thread being finished (which is what waitForDone() will do internally, but it blocks).

[khong muon them nhieu sai lam]

@JonB
I have tried the solution you provided but it did not solve my problem. Let me briefly explain how my program works. I have a number of rows and I want to split them into several parts, each with a certain number of rows. For example, if I have 10 rows, I will split them into 5 parts, each with 2 rows. For each part, I will create a corresponding number of threads to process the text of each row. After processing the first 2 rows of part 1, it will then process the next 2 rows and so on. I have tried using QThreadPool, QRunnable, QThread but they all freeze the GUI ,it doesn't freeze the gui if i don't use waitfordone in qthreadpool or wait function in qthread . I cannot use your suggested method because it still freezes the GUI.

[JonB]

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam said in waitForDone() I am not compatible with gui , gui is frozen:

I have tried using QThreadPool, QRunnable, QThread but they all freeze the GUI. I cannot use your suggested method because it still freezes the GUI.

What freezes the GUI? Using some kind of waitFor...() will do that. But assuming you do not what do you think QThreadPool/QRunnable/QThread do to freeze the UI? They don't. So maybe your code is wrong.

Don't forget as a totally separate matter if you call Python code in your threads you have to take account of Python GIL limitations on multithreading.

[khong muon them nhieu sai lam]

@JonB
true when i don't use waitfordone or wait the gui doesn't freeze. i asked chatgpt and it told me that since i use waitfordone thread which coincides with gui's thread it will freeze the gui . but I don't know how to handle these 2 streams separately, I've been tired of this problem for a week and still haven't solved it @@

[JonB]

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam
I explained earlier. Told you not to use waitFor...() and to use signals instead. "I cannot use your suggested method because it still freezes the GUI." but now you admit you have put waitFor...() in. Suggested the code you will need. Up to you.

[khong muon them nhieu sai lam]

@JonB
i used your method but it can't solve my problem
i have listened to you .but still not working. or i wrote the wrong code . I hope there is another workaround to make the gui not freeze. Thank you very much for helping me.

[jsulm]

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam No need for any workaround. Simply use Qt properly: use signals and slots just like @JonB suggested. If your current code does not work then please post it.

Can you please also tell us in what way it "didn't work"? What happens now?

[khong muon them nhieu sai lam]

@jsulm
it doesn't freeze the gui . but it runs continuously and doesn't stop for thread A to finish and then thread B

[khong muon them nhieu sai lam]

@JonB @jsulm
test my code . It still doesn't work even though I tried to follow everyone's advice. I'm still trying to solve it. still don't understand how waitfordone and wait are used in any case ^

[SGaist]

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam hi, you are not chaining anything hence it can't work the way you expect them to.

On a side note, retranslateUI is not the place to the initialisation/connections you have put there.

Another note, your RunnerSignals class has no reason to exist and its usage is wrong. QThread is a QObject and you can define signals directly in it.

[khong muon them nhieu sai lam]

@JonB @jsulm @SGaist @mrjj @wrosecrans
Can you give me an example? because I'm really trying to follow everyone's wishes but it's not working. or give me a reference link but what i am dealing with . pls

[JonB]

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam
Told you to do

self.worker1.signals.finished.connect(self.someMethodWhichStartsTheNextThread)    # or you can use a Python *lambda* here

What have you done about connecting the starting of the second thread when the first thread finishes as above, show us where you have done this? Since you don't seem to have done so the second thread won't start. Don't know what "reference link" you are expecting, just implement it.

[khong muon them nhieu sai lam]

@JonB
The issue here is that I don't just run one specific thread, but I run a group of threads! The way you showed me only performs a certain thread, not a group of threads. I need to run a group of threads altogether and continue to run another group of threads after that.

[JonB]

@khong-muon-them-nhieu-sai-lam
So apply the same principle except that you need to count/mark off as each thread finishes so that you will know when they have all finished, then spawn off the next group of threads when the last one in the first group finishes.
