same problem but QPSQL DRIVER NOT LOADED

12bibi12

@JonB yes, in run I scrolled down to Environment, then build environment. then I choose add. in Variable I wrote QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS and in value I wrote 1

JonB

@12bibi12 said in same problem but QPSQL DRIVER NOT LOADED:

then build environment

We explained it is not a build time variable, it's a run-time variable. That's why it needs to go into the Run environment settings from Creator, not the Build ones.

12bibi12

@JonB I click the project category. in build&run I choose the one for Mac. then I choose Run. in Run settings I can see 8 different subcategories. Deployment, run, environment,custom output parses, debugger settings, performance analyzer settings, valgrind settings, qml profiler settings.

I chosed the Environment subcategory, in it I can choose different environment: clean-, system - and build environment. which one should I choose of these?

SGaist

@12bibi12 as we already wrote several times: Run

12bibi12

@SGaist okay in run there is command line arguments and other different options like working directory. do I put In QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS =1 in command line argument ? sorry but i am a beginner who is trying to work on a school project

SGaist

Do you have PostgreSQL installed in some fashion ?
If so, how and where did you install it ?

12bibi12

@SGaist i have something named postgre https://postgresapp.com. its installed in my applications. /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents

SGaist

From the debug log, I would guess that you installed the 15 version of the application.

You have two options here:

Install version 14
Use install_name_tool to update the /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/14/lib/libpq.5.dylib path to use the library from your installed Postgres.app

12bibi12

@SGaist i dont know exactly how to use install_name_tool.

do I write in my command install_name_tool with the path? I have never used it

12bibi12

@SGaist I tried instead installing version 14 but I got same error

SGaist

Did you check that ˋ/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/14/lib/libpq.5.dylibˋ exists ?

As for ˋinstall_name_tool`, please read its help. It's really not complicated to replace a path with another one.

12bibi12

@SGaist I wrote this install_name_tool -change /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/15/lib/libpq.5.dylib /Users/hayssamalsaffar/Qt/6.4.3/macos/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlpsql.dylib
and got this:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool [-change old new] ... [-rpath old new] ... [-add_rpath new] ... [-delete_rpath old] ... [-id name] input

SGaist

-change takes three arguments: old path, new path, file you want to change.

12bibi12

@SGaist I get this: error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool: can't open file: libpq.5.dylib (No such file or directory)

i have checked in /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/15/ and I have libpq5.dylib

12bibi12

Looks like the plugin is loaded so you are good to go.
