JSON read and write values

[JonB]

@another_one
None of the "file dialog" or "slot" or "signal" stuff you mention should be of any relevance. Your code looks like it should work OK. Why don't you say something descriptive rather than "its not working" if you're a programmer and you want help?

@JonB
Thank you for your replay!

I'm trying to strore the file path in JSON value "FILE_LOAD" in processing of selecting *.bin file in windows folder
To do what I click on "open_folder" button below:

void M_m::on_open_folder_clicked()
{

        QDir dir2;
        dir2.setCurrent(g_FILE_LOAD);
        QString nameFile2 = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("load bin"),"",        tr("*.bin"));
        if (nameFile2.isEmpty())	
        {
            return;
        }
        else
        {
            QFile file;
            file.setFileName(nameFile2);
            ui->lineEdit->setStyleSheet("color: green;  background-color: white");
            ui->lineEdit->setText(nameFile2);
            QFileInfo nameSt(file);
            QString name = nameSt.fileName();
            qDebug()<<"objectNAme="<<file.objectName();//.fileName();
            dir2 = nameSt.dir();//.absoluteDir();
            g_FILE_LOAD = nameFile2;
            qDebug() << QString::number((unsigned int)fls, 16);
            fs2->setValue(3);
        }
}

where fs2->setValue(3); launch Slot function in which I do the following:

  QFile file_json3(QString::fromStdString("monMK.json"));
            if (!file_json3.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
            {
                qDebug() << "json didnt opened";
            }
            else
            {
                qDebug() << "json value3 opened";
                QString strReply3 = (QString)file_json3.readAll();
                qDebug() << strReply3; // read JSON in debug
                QJsonDocument jsonResponse3 = QJsonDocument::fromJson(strReply3.toUtf8());
                QJsonObject jsonObject3 = jsonResponse3.object();
                file_json3.close();
                jsonObject3["FILE_LOAD"] =g_FILE_LOAD;
                jsonResponse3.setObject(jsonObject3);
                file_json3.open(QFile::WriteOnly);
                file_json3.write(jsonResponse3.toJson());
                qDebug() << "g_FILE_LOAD" << "C:/temp"; // g_FILE_LOAD;
                file_json3.close();
                qDebug() << strReply3;
                qDebug() << "store finished";

            }

And only in what case my writing to JSON file is not working
Also I do the almost the same - I store another value from another button clicking in which I use more simplier processing whithout file dialog and it is working
And I compared whese two cases and as result I got the following:
In more simplier case I read JSON in debug and that is correct:
"
json value 1 oponed
QJsonValue(string, "FFFFFFF085000020")
"{\n "BITS": "8",\n "FILE_COMP": "Undefined",\n "FILE_LOAD": "C:/temp",\n "FLOAD": "C:/temp",\n "LD_ADDR": "FFFFFFF085000020",\n "MEM_ADDR": "FFFFFFF085000000",\n "MEM_TYPE": "LWord",\n "PARITY": "PAR_NONE",\n "PORT": "COM3",\n "RATE": "115200",\n "STOPBIT": "STOP_2",\n "ST_ADDR": "FFFFFFF085000000"\n}\n"
"
In case with problem of storing I read JSON in debug and that is not correct:
"
json value3 oponed
"{\n "FILE_LOAD": "C:/tmp",\n "PORT": "PORT20"\n}\n"
g_FILE_LOAD C:/temp
"{\n "FILE_LOAD": "C:/tmp",\n "PORT": "PORT20"\n}\n"
"
And maybe because of what I can not do right writing

So please help to figure out

Thanks!

@another_one
I don't know. suggest you put qDebug() statements after each line as you change the JSON to see what's going on where. The fact that you use a dialog to get a pathname from the user cannot be relevant.

QString strReply3 = (QString)file_json3.readAll(); do not use this. Use a suitable QString method.

@another_one @SGaist wrote that several times already, don't know why you're not lisening...

Sorry I didint undestand, what is why I still do not use what
Could you bring some example?, please

[jsulm]

@another_one You can't use C-style cast to cat a QByteArray to QString.
Use one of the from* methods like https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qstring.html#fromLatin1-2 depending on the used encoding.

@jsulm
Now I undestand, sorry, I need to do readall in QbyteArray as mzimmers already recomended
Thanks to all!

@another_one

I did recomended changes but unfortunally it doesn help!

            QFile file_json3(QString::fromStdString("monMK.json"));
            if (!file_json3.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
            {
                qDebug() << "json didnt opened";
            }
            else
            {
                QByteArray qba3;
                QJsonParseError qjpe3;
                qba3 = file_json3.readAll();
                file_json3.close();
                QJsonDocument jsonResponse3 = QJsonDocument::fromJson(qba3, &qjpe3);
                QJsonObject jsonObject3 = jsonResponse3.object();
                jsonObject3["FILE_LOAD"] =  g_FILE_LOAD;
                jsonResponse3.setObject(jsonObject3);
                file_json3.open(QFile::WriteOnly);
                qba3 = jsonResponse3.toJson();
                file_json3.write(qba3);
                file_json3.close();
                qDebug() << qba3;
                qDebug() << "store finished";

            }

@another_one

            QJsonParseError qjpe3;
            qba3 = file_json3.readAll();
            file_json3.close();
            QJsonDocument jsonResponse3 = QJsonDocument::fromJson(qba3, &qjpe3);

What about checking what qjpe3 contains ?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@SGaist said in JSON read and write values:

Why about checking what qjpe3 contains ?

And on the next line don't ignore qjpe3. Doing basically no error checking and the onwdering why it does not work...

@Christian-Ehrlicher

Thanks to all!, At last I found an error in on_open_folder_clicked()

[JonB]

@another_one And what was that error, given that you showed us the full source code of that function?

[another_one]

@JonB

Hello!

I find what reason by elimination method
And on_open_folder_clicked() become the following:

void M_m::on_open_folder_clicked()
{
           QFileDialog dialog(this);
           dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);
           QString nameFile2 = dialog.getOpenFileName(this, tr("load bin"),"",        tr("*.bin"));
           qDebug() << "file name at first "<< nameFile2;
           if (nameFile2.isEmpty())	
           {
            return;
			}
			else
			{
				qDebug() << "dirdir2";
				ui->lineEdit->setStyleSheet("color: green;  background-color: white");
				ui->lineEdit->setText(nameFile2);
				g_FILE_LOAD = nameFile2;

				qDebug() << QString::number((unsigned int)fls, 16);
	  
				ui->lineEdit->setStyleSheet("color: green;  background-color: white");
				ui->lineEdit->setText(nameFile2);
				qDebug() << "new g_FILE_LOAD" << g_FILE_LOAD;
		  
			 }
			fs2->setValue(3);
}
