Short answer... you can't get the full file path of a file. Your question is more related to safety/security standards regarding major browsers and the decisions related to them made by owner companies/foundations. That is, javascript is not allowed to know the full path of a file shared by the user. So, fileContentReady or in general any webassembly function will end up being a javascript function, limited to the security standards imposed on js implementation by the browser. (You can always ask the user to install a java applet :P )

@lorn-potter you mean if I update part of my application I should download all application in my browser?

@lorn-potter I have checked it in qt 5.15 with em 1.39.16. but still I have same problem.

@Falko said in WebAssembly for Qt Creator: I started with 1.39.8, but Qt Creator was always complaining that I don't use 1.39.7. I updated Qt Creator to the recent version (Qt Creator 4.12.2) but still complains even when I tried to use Emscripten1.39.7!!!

You can, it works with QtQuick.

Well WebAssembly is pretty strict, if you want to make https requests you need to use a proxy/bridge program that translates from websockets to http, it's installed on a PC on the same LAN as the WebAssembly PC (or on the same PC). For example you could use this one: https://github.com/novnc/websockify

@lorn-potter I have installed emsdk using ./emsdk install sdk-fastcomp-1.38.27-64bit ./emsdk activate sdk-fastcomp-1.38.27-64bit bcz installation fails(Error : No such tool/sdk) with ./emsdk install sdk-1.38.16-64bit and using online installer as well as offline static build am getting same error for simple Qt Application build error log kmb@ubuntu:~/Work/FEB2020/TestApp/build$ /home/kmb/Qt/5.14.0/wasm_32/bin/qmake ..

Hi Patrick. I'm in the same situation. Installation on archlinux using the official qt5.13 online installer. Android and desktop kits are well configured on qtcreator just by using their respectif qmake. However when I choose the one.of webassembly (wasm_32) distributed by qt, qtcreator warns about the ABI, saying that it is not defined. Its value is unknown-unknown-unknown-..... I compiled a simple qt project using wasm_32 kit but link fails with the following error main.o: architecture machine must be wasm32. Any help?

Oops! It worked in my last attempt, although it look a long time. So, my problem was Emscripten's version after all. Here is the version that worked: emscripten-1.37.1 Note: I've used emsdk to install Emscripten and I had to install a matching LLVM/CLang version: clang-e1.37.1-64bit
