hey , sorry for not being clear but what i meant by hosted was like node app is not hosted anywhere . So i added node code to my qt project and in main.cpp i create a Qprocess of node and then just provide localhost url to webengineview.

this solves my purpose.

So in short what i did was :

copied node app code to my qt project. created a process of node running the node app via Qprocess. provided localhost url:port to webengineview and it shows the app.

@mousemao I've made a feature request here https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55074

BTW, 大哥，你好~~

Found the problem. It looks like during the initial stage of nmake, it was spitting out some errors complaining that the command line is too long. I found this ticket and patched those 3 files into my directory and it fixed the problem: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/160622/

Later down the line I experienced another compile issue (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54455) and patching this file fixed it: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/163955/

The solution was simple, i was inattentive, but Web Engine Team helps me, thanks guys

webView.onNavigationRequested: { if(request.navigationType === WebEngineView.BackForwardNavigation) { print("onNavigationRequested", request.url) request.action = WebEngineView.IgnoreRequest; } }

@MicNielsen I guess it isn't possible :(
