Error QMYSQL Plugin on Windows

Then again, start your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable to see what is happening.

Looks like you only built the plugin for release and not for debug and you are running a debug build of your application.

Stelian

@SGaist I do not know if I built the plugin for release and not for debug, but if you say that I did, ok, you are the champion.
Tell me what I have to do next.

Stelian

@SGaist Believe me, I don't know how to build a plugin in release mode or in debug mode, to my shame.
If I did that, I did it unconsciously.

SGaist

Add -debug to the qmake call

Stelian

@SGaist I've called the qmake in debug mode, run the code and again Database is Not Connected!
Then again, I have start the application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable and I get the next message

Cannot load library C:\Qt\Qt5.12.1\5.12.1\mingw73_64\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlmysqld.dll: The specified module could not be found.

Does the exact file specified by that path actually exist, or not? (Note that the file mentioned, qsqlmysqld.dll, has a d just before the ., presumably indicating it's a debug build; this is not the same as if it were qsqlmysql.dll.)

Stelian

@JonB Thank you for reply!
I apologize for answering late, but that file is right in that location:

C:\Qt\Qt5.12.1\5.12.1\mingw73_64\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlmysqld.dll

See the print 0_1551538547607_Annotation 2019-03-02 165509.jpg screen.

SGaist

To reduce the output, can you move out of that folder all .dll files that are not related to MySQL ?

Stelian

@SGaist I removed the non-MySQL files

SGaist

Where exactly are the dlls matching the library you used to build the plugin ?

Stelian

@SGaist The dlls I've used are C:Program Files/MYSQL/MySQL Server 8.0/lib

0_1551558942027_Annotation 2019-03-02 223046.jpg

If you talk about other dlls please correct me

Stelian

@SGaist I would have to use dlls from this path C:Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Connector C 6.1/lib

0_1551561982860_Annotation 2019-03-02 232603.jpg

SGaist

@Stelian said in Error QMYSQL Plugin on Windows:

C:Program Files/MYSQL/MySQL Server 8.0/lib

Then that's the one you should be having in your PATH environment variable.

One other thing you can use is Dependency Walker. Use it on your Qt MySQL plugin. Check that it can find the MySQL dll.

Stelian

@SGaist yes, I have that path in my path environment variable.
I have never used Dependency Walker.
What do I have to do ?

JonB

@Stelian
Go to http://www.dependencywalker.com/, read, and download the appropriate for your architecture. You just point it at a .exe, or in this case the .dll you are having trouble with. Look through its output window, to see whether there is another .dll which is required but cannot be found, and report back.

If you close the yellow branches does the MySQL dll appear as good or not ?

@SGaist I don't have an option to close the yellow branches
