Extra characters after test expression

[sonichy]

qmlscene a.qml
a.qml:1: Extra characters after test expression.
Error processing project file: a.qml

import QtQuick 2.3

Rectangle {
    width: 300
    height: 300
    color: "lightgray"

    Text {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        text: "Hello, QML!"
    }
}

I've tried the code you pasted with qmlscene from Qt 5.15 and it worked without any errors or warnings.

Make sure your file is encoded with UTF-8. Try changing line ending style to Unix if that does not help.

is that copied and pasted? because qml file that instantiate items have to start with a capital letter!

Not if it's the only file opened by qmlscene (same as main.qml does not need to be Main.qml in regular apps).

@sierdzio thats why I wrote instantiate items, may be the wrong wording 🤷‍♂️

if you have somewhere ein your code

MyQmlObject {

}

the class has to have a capital starting letter, If you load stuff directly to the qml engine, than yes, no capital letter needed
