Unable to load from qrc after "Add new... (QML file)" 🍀

enjoysmath

I created a very basic application (MWE). I'm not able to create my own QML file and subsequently import it into main.qml.

QMLSide.qml:

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3

Frame {
    ListView {
        implicitWidth: 250
        implicitHeight: 250
        model: 100
        delegate: RowLayout {
            CheckBox {}
            TextField {}
        }
    }
}

main.qml:

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5
import "QMLSide.qml"

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 300
    height: 120
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

      MyListView {

      }

}

See screenshot for errors but it says:

qrc:/main.qml:3 "QMLSide.qml": no such directory
 qml\qqmlapplicationengine.cpp: 132

Any ideas how to get it to import properly?

Do not import anything, just use it.

QML engine always scans the current directory - all files in the same directory as main.qml are automatically available and recognized.

You only need to use import when your QML code is in a different directory, and you should only specify the directory path, not file path.

Thanks @sierdzio that was very helpful! :)
