QXmpp doesn't connect to server when button clicked

siya

When I try to connect to my server via the main method, the connection succeeds. However when I try to do this via the push of a button in a separate class, the connection ends at "Sat Sep 18 20:02:39 2021 INFO Connecting to localhost:4999"

Here a snippet of the main class:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])	{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QXmppConfiguration configuration;


    configuration.setDomain("siya");
    configuration.setPort(4999);
    configuration.setJid("siya@siya");
    configuration.setPassword("siya");
    configuration.setHost("localhost");
    configuration.setUser("siya");
    Client client(configuration);
    client.logger()->setLoggingType(QXmppLogger::StdoutLogging);

    client.connectToServer(configuration);


    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

And here is a snippet of the method which should connect to the server:

void MainWindow::connected()	{
    QXmppConfiguration configuration;



    configuration.setDomain("siya");
    configuration.setPort(4999);
    configuration.setJid("siya@siya");
    configuration.setPassword("siya");
    configuration.setHost("localhost");
    configuration.setUser("siya");
    Client client(configuration);
    client.logger()->setLoggingType(QXmppLogger::StdoutLogging);

    qDebug() << "here";
    client.connectToServer(configuration);


}

The naming of the method is a bit off but.

Naturally, I comment out the one way to connect before trying the other. I believe I have also set up the signals correctly as when I press the button, there is output indicating a connection was attempted to be established. The "network" property is also included in the .pro file. I'm not sure what's going wrong.

EDIT: Just for clarification, the Client class inherits the QXmppClient class. Even when I tried using the QXmppClient class directly, I got the same issue.

Client client(configuration);

Basic c++ knowledge missing - how long does this object live?

@Christian-Ehrlicher oops. Allocated from heap, now works properly - thanks. Didn't know this was "basic" c++ knowledge though, but alright

Allocated from heap

Would be easier to simply make client class member - no need to allocate on the heap (and delete later when not needed anymore).
