Empty values of command line options

[Dmitriano]

The value of databasePathOption command line option in the code below is always empty:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);

    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
    QCoreApplication::setApplicationVersion("1.0");
    QCoreApplication::setApplicationName("MyApp");

    QCommandLineParser parser;
    parser.setApplicationDescription("My App");
    parser.addHelpOption();
    parser.addVersionOption();
    QCommandLineOption databasePathOption(QStringList() << "x" << "db123", QCoreApplication::translate("main", "Program database file path."));
    parser.addOption(databasePathOption);
    parser.process(app);

    QString val = parser.value(databasePathOption);
    qDebug() << "db=" << val;
   ...
}

I start the program with the following arguments:

--db123 "asdf"

but it prints an empty string.

What did I do wrong?

Hi,

From the documentation, you are missing the valueName parameter.
