WebAssembly multi canvas "Failed to make context current"

balping · 10 Oct 2022, 18:53

I'm trying to use multiple canvases / screens to render multiple QQuickView windows in wasm. I'm using Qt 6.3.2

// main.cpp
#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQuickView>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
	QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

	const auto screens = app.screens();
	if(screens.size() < 2){
		qDebug() << "Expected at least 2 screens";
		return 1;
	}

	for(auto & screen : screens){
		qDebug() << screen;
	}

	QQuickView mainViewer;
	mainViewer.setScreen(screens[0]);
	mainViewer.setSource(QUrl(u"qrc:/wasm-multiwindow/main.qml"_qs));
	mainViewer.setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView);


	QQuickView secondViewer;
	secondViewer.setScreen(screens[1]);
	secondViewer.setSource(QUrl(u"qrc:/wasm-multiwindow/second.qml"_qs));
	secondViewer.setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView);

	mainViewer.show();
	secondViewer.show();


	return app.exec();
}

In the browser's console I get the following error:

QRhiGles2: Failed to make context current. Expect bad things to happen.
Failed to start frame

If I set the same screen for both QQuickView objects, there's no error, but only one of them is visible of course. I have no issue running this code on x64 Linux target with two physical displays.

So is this a bug

in the browser?
in Qt?
in my code?

If it's option 3, maybe I could try to add manual locking around the opengl context?

Also, I have no problem creating 2 widgets on 2 canvases:

// this works
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>


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

	const auto screens = app.screens();
	if(screens.size() < 2){
		qDebug() << "Expected at least 2 screens";
		return 1;
	}

	QWidget w1;
	w1.setScreen(screens[0]);
	w1.show();

	QWidget w2;
	w2.setScreen(screens[1]);
	w2.show();

	return app.exec();
}

For completeness here's rest of my code:

# wasm-multiwindow.pro
QT += quick

SOURCES += \
        main.cpp

resources.files = main.qml second.qml
resources.prefix = /$${TARGET}
RESOURCES += resources

# Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Qt Creator's code model
QML_IMPORT_PATH =

# Additional import path used to resolve QML modules just for Qt Quick Designer
QML_DESIGNER_IMPORT_PATH =

# Default rules for deployment.
qnx: target.path = /tmp/$${TARGET}/bin
else: unix:!android: target.path = /opt/$${TARGET}/bin
!isEmpty(target.path): INSTALLS += target

// main.qml
import QtQuick

Rectangle {
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    color: "#ff0000"

    Text {
        text: "hello"
    }
}

// second.qml
import QtQuick

Rectangle {
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    color: "#00ff00"

    Text {
        text: "hi"
    }
}

This is the default autogenerated HTML, with an extra canvas inserted.

It is indeed a bug, see: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-106707
