pyside6-project.exe existed with code 1

[CKurdu]

Qt Creator can't build my project. But when I run the app from the console, it works as expected.

I tried to remove pycache and clean and rebuild. It didn't work.

I believe there is another cache somewhere that I need to clean but I don't know.

Hi,

Just for testing, can you try to move your project in a folder that does not contain "self" in its path ?

@SGaist said in pyside6-project.exe existed with code 1:

that does not contain "self" in its path ?

Nah, surely not...?!

hi @SGaist ,

On my Linux, it is working from a path that doesn't contain a directory of 'self'. It gives the same error.

ValueError: substring not found
JSONDecodeError: running pyside6-metaobjectdump on /home/ckurdu/Projects/Qt/pyside6/progressive_memory/packages/Helpers/main.py: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

The text encoding of main.py is "utf-8 without bom"

[CKurdu]

I realized that "from Pyside6 import QtCore" making this happen. I don't remember when I added this line. When we create a python class from Qt Creator, it adds this line automatically. Maybe I copied and pasted it wrongly to the main.py.

But why this line creates this problem, I don't know.

[friedemannkleint]

Can you please paste a minimal Python code snippet that causes pyside6-metaobjectdump to fail?

[CKurdu]

Hello @friedemannkleint

You can create a normal python Qt Qml app and add the below line

from PySide6 import QtCore

Full code

# This Python file uses the following encoding: utf-8
import sys
from pathlib import Path

from PySide6 import QtCore
from PySide6.QtGui import QGuiApplication
from PySide6.QtQml import QQmlApplicationEngine


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QGuiApplication(sys.argv)
    engine = QQmlApplicationEngine()
    qml_file = Path(__file__).resolve().parent / "main.qml"
    engine.load(qml_file)
    if not engine.rootObjects():
        sys.exit(-1)
    sys.exit(app.exec())

Thanks, we can fix this.
