What's the problem with this code? Works for pyqt5 but not for pyqt6.

Aksaht

When I run everything works fine except it stops at instagram splash/loading screen, even the right click menu option don't work.

*Note the output come everytime same in every pyqt app

There is no problem with internet connection.

import sys

from PyQt6.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt6.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView
from PyQt6.QtWebEngineCore import QWebEnginePage, QWebEngineProfile
from PyQt6.QtCore import QUrl


class Main(QWebEngineView):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.profile = QWebEngineProfile("data", self) # Create a off-road profile with parent self
        self.profile.setPersistentCookiesPolicy
        (QWebEngineProfile.PersistentCookiesPolicy.AllowPersistentCookies) # Force the cookie to be stored in disk
        self.profile.setHttpCacheType(QWebEngineProfile.HttpCacheType.DiskHttpCache) # Cache is stored in disk
        self.profile.setPersistentStoragePath('data') # Cookie path in data folder in root
        self.profile.setCachePath('data') # Cache path in data folder in root

        self.page = QWebEnginePage(self.profile) # Create a page with profile from above
        self.setPage(self.page) # not set page to QWebEngineView
        self.load(QUrl("https://www.instagram.com")) # load the url in view
        self.show()


app = QApplication(sys.argv)
main = Main()
app.exec()

#qwebengine

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you also check with PySide6 ?

PyQt is from Riverbank Computing so if there's a regression, you should check with them directly.

@SGaist Not working still 😔

JonB

@Aksaht Does this mean you were able to try with PySide6, as @SGaist asked, and it is not working there as under PyQt6?

SGaist

Your storage paths are the problem.

Aksaht

@JonB No PySide6 did'nt made any difference.

@SGaist said in What's the problem with this code? Works for pyqt5 but not for pyqt6.:

Your storage paths are the problem.

Make them point in a suitable folder (e.g. one that you have write access to) and it works.
