External QML module debugging

? Offline

Hello everyone!

I have a generic question about external QML module debugging. I wanted to debug an external qml module in C++ application if possible.

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

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    const QUrl url(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml/main.qml"));
    QObject::connect(&engine, &QQmlApplicationEngine::objectCreated,
                                      &app, [url](QObject *obj, const QUrl &objUrl) {
        if (!obj && url == objUrl) {
            QCoreApplication::exit(-1);
        }
    }, Qt::QueuedConnection);
 
    engine.load(url);
    return app.exec();
}

// main.qml
import QtQuick 6.3
import QtQuick.Controls 6.3
import QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 6.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 6.3
import QtQml 6.0
import MyModule.Utils 1.1

ApplicationWindow {
    id: applicationWindow

    width: 1024
    height: 600
    visible: true
    title: qsTr("xxx")

I'm able to debug the application and put the brakepoint in main.qml as well as in main.cpp. But I wanted to debug MyModule.Utils module. I have compiled it like an external module and set the QML_IMPORT_PATH. Than opened the file in QtCreator and put the breakepoint there. But nothing happened... .

So is it possible to step into external module or only the one way is to use Console.log()?

Thank you,
Andy
