Why does it show me this warning?

[lincoln]

Hi guys, I have the following code:

In My .hpp

void setLabelInfo(const QString &color, const QString& userName="PUBLIC") noexcept;

The .cpp

void Widget::setLabelInfo(const QString& color, const QString& userName) noexcept
{
  ui->lblInfo->setText(QString("<span style='color:%1;'>"
                               "<strong>MyCompany - Super User "
                               "</strong></span>").arg(color));


  ui->lblState->setText(QString("<span style='color:%1;'>"
                                "<strong>User: %2"
                                "</strong></span>").arg(color).arg(userName));

}

I get this warning, here I leave the image, why does that message appear, and how can I improve it, thanks in advance.

I am using Qt 6.2.4 and Clang compiler 16.0.5

@Lincoln you're supposed to use this arg overload

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qstring.html#arg-14

which is one call, currently you're calling arg(arg) and on the temporary you call again arg(arg) with the 2nd argument

ui->lblState->setText(QString("<span style='color:%1;'>"
"<strong>User: %2"
"</strong></span>").arg(color, userName));

Assuming color and userName are QStrings or implicitly converted. Also use QStringLiteral here instead of QString, its "cleaner"
