I can't open .qml in vscode

[Trent Treborn]

I have python 3.11.4, I have qt 6.6.1 and qt quick installed, I have pyside6, I have the 'qt for python', 'qt tools' extensions, I tried installing almost all 'qml' extensions, none of them worked. I tried adding the paths of executables related to qml to the environment variables:

D:\Qt\6.6.1\mingw_64\bin
D:\Qt2\Tools\QtDesignStudio\qt6_design_studio_reduced_version\bin

it didn't work. I don't know what to do...

I installed qt in the D:\Qt folder and the qt quick extension in the D:\Qt2 folder because it wouldn't allow it to be installed in the same folder. I don't know if I should install it in a specific folder within D:\Qt, but I added the D:\Qt2 bin path to the environment variables too

I even tried adding these paths:

"qtForPython.qml.path": "D:/Qt/6.6.1/mingw_64/qml",

"qtForPython.qmlformat.path": "D:/Qt/6.6.1/mingw_64/bin/qmlformat.exe"

to settings.json, nothing changed:

Expected token `numeric literal'

There is nothing written in the .qml file and it does not recognize it

@Trent-Treborn What exactly does not work?
QML files are simple text files.

@jsulm It's as if vscode didn't recognize .qml as a valid extension and didn't compile it. But I have already installed several qml extensions. I found the installation management and I'm going to try to install all the Qt quick 3d files in the same folder but I don't think that's the problem

[jsulm]

@Trent-Treborn Still not sure what the problem is. QML is not compiled but interpreted (you can compile QML if you have commercial license, but it is not necessary).

@Trent-Treborn What happens if you put some valid QML code into the file?

[Trent Treborn]

@jsulm lol thank you very much. I would never imagine that it would be because the file was empty. By default this usually doesn't happen and when you open a file and there's an error it's because something isn't working, so I thought it wouldn't even work
