QVariant error but I'm not using QVariant

[whatabout]

I'm seeing this fatal compilation error about QVariant error but I'm not using QVariant. What's that about?

error: use of deleted function ‘QVariant::QVariant(T) [with T = char*; typename std::enable_if<disjunction_v<std::is_pointer<_Tp>, std::is_member_pointer<_Tp> >, bool>::type <anonymous> = false]’

You say:

I'm not using QVariant.

Pants on fire! You are using QVariantwhen you call:

QAbstractItemModel::setData(const QModelIndex &index, const QVariant &value, int role = Qt::EditRole);

theStringis a char*, from which you can't construct a QVariant. That's why you get an error.
Use a QStringinstead and it will compile.

Please provide a minimal example of your problem, the used Qt and compiler version.

Ah yes that was it, thanks.
Stay warm...
