CMAKE - Adding the QRC files & Accessing the qml inside

[guru_desh]

Hi

How to add QRC files to CMAKE & access qml files inside the Qrc files.

Starting with Qt now.

1. Qt 6.4 & Mac
2. Create the CMake Project
3. I'm able to compile & run the program.

I added the new QRC file called TestMe.qrc.
Added on TestMe.qrc file to CMAKE project.

Add the cmake configuration like the following.

set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
qt_add_resources(RESOURCE_FILES TestMe.qrc)

qt_add_executable(appTest_1
    main.cpp
    ${RESOURCE_FILES}
)

Inside the main.qml file

Window {
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    title: qsTr("Hello World")
    MyButton {
        text : "Gururaja"
    }
    TestQRC{
        text : "Testing the QRC NOW..."
    }
}

When I run the program It says TestQRC file is not found.

Please note that without qrc files I'm able to add the QML file & image file directly like the following.

qt_add_qml_module(appTest_1
    URI Test_1
    VERSION 1.0
    QML_FILES Main.qml
    QML_FILES MyButton.qml
    RESOURCES NeckPillow_3.jpg
)

This works.

However adding the QML files through new QRC Files & adding the qrc file to the CMake project is not working.

Any input ? Thank you.

Hello,

the main.qml is in the .qrc ?
if not where do you launch the main.qml file from?

I tried to reproduce your example like this:
I can launch the whole thing without any problems

set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)

qt_add_resources(RESOURCE_FILES application.qrc)

qt_add_executable(appuntitled
    main.cpp
    ${RESOURCE_FILES}
)

in the file main.qml

import QtQuick

Window {
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    Test {
        id: test

        height: parent.height/2
        width: parent.width/2
    }
}

In the file main.cpp

QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    const QUrl url(u"qrc:/Main.qml"_qs);
    QObject::connect(
        &engine,
        &QQmlApplicationEngine::objectCreationFailed,
        &app,
        []() { QCoreApplication::exit(-1); },
        Qt::QueuedConnection);
    engine.load(url);

and in the file .qrc

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file>Test.qml</file>
        <file>Main.qml</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>
