dbus

[OzzT]

Using Arch Linux with KDE 6.5.1 and QT 6.10.
I'm trying to write a QML script that will interact with KDE AcitivityManager using dbus.

import QtQuick 6.10
import QtCore 6.10
import QtDBus 6.10
Item {
    id: root
    
        DBusInterface {
                id: activityManager
                service: "org.kde.ActivityManager"
                path: "/ActivityManager/Activities"
                interfaceName: "org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities"
        }
    ....
}

When I run the script below I get error:

qml6 main.qml
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
file:///.../qml/main.qml:3:1: module "QtDBus" is not installed
qml: Did not load any objects, exiting.

I have qt6-declarative installed.

I tried to check if QT recognize this module:

/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmlplugindump QtDBus 6.10
qmlplugindump is deprecated.
Please declare your types using QML_ELEMENT and related macros.
Then utilize the build system to invoke qmltyperegistrar in order to
generate qmltypes files.
QQmlComponent: Component is not ready
file:///typelist.qml:2:1: module "QtDBus" is not installed

• How do I properly load QtDBus ?

Yes and seems to be working:
❯ which qdbus6
/usr/bin/qdbus6

@OzzT One moment QtDBus is a C++ module, not QML. https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtdbus-index.html

Thanks.
Do I take from your answer that there is no interface to interact with dbus from QML other than external command such as qdbus?
