TableWidget.insertRow(1) fails inside connect() call
-
Newbie question: I used pyuic5 to get a .py file of a simple test-case gui from Designer:
-two widgets, one dialog
- widget 1: table with 2 rows and 2 columns
- widget 2: push button, intended to add a row to the table on each push
In Designer, the insertRow mehtod does not exist as an option, so I saved the .ui and made the .py from it using the selectAll slot instead; the corresponding line in the generated .py is:
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.tableWidget.selectAll)And that works just fine.
Changing that line to
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.tableWidget.insertRow)
also works and adds a row at the top; but, I'd like to add a row at the bottom, something line .insertRow(self.tableWidget.rowCount) but as a first test I just tried .insertRow(1):self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.tableWidget.insertRow(1))and this returns an error:
c:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5>python dialog.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dialog.py", line 8, in <module>
uio.setupUi(window)
File "c:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\ui.py", line 34, in setupUi
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.tableWidget.insertRow(1))
TypeError: argument 1 has unexpected type 'NoneType'Any idea why that's happening? No doubt this is a newbie mistake, but, any info to help resolve it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Solved it with the help of "this":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/17393 post.
Changing to
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(lambda:self.tableWidget.insertRow(1))(basically just prefixing it with 'lambda:')
solves it; I didn't realize connect() expects a reference to a function. Yup, a newbie problem indeed.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
It's rather that you are giving the slot a parameter. You also can't connect a parameterless signal to a slot with parameter.
Anyway, for your purpose the use of a lambda is perfectly fine
