Debug javascript in QML possible?

kathy

I am using QCreator to debug Qt application. Is there a way to debug JavaScript functions using Qt Creator?

Hi,

Yes, you should be able to debug QML/JS functions. The documentation for this is located at http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-snapshot/creator-debugging-qml.html .

I have read the link you listed. If I use the code generated from Qcreator Qt Quick Application. The main.cpp file:

...
QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
viewer.setMainQmlFile&#40;QLatin1String("qml/main.qml"&#41;);
viewer.show();
...

I can debug it.

But if I replace above code with:

QDeclarativeView view;
view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile&#40;"qml/main.qml"&#41;);
view.show();

Debugger can not be started. Why?

Most likely the QDeclarativeView does not start the debugging support.

This feature is turned off unless specifically set up since being able to debug a application can be a security issue.
